People like to talk about their cars like they're an extension of themselves. More than just metal and rubber and oil, there's a connection between man and machine as close as the mind and the body.

Camilo is on his sixth 2005 Ford GT, and the Ford GT is literally part of him — he was the lead designer at Ford's SVT Studio that designed the car.

Computer generated effects might get all the press when a film is released, but practical effects — puppets, animatronics, costumes — are better than ever. They can even rival their digital brethren for realism, and keep the audience out of the uncanny valley.
