Tuesday, December 20, 2011 at 6:22AM“Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car” (E.B. White, One Man's Meat, 1943). It is not about the destinations in our lives but rather about the journey and the vehicle that gets us there. It is these journeys that motivate us to do or be more. This series is about expressing the passion, the enthusiasm for automobiles and how cars can inspire, evoke creativity and dreams. It is the about the love for the engineering, design, speed, beauty and the thrill of the machine. It is through this series we will share the stories that inspire and motivate as well as how these machines have had a profound impact on so many lives.
Toy Car: A Vehicle to Desk Toy’s Dream
The personal project by director Tom Jenkins titled “Address is Approximate” is about a lonely desk toy who longs for escape from the dark confines of the office, so he takes a cross country road trip to the Pacific Coast in the only way he can-using a toy car and Google Maps Street View.

It is the memory and the emotions of your journey that will be forever remembered with the car that took you there. If you haven't already, its your time to take your journey and create memories of a lifetime.

Thanks for sharing, I love the toy's sense of adventure. Very creative cockpit illusion with the computer. You're right, there's a freedom 'on the road,' that you cannot find in an office.
