Great find SE.

The one on the car is clearly not concrete, but does appear to be identical to the breakwaters you've found.

I can see how it might be possible to use say an expanded polystyrene model for investment casting of a cast iron unit, but how would it be used for a concrete one. Or might it be a prototype space model?

On a purely Geeky note this particular design of breakwater only seems to be used in Romania on the Black sea coast, and, the cars number plate is registered to Prahova county in Romania. I suspect that the picture was taken a long time ago when the mold was being designed.

Where Zloot came from shuttle landing pads looked exactly like Opel Vectras: He got the shock of his life when it started to move.

Wait a minute, how did you get a screenshot of Back to the Future 4? I heard they were having a hard time getting a working DeLorean.

What you don't see is the driver and the passenger with their arms out the windows holding the thing onto the car!

When my wife called complaining about the size of her "crow's feet" I was quite confused until she arrived home.
