Well, I've got one this time, thanks to a good camera angle and a dose of Photoshop trickery:
Just a couple days ago, I made a road trip to the Kansas Cosmosphere space exploration museum in Hutchinson (NW of Wichita); they've got a couple of rocket replicas standing outside. This one's a Titan II for the Gemini missions of the mid-'60s.
Instead of appearing like a collision course, I'd rather imagine the scene as the mighty old rocket granting my Monte some real "warp speed"!
Aw, crap; I just re-read the rules: no photo-editing except for cropping.
Oh, well; I'll let it stand as an "almost" entry, or something.

Cool shot though!!! You still have time to submit another. In the next few contests I will make it so people can do some editing because some people come up with some AWESOME creations with editing!!!!
took a shot of Angela driving past me on the highway, didn't turn out as expected.... looks like it's standing still and was hard facing the sun could barely make out cars going by on my phone

Check the settings on the Camera and set it for (ISO 100) Then you will see the wheels spin. You could be set a 500 or more which is (stop action).

Wow what a treat to go there, I was there with my sons Boy Scout troop years back, enjoyed every minute.
They are supposed to have Gus Grisoms Liberty space Capsule there? The one they recovered a few years ago from the bottom of the Ocean. Just wondering if it is?

Ok, here is one that I took last evening. Driving down town got a reflection shot in action, you can see that I am taking the photo as I am driving and I am on the street rolling the signs are a blur too. Best I can do as I can't seem to get some one to either drive or take the shot at the moment. 
I took the photo driving south thru downtown, with the Camera facing out the Passenger side of the Car to the West, in the reflection is the Radio Shack sign on the East side of the street. A pure luck shot I tired this at several places before I got this one. I attached the un-cropped shot.
