Wow! finally the complete version of it Great as always! I fav it for sure!
BTW: the curved ways help the turning and stabilizing much more easy for the high speed vehicle. Or eles it will fall of the route when turning....

I don't think expressways should be curved... seems a tad bit on the dangerous side hehe

thanks. it would be cool if it were colored realistically, i'm working on that(i've only been using ps for about a year). i originally started in Painter, but there was a lagging time which irritated me, so i switched to ps. as for the bg, i was going to put surrounding buildings, but i got lazy.

Hohoho, this is so cool
Again I'll say how much I love those reflections on the metallic surface
One thing about the speedlines, you should be more careful and take care of its neatness. I can see some lines that are way off parallel and even in small numbers it can upset the speed effects.
Here's a simple filter trick
Fill in your background with the base colour, add some specks of dark and light grains of varying sizes. Lots of larger specks near the foreground and less littles ones further away. More light specks further away and more dark nearer the foreground. And since the surface is curved, the specks should be larger and more condensed in the middle while smaller and lose nearer to the edges.
Run it through the Filter>Blur>Radial Blur, set the blur amount, select the 'Zoom' method and click to set the vanishing point of the zoom blur, click 'OK'. Add some more specks in the same manner and press CTRL+F or go back to the blur menu to adjust the blur amount (don't touch the vanishing point). Do it several times until and decrease your blur amount everytime you run the filter again. In the end, always touch up your filtered stuff so that people wouldn't even suspect that it came out of a PS filter.
Overall, nice work!
