This totally reminds me of a game I built a long long time ago using only CSS: http://ryan-kahn.com/static/onlyCSS/

Kudos! I love it.

(edit) The game's end screen no longer works, and I built a level generator for it in php (remember, years ago) and am no longer using that host.

On Windows 8/Chrome, the car controlled by the player can get outside the browser window and overlap the taskbar at the bottom, which is absolutely mind-boggling.
Ha! That's the only image I used on the page. I changed the mouse pointer to be the image of the car. I'm really surprised you can still change the cursor to an image.
Haha, it tickled me that using php in the process apparently warrants an explanation nowadays 8)
I played it straight a healthy amount of time. Now I am high enough because of the road motion, I can see the webpage moving upwards.

This is an amazing game. Really nicely build. Is it open source?

Ha, kinda? It's all in the view/source. Feel free to do anything you want w/ it. If you want me to I might be able to track down the original php script and give you a link.

It might be a useful starting point to use this: http://ryan-kahn.com/static/onlyCSS/testRoad.html

That's what I used to play around with the styles for the cars themselves. Feel free to take it wherever you want and let me know what you end up with!
