I always walk around and check the tires, oil, battery connections,
and etc before a long trip. And that's just my automobile, which I
ensure always stays at 0.0 AGL with no roll, pitch nor yaw.

Where on earth do you live that allows you to go anywhere useful
with "no roll, pitch nor yaw"?

That said, I recall an old advert for a Citroen with one of those
weirdo suspensions, which showed two views of the car on a corner.

In one picture, the car was said to be stationary; in the other,
it was reputed to be taking the corner at something like 60 mph.

The text invited readers to try to figure out which was which.

There was no discernible roll in either picture, and the shutter
speed was fast enough for there to be no discernible blurring of
the tyres' tread patterns.

Eventually, I *did* find a tell-tale feature.

While that suspension could keep the car's body pretty level, it
couldn't prevent the tip of the roof-mounted aerial from giving
the game away by bending towards the outside of the turn ...
