First of all, I completely stole this headline from NASA engineer Bobak Ferdowski (AKA The Mohawk Guy) on Twitter. Second, this is just a great image of the Curiosity rover sitting on Mars, including views of its tracks and where it did a wheelie or two.

Find out why this is such an intriguing region in this video:
Um, you can see a car on Mars. MT“@HiRISE: Curiosity Ready to Drill http://t.co/jpCf2q0mHB pic.twitter.com/WQSsmMzc99”
