Martian Soil is one of my RSS daily reads. If you haven't noticed, I'm gaga about the other planets in the solar system, and particularly rabid about information concerning robotic probes to same. Anyway, I tipped Fred Kiesche, one of the bloggers at Martian Soil, to the driveonmars.com web site.
driveonmars.com uses Adobe Atmosphere (full dis: I'm the evangelist for Atmosphere) to provide a working 3D model of the Mars Rovers at both Meridiani Planum and Gusev Crater. The Rover's suspension is realistically modeled and you can view the Rover from any angle as it moves around. Martian physics are sufficiently realistic that you can tip the Rover over. BTW, it requires Windows 98SE and above, and IE5.5 and above...
