Way back when Daytona first came out I did a pic of it in Paint, on my 386.
It was made of actual polygons. What I did was draw a texture, and use the skew functions to attempt to get things at the right angle. I then crop it as a rectangle or triangle, and popped it into the picture. So the road, car, background wall and grass, were all done this way and it looked very very cool. The sky and smoke effects I used the other tools for that (especially the spray can). Unfortunately I don't have a copy of it. I backed it up on my P90 but lost it.
