That thing's so old it's got gray hairs. All you have to do is look at
the front and rear tires and how out of proportion they look to tell that
photo is fake.


There is a good website called snopes.com that debunks urban legends..

Turns out this one is true.

Well not everything on Snopes is true by the way, but in this case I confess
I was fooled. However I still have a hard time believing that a spontaneous
event like that spawned that many photos - unless the guy was doing this for
5 hours or something and then there'd be a hell of a lot more people around
him. And there has to be some 1000 lbs on that car's roof being held up
with twine?

I still say it's staged, but it happened, I was fooled.
