I saw that same picture at least 5 years ago. Looked contrived then too.

I've had some of my best times just sitting in the parking lot and
watching people trying to load lumber into cars.

Almost as entertaining as a State boat launch.

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.

Snopes is not ALWAYS accurate either.

Did you actually look at Snopes' account of this? If that's not accurate, then
they sure went to a lot of trouble to manufacture their independent
corroboration.

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.

The twine gets me. Acceleration of the car, bumps in the road, sudden
braking of the car and no State Troopers on the highway. The twine
held, right. HD should sell the twine and not give it out at the
door.

that picture's been floating around the internet for at least 5 years. I'm
sure there was no home depot involved. It's a staged photo.

OLD NEWS, last time I saw that picture the lumber was loaded at
builders square a now out of business company before home depot was
around here

Here is a link to more on what are real photos.

There are multiple pictures from a few different angles with references to
news clippings

The car could have been planted somehow but the lumber really was on the car
in that parking lot.

I managed to haul a whole trunkload of concrete paving blocks home in
my Civic. Of course, now there are no bushings left in the rear lower
control arms. I mean, not a trace of rubber.
