It's an obvious fake. 1. rear side window would've broken (look at the
angle of the plywood and stuff--right where part of the car should be,
especially the 2x4s running under the plywood!!!!!!!!!), 2. string wouldn't
hold the 30 sheets of plywood + 20 4x4x6 + 6 sheets of OSB + other lumber
on the car at that angle--trust me, it just isn't possible. You're looking
at at least 1,200-1,500 lbs of lumber.
Stop being fooled by a long story about a Florida to New Jersey trip and a
liability release, blah blah, ITS A FAKE!!!!!!
