Jeff the pic and associated story has been floating around the internet for
a few months, and yes It's fake as the day is long,
There is no shadow from the load on the car
The boards are going through the roofline of a typical jetta so unless they
pushed in the roof 1 foot without breaking the windows
The twine does not go anywhere it just fades away (smudged out)
Also notice all of the signs are fuzzed out so you cannot read them
Once you've worked with Photoshop for a while you pick up on typical stuff
like this.
It's not possible, you have been Hoaxed
But this person did do a good job I almost believed it until I saw the rear
window intact and enlarged it to see what was up
Jeff
PS. They also superimposed a picture of a face in the rear window, this
picture is touched up from previous ones I have seen
Like the shadow is better and the superimposed faces are more smudged, but I
first saw this in aug. so a week ago is very funny

This picture is real - not doctored in anyway - and was taken last week in
Waldorf, MD by a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers
building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it there in the parking lot
of IHOP, he went and bought a camera to take pictures.
The car is still running as can be witnessed by the exhaust. A woman is
either asleep or otherwise out in the front seat passenger side. The guy
driving it was over jogging up and down on Rt. 925 in the background.
The witnesses said their physical state was OTHER than normal and the police
just shook their heads in amazement. The driver finally came back after the
police were there and was getting down at the back to cut the 'twine around
the load. They told him to get back until it was taken off.
The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they had
the customer sign a waiver!
Both back tires are trashed. The back shocks were driven up through The
floorboard. In the back seat are 10 bags, 80 lbs. each of concrete.
On the roof is many 2X4s, 4X4s and OSB sheets of lumber. They estimated the
load weight at 3000 lbs. The car is a VW Jetta with FL plates and the guy
said he was headed for Annapolis.
