Funny none the less, it IS photoshopped. Not saying it couldn't happen, that just is not a real picture of it. If you zoom in, the size of the pixels are larger on the Mini.

Good job though, I'm still laughing

Lump me with the skeptics.
The pic is photo shopped. Hit the zoom one time and watch the pixels go to blocks around the MINI. Alas, the MINI is not using enough sunblock, 'cause it doesn't have a shadow under it.
Isn't that a Ponderosa Pine?
OK, post a link a paper running this shot. I'll hush, promise. Until then I am gonna giggle at the pic and call it bull. Good bull, but bull.

The story isn't that the cars were slammed by the tree, then. No, the big news is that a ponderosa pine was discovered for the first time outside the west. There's laws against that kind of thing.

I imagine Blago is responsible. Well, or maybe the Outfit. Or both.

Which picture?

Sorry for the confusion, but the picture that isn't photoshopped is the one I finally was able to attach to my last post.

Here's the link to the story:

Badly photoshopped. Look through the rear window....no reflection on the front windshield....no shadow....pixelation around the MINI where it was 'smoothed' into this picture and just overall pixelation of the MINI when the image was probably shrunk to fit this one. Plus, is the MINI really THAT small?

Anyway, funny, though! Topical, too

It wasn’t done with Photoshop, it was done with PAINT, took me 5 min, and wasn’t mean to be professional. Just funny, for everybody to enjoy.

What was funny was how serious everyone got about it. You must have enjoyed that.

Not THAT far fetched...

I took this shot at the mall this weekend. I just enjoyed my car cowering (with swagger) in front of the Hummer. However, having seen the P-shop Chop job in this thread, it at least shows that the concept is hardly far-fetched! :-)

I sure did, I was amazed first, and then very amused.
