Post by cohocarl »

Think this guy is putting on some sway bars, or springs to slam it?If this is photoshopped, they did a good job. If not....wow.

Great photo. That is the way things are done in Mexico by those who don't have what it takes to do it right. I saw a similar situation while there a few years ago and it scared me to death realizing what might happen. When you don't have the bucks, you just gotta do what you gotta do.

Actually it looks like he is doing some welding on the gas tank... I wonder if it is full?

This shot is from a safety video my mom was forced to watch at work last week...it's a real shot but it's a setup.

This photo has been posted here before... I bet he had his back yard mechanical buddies to lift it up so they could put the wood under it.If its part of a video... did it collaps?

No, it didn't...it's a "what's wrong with this picture" segment.
