I dunno....Tell me how that car ended up in that spot....without disturbing the grass on either side of it, without disturbing the bushes or any of the road signs or telephone poles.

Any driver who could accomplish that is truly talented.

I think the fitting caption would have to be:

"LLLLLLLLLike a glove!!!!" :D

Plus......It would seem the most likely cause for a car to flip is a curb. Did this car hit the curb, flip and come to rest about 5 feet from it? If not, it came skidding accross the intersection and neatly ended up at this point without disrupting everything else? The more you look, the less likely it seems. We need CSI Miami, ASAP.

If it did hit a curb and flip and come to rest 5 feet from the curb, then the wrong side is f'ed up.....but I still think you all are a bunch of paranoid conspiracy theorists.:D

Because the shot was taken with a telephoto lens your depth of field is going to be greatly distorted. I'd be willing to bet that all those poles and sign posts are NOT as close to the car as they appear. Judging from damage on the car it would appear that the car was traveling from behind the area the car is resting in making it impossible to see any carnage to the ground and plant life that may be present.
My vote is still that this is an authentic photo.

Searching online... there are no articles on Yahoo or in the Downers Grove newspaper, police blotter etc. regarding a crash of this nature.

Why don't we call the Boston Market and ask them?

Sonic dB 12-12-2004 02:34 PM

Ok...I called them...and I was wrong...it really happened!

The girl at Boston Market said that it was right in front of their building, Silver Porsche from a local dealership. She wanted to see the picture so I gave her the Pelicanparts website. :)

KevinP73 12-12-2004 02:35 PM

Now lets see about that whole "Area 51" nonsense...............

1973911s 12-12-2004 02:39 PM

Area 51 Fireworks Superstore
(775) 727-6223

The guy said it really happened also.

So, Noah, why so quiet....... :) ?? You'e just a naural born skeptic, huh! Well, join the club, I'm the president of that.

I just thought this one was authentic. :D

89911 12-12-2004 04:31 PM

If the "girl" at Boston Market says it happened, how can it not be true!!:)

Why on earth would there be a news article about a one car accident w/ no injuries?? To the people in the world who are not reading this thread, it's about as important as "someone farted". :cool:

KevinP73 12-12-2004 04:33 PM

How do we know for sure she's from the Boston Market? Maybe she's not really a girl!! Ya know they can photochop those things now days also.

1973911s 12-12-2004 04:35 PM

Kevin,

Did you just get out of the paint booth?

1) It was a very expensive Porsche...would make a funny side story.

2) It should have made the local "police blotter", where things as minor as $200 in vandalism go.


KevinP...it was a chick, trust me I know those things. I got the number from the Boston Market Website....

(but maybe Al Queda hijacked the BM Website and posted a fake number?)

speeder 12-12-2004 04:39 PM

Just tried to read the Audiworld thread, how do you read a thread that requires (2) mouse clicks per reply?? (To read). :confused:

The feedback on that dealer is real stellar, ie. "greasy Guido ****tards", etc.... :D

Oh Haha 12-12-2004 04:45 PM

that's odd.
I just flipped open the new R&T magazine, right to Luxury Motors' full page ad.
Uh,no. No ad for a GT2.
Maybe next month:)

You called??!! Now that's what I call initiative! The Pelican BBS solves another mystery. :D

cegerer 12-12-2004 05:16 PM

Maybe we should file an FOI with the local constable too - the guy was arrested for reckless driving. Let's find out who this used car salesman is! :D
