Another thought… tall deaf mechanics need not apply. Seriously, you would have to be deaf not to hear the car crunching its roof! ---

Looks like a cartoon. The lift pads are at each end of the rocker panels, why is the center of the door bent? The bar over the lift has a kill switch to stop the lift motor, if that switch was defeated the cars roof would be damaged before the lower structure of the car. ---

Good spot. It’s hard to believe there are fake pictures on the internet. It’s a good thing they’re very rare. I think I found the only other one: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/1/1/11d5f99a361296ebf8ad51d1eb652f666ee27598.jpeg) ---

Actually, a car dealer I worked for had a stuffed jackalope in his office. It was a pretty neat job by the taxidermist and always drew comments. ---
