That the Vette appears to have been pushed partly out of the parking space looks authentic - but it also looks just too intact to have taken that hard a hit. No apparent broken fiberglass, or glass littering the ground under the cars. Not sure I'm buying it.

Scale of the Corvette relative to the shopping cart is wrong, and the shadow patterns indicate there must have been several Suns shining that day.

Seems like the blue car would have needed a ramp to land on top of the Corvette, instead of simply smashing into it.

It's all too clean.

Good catch!

I realize not everywhere in the US has winter like up north here, but that pic shows short sleeves and trees well leafed out. LOOKS more like summer.
