Oh, now I see the pics...first time I clicked was a dead link... 
I saw the C5 pics a few years ago. Think someone knew the story behind that said the guy was unloading a boat and drove too far in the lake, but I don't see a boat trailer..maybe the guy wanted to wash his car....

Is that C5 a chop? Looks pretty legit. What the heck was he doing in a boat ramp? You can see its gradually deeper in the 2nd pic from the first. The backup lights are still on. Why wouldn't somebody in that boat at least have thrown a rope to somebody to tie the car to one of the pier pilings to prevent it from going all the way under? Surely the boat has some rope or rigging on it.
Wait, was this one of those guys who actually sticks a hitch on his Vette? Maybe he could have been backing a jetski trailer down the ramp and went a little far.
Does anybody know the story with this, or is it actually a very good hoax pic?

Anybody ever get a divorce? Weird stuff happens

He's too dry and it's funny how there are NO other people around gawking...like it's everyday you see a Corvette at the bottom of a pool.

That is absolutely correct, nice catch!! It is without a doubt a photochop job.
