I agree. It would take a long time to duplicate those reflections.

To all the aspiring junior photo analysts in here - come off it. The jeep is clearly not flat on top of the Vette. It's angled towards the camera, so it looks bigger. That's obviously the shot they were going for or they would have taken the picture on a different side. There is nothing about that picture that remotely suggests photoshop, and certainly none of the telltale signs of photoshopping are in the image. You'll look like an idiot trying to act like you've observantly picked up on cues that aren't there.
