I thought Jeeps humping 'Vettes was illegal.

I think it's real! You can see the trees in the background through the jeep windows and it would be difficult (not impossible) to duplicate the shadow/reflection of the jeep tire on the side of the vette. It also looks like the driver of the Vette was at fault since it is on the wrong side of the interstate. I always thought the C4s would make a good ramp!

Actually, now that I look at it again, it's definitely fake. Look at the Jeep's suspension; its completely flat. If it were really up at an angle like that, the rear right wheel wouldn't be that far away from the fender...

Actually...the Jeep is up in the air causing the right rear wheel to hang down so low. Look at the Jeeps reflection on the Vette...that would be hard to do even in Photoshop. I still think it is real.

Looks like my jeep on top of it. I hope my jeep doesn't decide it wants to mate with my vette.
