    Yeah, that doesn't even look real enough to be possible.

    I believe it, but it's not mine. I'm not zoned for that weather.

    I am not sure about photoshop or not.

    The pic just doesn't look right. If the tree rolled "away" from the MM, then it would be lifted like that. Don't know how the MM would get lifted with the tree rolling "toward" the MM. Seems that the front end would show some evidence of damage from being forced up the tree root ball. If would take alot of force to lift the front of the MM that high. Seems the MM would have been shoved backward rather than ride up the way the pic shows.

    On the other hand, the rear suspension compression does look about right for the angle the MM is sitting at.

    +1 for photoshop. I just can't see how it ended up in that position with the tree coming toward the car and nothing behind the MM to keep it from being pushed backward.

    On 2nd view .... maybe there is a wall or embankment behind the MM. Maybe it is possible that this is real. Still think that the front end should show some damage and maybe the rear too if it was held by the wall as it rode the tree.

    Defiantly a photoshop job...

    Why would someone park any car between a fence and tree & how would have they gotten it in that space??? With a fork lift??? Also a tree that large would have ripped a much larger hole and as mentioned the car shows no damage on the left front corner...

    I think its legit...it has reflections of the surrounding leaves on the quarter panel, as well as the shadowing underneath.

    Thats what I saw in the pic to. As for how the tree fell I can see that. Had a buddy get a huge elm blown down in his yard opposite way from house and was amazed what it did to his foundation. U dont down a MM that way so how is the rear squated like that?? I truly dont know But leaning towards legit

    Yup! And if you zoom into the lower front bumper, you can see wood and the coloring, pixelation is accurate. He just parked with the bumper to the tree not realizing the root structure went under the car and that the darn thing was going to fall. Lucky it didn't land on the car.

    Welp till a pict is posted with it being winched(or however)out of it's predicament, I ain't believing it...

    We had a storm through here about a month ago and all the trees I saw uprooted of comparable size, that could possibly lift a car, had 3-4x times more root structure...
