Found this yesterday during a two-hour trip in my car:
That's a real Renault 4 as an ornament somewhere in the middle of a desolated and dusty road. I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out how it was put there. Not that the answer is important, but found this very curious anyway. |

The other pics are from a different perspective, showing us some altitude for perspective, but this may be the deception. Rivers exist in the hills and mountains ans can flood like crazy under the right conditions. Hmmmm.....

Well, he did it, but it was a similar tiny car, with no engine, tranny, or seats inside.
Still reasonably impressive, I guess--it must have weighed at least his own body weight or more, and had no "easy" handle or weight distribution like a barbell. |

Let's put that car up on top of that big rock over there!"  |
