That's why you always tried it out on your friend's record player, not your own. Same thing with hi-revving neutral drops on light duty transmissions. You always tested that bright idea out on your friend's car, not your own.

Trees usually do not grow uniformly over the years, and they naturally change shape over time. The two photos, one of the accident and one taken recently by FlyingGumby, appear to have been both taken within a short period of time from each other.

Many of the characteristic details of the shape of the trees in the two photos are almost identical as to how the branches hang in relation to each other, as well as their size and length and spacing. Even a slight wind could change the shape of the trees more than this, let along any significant difference in time.

Even though the angles of the photos are slightly different, the comparisons are pretty easy to see. (That new ghost hydrant needs a white sheet over it with two holes!)

Hmmmm, Randall's post is compelling.

Another tell would be the businesses in the shopping center. One photo is out of focus so it's hard to tell.

Wait a minute... if you sharpen that photo up with PS, you start to see some faces hidden in the pic. Here, see?

My older brother used my father"s station wagon. After that we all got our own cars I thought that was a good trick at the time. Now I see farm kids at tractor shows pulling unbelievable amounts of weight in their fathers 100,000 stock trucks,also will race them through mud bogs totally beating the hell out of them. wounder what"s going to happen to those boys when they get home.
