Spotted VR RX-8 in river
A friend up in Portland sent me this. I'm told it looked brand new with the exception of being in the middle of a river more than half a mile from any roadside. They decided to make the best of the situation and do some tricks on it I guess. Anyone know the story?

... I don't want to believe that's real. I'd have to see the surroundings, but how the hell could it end up there? Washed away in a flood? Wouldn't water moving that quickly move the car as well? Not saying it's a fake, but there's just so many questions about that situation lol...
Edit: Just to clarify... did you friend come across that picture, or did they take the picture and send it to you?

The shadow of the one on top and the reflection of the surroundings on the car....if photoshopped it's done super duper.

It's chopped. The car is dry. Look at the passenger window. It's a total smudge tool mess. There is no hint of the interior or passenger side mirror for that matter. The water between the paddle and the taillights is pretty odd as well. It's a well done chop, but it's a chop none the less.

Its kinda hard to believe the top and sides wouldn't have any beads of water on it being that they are playing all over the car. Im pretty handy in PS and this would be a tough pic to do. Funny pic anyway

Anytime someone posts a pic. everyone jumps to Photoshop. Not always the case. This is defiantly real. Blow the picture up and look at the pixels. the spot behind the door is the reflection of the red ore above it, not a a smudge tool.
Some dumb *** probably pulled to close to an embankment and got sucked in. **** happens, people do some stupid **** in OR its full of hippies!

To be honest, I questioned whether or not this was real when I got it as well. My friend said that his friends just found it and took pics while they were messing around. I don't have any reason to think they or he forged it.
