   Drunk driver dodges barricades, speeds through work zone, hits a lighting structure, and "comes to rest with its front wheels not even touching the ground"... Too bad the reporter has never seen a tow truck in action

You know, it took me a few looks to see it, but just under the front of the car, you can see the tow bar/arm/whatever of a wrecker coming into view on the left. The truck itself is just off screen.

According to that, the correct form is "Its been five days now" because "It is been five days now" wouldn't make sense.

Yeah, I think subby is just being a sphincter... What IS holding it up anyway? I can't tell. I swear it looks like the windshield wipers...

Not-so-CSB: Once got fired for pointing that out to a supervisor. At a meeting where said supervisor was teaching a mandatory-appearance class on this.

"it's" can also stand for "it has".

Yeah, it's like magic...almost. If it weren't for that stupid tow bar coming from the left side of the picture and going straight to the front tires of the car anyway.

Nope... I see a shiny roadway, two things sticking down vertically from under the engine, and about 3-4 feet of open space. No tow truck blocking the view of the car in the background. Seriously, about 3-4 feet, roughly the same size in the image as the driver's door.

You honestly don't see the bar that is blocking the bottom part of the tire of the car in the background?


Come on people, actually look at the picture.

All right. So let's say it's a bar blocking the car. What is it connected to? Does it float behind the tow truck via a magnetic field or something? I see a blue line, but that is extremely thin and curved. As I stated, there is about 3 feet of open space in front of the car where the lift would connect to the truck.
Example

At 300% in PS, I'm seeing something rectangular at the base of the tire in the background, but that could be anything, since I don't see anything else tow-truckish in the image.

Off tpoic, but still related...I found THIS while searching for that tow truck image, it's pretty damn cool.

The blue line is a reflection of the blue light in the background off the top of the tow bar. The side profile of the bar is right below the line. It took me a little while to spot for some reason but now that I see it it's totally obvious.

Mikey seems to put so much time into this by now I'm starting to picture him standing in front of a poster at the mall yelling, "IT'S A SCHOONER!"

Yeah, it kind of camouflages as the shadow of the cop car until you really look closely.
