A friend of mine was exploring some woods with some friends one time and just happened to look up and saw a mitsubishi suv in a tree. In the middle of the woods. With no real way to drive one into the woods.

Must have been extra-terrestrial giant snails beamed it in there, eh?

Only possible explanation.

Why is that one "definitely" a PS job, but not the other?

I haven't ruled out the possibility of the first image being Photoshopped. However, you haven't ruled out the possibility of it being genuine, either. Quite a few people here have presented perfectly reasonable explanations, which you are outright refusing to entertain. If it's a Photoshop job, it's a dang good one, rivaling the work of folks I've worked with who have been professional graphic artists for years.

The image of the car up a tree looks like the tree and car came from images with different resolutions. To my eyes, the tree looks sharper than the car.

Because he said so.

I'd like to know if you have any experience working in Photoshop, Danno. Edited by Danny Lectro

It's impossible for a tiny sapling to lift a 2,000-3,000 pound vehicle into the air as it grows.

Now, I agree with you on that one. I can see a mostly grown tree holding up a car. I don't think a sapling could lift a car, even if the car had been stripped of ALL driveline, suspension and interior parts.

However, I can comfortably entertain the idea that I might be wrong.

Get much opportunity to work in Photoshop while you're in a squad car, Danno?

Wouldn't know, would you now, Danny?

Okay, I edited my post to not be so confrontational. It went too far. I also apologize for making unfounded assumptions.

So, do you have experience with Photoshop? I'd honestly like to know.

I'd also like to know if your "Because he said so" remark was based on an assumption I didn't have a legitimate reason for my judgement on whether something was Photoshopped.

For all of you people who actually believe these "cars in trees" photos are real, explain this to me:

How does a tiny sapling have the ability to lift a car up into the air as it grows?

It doesn't. Those cars were placed in trees that were already big enough to support their weight.

It's impossible for a tiny sapling to lift a 2,000-3,000 pound vehicle into the air as it grows. If you believe otherwise, fine. You're free to believe in anything you want to believe in.

The only way a car gets in a tree is if its lifted there. A tree under a car will not grow without sunlight. and water. The tree with the Falcon or Ranchero is a sycamore and I have seen branches break from vine growing in them. Not a strong tree ...
