interesting, it almost looks surreal. It looks like he's fixing one of those battle robots =]
First of all, Greg I dislike you. I aimed to be the first one to make a comment and you have stolen my thunder. Thank you very much!!! Any ways this I do beleive is a picture of a real life DELORIAN.P ossibly K ept from the public in this guys garage, so only he can go back to the future, and get himself a nicer garage.
This is a trippy picture to find. The way that everything blurs but the man and his car(by the way it's obviously a car you idiot). The floor around the hammer stained with dry blood. Just staring at this picture makes me feel uneasy. If everyone who see's this picture dies, i'll know why. You've been warned. A M C
I hope your not calling me an idiot! Greg is an idiot on the other hand , i have no idea how he figures that looks like a robot.
hmm, i don't think that greg is an idiot at all. even though it is clearly a car, it does resemble one of those battle robots. i had a friend who was quite obsessed with them at one point, i am by no means interested in them, but just thought i'd try to defend a fellow canadian :]
this picture is rather creepy. here's to hoping that i'm not the one who'll die from looking at that picture.
Looks like a Transformer that got caught in an intergalactic blender...
They should have saved this find for Halloween. It IS creepy looking! How is it that the guy and the car are in perfect focus, yet the background looks like it was moving. And the lighting casts an eerie glow too. Scooby Doo where are you?
My first thought is that a tow truck pulled the whole front end off this car.
Three words: "Pimp My Ride"
It's a psychological test:
Is he slowly fixing the car, or slowly destroying the car?
It looks like he is hooking up something like jumper cables, but to the frame of the car instead of the battery! Dangerous!
"Well, look, we need a hobby to keep Uncle Steve occupied and out of trouble - how 'bout if we let him think he is fixing the ol' junker in the garage?"
Seriously, if anyone knows anything about cars, I would like to know if the front of the car is that short, or if it has been chopped off, or if what he is doing makes sense.
Might make a good Anti-Smoking AD, but Do we initiate a recall?
It looks like one of those "ghost" photos that people send in to the Coast to Coast website, asking if you can see the demon face. :) Um, I think I can, actually...it's behind him with its mouth open! Uncle Steve, WATCH OUT!
yeah, Terminator was the first thing I thought of when I saw this picture. A horrible future-world that is ruled by mad cyborgs, opressing humans. Then I saw it was just Canada.
Party Pants:
My first thought was Delorian also!
(However, I do think that not knowing the difference between your/you're makes you look like an idiot.)
Marie, he's adding/repairing, not destroying. The 'jumper cable' is part of the arc-welder. If he were destroying, he'd be using an acetylene torch, and he would've taking off the tires first. Or at least I would have. Molten metal and tires don't mix. Although from the looks of his workshop, he doesn't think things through completely. Hard to tell, but I think he's about to weld on a frame to hold the (missing) radiator.
Meow, if the only error you found was your/you're, then I wouldn't be giving grammar lessons.
Marie in C-ville, looks like he's getting ready to weld (hence the welder's helmet)so what looks like a jumper cable is really a ground lead. That's why he's not hooking it up to a battery...he's not jumping anything off, just welding. What appears to be a C clamp to the left of his hand is probably being used to help hold whatever he's welding in place. And it looks short because the outter shell of the car (the parts you're used to seeing) have been removed, and it appears the radiator is also missing at this point.
Junkyard Wars gone bad.
That's all I've got for this. Retreating to my snit.
yay for the cdn find. I don't have anything else, tho. Kinda wish it was more exciting.
oh well. Whitby is like that. Not too much going on. 'cept guys fixin' cars.
omg...this man is an evil genius! dotn mess with him... he may do the same to you *evil grin*
Yes! I love the colors, I love how busy it is, I love this find.
Good comment, singing! It does have a ghostly double exposure quality to it. What is that big white box over his head?
This idiot obviously has no idea where the Flux Capacitor goes.
1.21 gigawatts!!!!!
Alai: I hope your pleasures were of the diversity in the color wheel in the most extreme radience.
WTF!
This looks like our production of Wagner's Siegfried at the Royal Opera House (and I thought I was getting a day off!). Siegfried forges a sword amid the wreckage of a crashed aeroplane (no, I don't know why either). Very messy set, looks just like this.
Jonathan, you're right. Its the Whitby Opera House's production of Siegried. They perform at the Cocky Jockey (whitby/oshawaites, you know of what i speak)....
I hate photo finds.
That's blood and he is welding up the body parts, never to be found.
The guy reminds me of a high school boyfriend - wore flannel, knew his way around cars, always liked to wear a helmet...
Sean: Sure. Whatever you said.
How can you hate photo finds, bored?
Looks like my gynecologist's office.
acid worker
Plastic: your life is terrifying! What does your dentist's office look like??
Actually the first thing I thought when I saw this photo was "Dragons!" I know it's obviously a car, but semi trucks remind me of dragons, too. (My life is still not as scary as Plastic's.)
Plastic, was this after you opened your legs?
On a good day, yup.
Plastic, Pepper and Mona, don't make me follow through with my plan of phychoness. It would look something like this.
Wrecks, LOL!
ahhhhhhhh , in trus Canadian fashion , our man in the scene holds a brewski as he contemplates his next move ,
brewski is a beer........EH
Wrecks, bring on the phychoness. I just picked up a whole jug of algicide.
You know i thought Delorean too but Delorean had the engine in the rear.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Lorean_DMC-12
Then i thought maybe it could still be (espcially with the engine compartment beeing so short) but it doesnt have the slated looking rear window. It could be a rear engine vehicle but I doubt it is a delorean.
I don't really know cars or anything though.
Blaine, I think he's actually holding another clamp or vise grip that he's about to put on the frame before welding... but I could be mistaken.
Ahhhh! Nothing like a good project car to wipe out any and all free time and extra money.
This is too weird for me... I am having some kind of Back To the Future "episode."
This past weekend I was called McFly due some intermitent stupidity on my part, then, as I passed through the extremely small town of Madison, NC, I saw a clock tower and thought of BTTF, and then, extremely creepy to me, I saw a Delorean, parked beneath the clock tower. Now, with today's find and comments, I think I will have to go rent and watch BTTF. There must be some message for me there.
xxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxx.
Is it only me or did no one think on first glance that the man was a freakishly huge rat - the tilt of the welding helmet and the "tail" on the floor. I honestly thought it was a rat mechanic! Oh God, stopping smoking is doing strange things to my brain ...
he's putting a new core support on the car. notice how what he's welding to is all shiny and black? yeah. it's new. the car likely suffered some front end damage. the bumper is off, as well as the fenders and hood, that's why the car is so short. also, the radiator is indeed missing- the part he is replacing is what holds it in place.
rest assured, there is nothing out of the ordinary going on in this picture. standard operating procedure. a common fix for a common problem with a readily available part.
the thing in his left hand is indeed a c-clamp vise grip.
sorry to rain on everyone's parade, but fear not- this man will enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done. fixing cars is awesome!
No raining here, Lucas. We all know (or anybody who has been in third grade science) that clouds are made of water vapor but we still say "That one looks like a bear" or perhaps "AAAAHHHH ALIEN SPACESHIPS ARE COMING!!" We can still look at it and imagine, right? I was thinking of an ultra-modern torture chamber.
Well, THERE'S your problem right there, ma'am.
/R
Cabbage Tree, I see it!!! I see it!!! He looks like a rat! How funny! I would have never have seen it with out you! thanks
We are the Borg.
You will be assimilated.
Resistance is futile.
Lucas, I'm so relieved. I always appreciate the confidence of a good Body man.

It kind of looks like the car got naked and put on that black leather-like bondage mask so this guy in a welder's mask can hook up those electrical clamps to it's nipples.
HAHAHA Puckhog! It looks exactly like that, now that you mention it.
Heart is that you ?!
There's a giant rat in the Siegfried production too. And a big rotating white slab thing in the sky. And the ghostly figure is obviously Wotan the Wanderer, watching everything unseen.
Weirder and weirder.
Brunnhilde doesn't wear black leather bondage gear though.
wheres Doc when you need him? McFly is always screwing up the time machine!
righteous picture, nonetheless!
it's hard to take a delorean apart and weld it back together by hand.
think mcfly! think!
Reminds me of my dad. He drives an 18 wheeler.
this picture is not as old as it looks. by the looks of it, it looks to be a modern car by the wheels and the core support. being the engine bay being as short and cramped and stature of the vehicle, it looks to be a van. could be wrong but it looks like a chrysler. also they do not use arch welders on vehicles, they use mig welders. in order to weld on a vehicle the battery must be disconnected. also the clamps/deep throat vice grips are there to hold the core support on while he welds it.
also the front suspension is a modern strut and it looks as if the exhaust manifold is showing from the front, possibly a 4cylinder front wheel drive vehicle...?
