The jet in front of a house is indeed a Swedish Saab Gripen. And it's true they can operate from simple streets in the woods and elsewhere. But this picture, I think, is actually from within the fence of the Swedish Air Force base in Såtenäs, F7 (Flotilla number 7). A number of the staff lives inside the base, very near the taxiways. And the base is very picturesque. I've been there a couple of times, and as far as I can remember, this is what it looks like. They actually taxy from the bomb-proof shelters out to the runway through scenery like this.

The final picture is of heat exchangers, a common industrial vessel, not nuclear weapons.

The red Volkswagen? with a roof and a porch in the back is actually a sauna owned by a student group at Helsinki University of Technology.

Couple of pictures and some text in finnish:

the "box-car" seems to be shopped. at least the shadow of the car on the right side of it doesnt show any crates.
the fact that the shadow only shows the part infront of the trunk does keep the possibility that all the baskets are actually in and above the trunk without support of any other parts of the car.
but its still a good photomontage. =)

The bumper car is not lost, i saw this guy on dutch television a few weeks ago. He made it himself, and it's actually street legal, although it has a maximum speed of 45 km/h.

I don't think those dried mushrooms will be used for soup :)
(or it would be rather psychedelic soup)

The plastic crate shot is not 'shopped. Some may look squashed but its because they're either deformed by the position/weight or just short in height. I doubt most any of these are photoshopped, this kind of thing is common all over the world.

You can find out more about the red car with the building supplies at the Urban Legends site (it's listed as "true", incidentally.)

The car full of plastic crates is a bad PS work... I'm not sure about the cart with brooms and buckets.

the jet in front of the house is probably not parking ..

it is a swedish Gripen - and those jets are designed to operate from simple streets in the woods and elsewere ... that way no evil enemy can bomb the airbases - or at least he will not gain much from it ..
