What's actually strapped to the top of that little red compact is a replica of World War 2 V-1 'Buzz Bomb' (a sort of early cruise missile). Obviously no engine, though. Just a road flare or something stuck up the exhaust.
re: the girls pushing out cars.
i think these are maybe from a fetish site called 'car stuck girls' where girls get their car stuck, then push it out.
a friend told me about it......
thats how i know
The girls pushing out cars are from a German late night show on a sports channel (you can see the German license number on the first picture).
Rather stupid but nice girls :-D
The picture with the ladder in the car was taken in Houston.
Shocked! I am shocked that on such a blog, correct terminology is not used.
What you call "a horse/car hybrid" should be known as a "Bennett Buggy"

Haha, I was there @ Leiden after it happened.. quite funny. =P
Re: the dumpsters. My guess is that the car was there first, and the dumpsters were left there by an annoyed refuse hauler to indicate to the car's owner that his parking directly in front of the large dumpsters, where he needed to back in with his truck, was not appreciated.
In highschool, we pulled a prank similar to those cars between the trees. If it's a small enough car, and you have enough (strong :-) friends, it's easy enough to pick up the car and move it sideways.
another space saving parking :)

You forgot a classic Paris one : http://www.leblogauto.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/Joest_Jonathan_Ouaknine/Parking_paris.jpg
The fork stuck in the car is from Royal de Luxe visiting Iceland. There's quite a few more here... (including the knife through a bus, nails through the bonnet, and various other destruction)

the picture of the red jeep on top of the sports car looks like the jeep just wanted a hug and a new friend.
