Complete classic!

 

Damn, that's great. Even better than yanking a Nigerian scammer's chain.

 

Nice. I didn't read the whole thread. What happened to the RSX kid?

 

Can we get Cliff's Notes please?

 

Man that's funny

 

Jerk runs into Merc.

Jerk backs up.

Bystander sees, grabs his camera.

Jerk pops a U and tries to run.

Bystander captures

 

some kids in an rsx crashed in the benz. another guy sees this, busts out his dslr and takes a bunch of pics in burst mode. he has pics of their license plates and also a pretty good one of the kid's face. rsx guys got away, but they'll be caught soon i'm sure. that's where the story's at. a few photochops, but only like 4 or 5.


edit: looks like kamui beat me to it!

 

Just to add to people's descriptions..

What really sets this story apart is the low low chance of the pictures finding the person who needed them.

Guy asks on an internet forum if anyone has seen a silver RSX with a busted front bumper because his car was hit earlier. Then this guy who just happened to have a camera with telephoto in his back seat gets pictures of the accident, and then happens to read the exact same forum posts them up!

The extremely low chance of this happening is what is so great.

 

haha, page 16 a guy says the story made the front page of the calgary sun today. has a picture of the cover, too.
