Hi Larry,

Yup, it's for real! I was driving and had my wife take the photo. I alternated between "I can't believe anyone would make such a contraption", to "What was the reasoning", to....laughing.

What I ultimately came to...whatever floats your boat...er, car.

Looks like a rollback bed or ramp.

WD might actually help that one.
