“How’d they get it up there?”

The first question that popped into my head.

“How much damage did they do to the car?”

The second question that popped into my head, but then I noticed that the snowmobile is worth a lot more than the car.

Very reasonable questions. I suspect this article is fake.

Just one 175 lb person walking on top of that car would cave in the roof. I’m guessing the snowmobile weighs 400 - 500 lbs which would likely cause enough damage to jam the doors shut, especially after going over a bump.

It’s very poorly tied down. To stay up there it would need lashing fore and aft as well as the sides. It appears it’s only tied down on the right side.

Daylight is visible under the track, the cleats should have compressed and/or the caving in of the roof should make zero visible daylight.

The skis are downward angled which would cause the machine to want to slide off to the left, especially during a right hand turn with no lashing to prevent it.

It’s a fake.
