Do you take this car?

The man arranged the vehicles in the car lot where he worked so that they would spell out the important question and he then flew over the site on a romantic aerial trip with her. Despite her surprise, the woman accepted the offer. The cars have since been parked in a more conventional manner.

The image, shot in the German city of Mannheim, apparently showed a naked man climbing out of the boot (trunk) of a Mercedes. He was watched as he did so by a somewhat disinterested dog lying close at hand and surrounded by items presumably removed from the vehicle. Numerous comments were posted with regard to the image and speculation was r
