Possibly, but there are still *four* wooden pallets on there .. that's heavy enough!
not at all. those pallets don't weigh much at all and i guarantee those boxes do not weigh anywhere near as much as all the plywood on the jetta.
Certainly not as heavy as all the plywood on the Jetta ... I didn't realize we were making comparisons here. I was thinking the pallets alone should have put some dent in the roof.

That car is overloaded. It looks like the tires are rubbing the fenders.

From the looks of the rest of the car, I dont think a few more dents would matter

I think it's a photochop. The shadow of the huge box on top of the car doesn't look large enough.

Look at the other shadows, the sun is obviously directly overhead
