This isn't funny. It's cool. It's a Chevrolet Chevron SS.

I created the first and probably only webcarstory-auto quartet based on information i collected from webcarstory.
There is Horsepower, Acceleration, Cylinders, engine displacement and first Model year.
Please dont ask me to create a copy for your own. As i dont have the rights for the pictures, i cant publish this.

As i was collecting pictures and videos for a "Funniest Moments on the Road" compilation on my dashcam channel, i found this picture on my disk again.
We captured this on our trip to Sweden and this was on the very first kilometers we drove on swedish ground.

If just a problem with car pictures, why not using Wikimedia's ones? Each file in Wikimedia can be re-used due to it's license (Creative Commons By or By/SA, public domain, WTFPL...) and can even be integrated into a commercial work.
It's almost the same thing with Filckr's pictures, when provided with a Creative Commons license. You just need to pay attention to a possible NC (Non Commercial) mention in the CC License, with Filckr's pictures, if you intend to sell your work.
Flickr also shows pictures labeled as "U.S. Government works", but I'm not sure you can freely use them outside the USA.

I see some road workers cutting the grass, I'm not sure what's funny or strange about that? Am I missing something?

I think it's because the arrows are pointed in opposite directions.

It's to slow down the traffic, you have to do an S-turn around them. They are always positioned like that.

From a distance i only saw the arrows facing opposite directions and it was also weird for itself because the speed limit was posted on the truck.
@eLMeR: That would be possible, yeah. But i couldn't recreate it the same way i did it like last time. Especially for the rare cars like Changan CX70 or Lamborghini Huracan Performante there are not so much free pictures online.
For the CX70: https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=Changan%20CX70
You see, they are all not for commercial use.

More weird than funny:
(Land Rover Destruction - James Tourtellotte, August 2013 - United States government work)
The caption indicates:
"Land Rover Defender destroyed for Customs violations upon entering the United States from the United Kingdom."
I assume that the mentioned Customs violation is related to the 1998+ regulations that made the Land a nonconforming vehicle and led Land Rover to stop the sales of the Defender...

That's what I meant: importing a Defender made between 1998 and 2016 is illegal in USA, as it doesn't match the 1998+ safety regulations

It's a bit similar in Germany and the EU. Cars, which doesn't pass the regulations about safety or environment, cannot get a registration.
It depends on the date of registration and the regulation, which were valid in Germany or the EU at that time, with the exception of the lighting. The rules for the lightning (clear non-sealed-beam-headlights, red taillights, turn signals, hazard-signal) go for all vehicles, also antiques.
The difference is, that cars, which fail hasn't neccessarily to be destroyed. You just cannot it use on public roads.
Sometimes you may get a special permission for a single registration, but this depends on the local TÜV and the local traffic authority. You cannot generalize that.
So all Citroen Mehari with a German registration do have such a single permission. This model never got an official general ABE (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betriebserlaubnis) due the inflammable body
Same with the Chinese Brilliance BS4, due the failed crash tests.
It's also impossible the get a registration for a South African Citi Golf or a late Brazilian made VW T2.
When the problem is not a missing catalysator or a failed crash test, but only the lighting, you may can get a single permission, when there is no chance to get EU-law-conform parts, for example no orange back indicators for an US-spec model, which was never sold here.
When there were EU-spec parts, no never get this special permission, for example for a re-imported newer Porsche.
No exceptions are possible with taillights. An acquaintance has brought an Australian Ford Falcon to Germany, a car, which was only built as RHD.
As there was no possibility to get headlights for right traffic, he had to bring the car back to England, where he has bought it.

They could re-sell these to movie producers for destruction
About cars not road-legal in some places, I remembered that the road version of the Lancia Stratos was not allowed in Belgium, but I just found a contradictory info that it was actually only legalized in Belgium, France, Germany and Italy.

Concerning that Land Rover : is there was a law where you can import it for display in cars shows or something like this ? not fun for the owner as he can't use it on the public roads but better than paying to see it been crushed

Oldest known VW Samba will be restored:
(Full article here)
Let's be optimistic and say that there will be "some work" to do on it
The Samba had been left to rot in a field in the Eifel mountain region, near the Nürburgring and 30 miles from Kalff’s premises in Bonn. ‘The field’s owner didn’t even know it was there,’ said Kalff. But when the field was sold, its new owner cut down the overgrown scrub, uncovered the vehicle’s remains, and wanted them removed – in Germany, storing wrecked cars in such locations is viewed as a crime against the environment.
