Hmmm. I like what the real estate agent has done, there, adding in a Mustang as an aspirational touch (even though I’m not sure how you hop it up over the plants to park it). But why aim so low? Mustangs are nice and all — although I’m more of a Pinto gal myself — but I think we could park something a little more exciting there. Here, let me assist you with my excellent Photoshop skills:
Now that’s a lifestyle I can hope for.

Loveliest comment, by Steven: Oh, Hi new neighbors! Yeah, I just moved here from Cape Canaveral. Oh, the shuttle? Yeah, it’s mine. 2011 model. It’s a hybrid! You know, just doing what I can for the environment. :3

I can do without the Mustang, but I get to keep the space shuttle, right?

I thought that looked like Baltimore. Go Baltimore! Also, yikes! I know this is Federal Hill (a nicer neighborhood), but seriously, $289K for a 2BR/1 bath rowhouse?
Compared to prices in Boston, it’s a baaahgihn. :-/
A Mustang is a respectable car to park on your front steps dangling over your garden, but a Mustang with flat tires? How bourgeois.
I do wonder if it would be more practical to station a mustang in the garden instead of a Mustang. What would that look like with your Excellent Photoshop Skills? http://www.tableandhome.com/prodimages/9051.jpg
Um. Um. OK, one of you guys who has some actual spacial perception, help me out here – this is my best guess.
Seller pasted in the Mustang to assure the prospective buyer that, if he simply tears out the tomato plants, miniature chain-link fence and other assorted foofoo shown, he will find that there is actually enough space to park a sport car on the property.
OK. So, spacial perception persons, please look past the Mustang and tell me whether you think there’s enough clearance in the alley behind it to allow a car to turn in there – without necessitating the removal of the *neighbors’* miniature fences, plants, and assorted foofoo… a.k.a. “starting a shootin’ war.”
No wonder they’re moving.
I think there is enough room if your fence is gone. You do it like this:
Car is moving from right to left on screen. Drive a little past your house. Back up, but into your neighbor across the alley’s driveway–the one with the red trash cans. Angle your car toward your house. Pull forward into your spot. To leave, do the reverse. No foofoos damaged.
I think that will work, unless (god forbid) your neighbors are using their own driveway themselves. Imagine, the nerve.
I think that the photo of the yard was taken with a wider-angle lens than the car, making the car look fatter at the back in comparison with the yard and alley at that point. Compare the perspective of the mustang with the car across the alley.
So, no, you couldn’t back that particular car out, because it’s from a different dimension, but a car you could actually drive could be backed out.
I lol’ed…”Spacial” perception.
[whispers]: Yeah – me too, when I finally saw it. ;D
I think it’ll only work if you’re driving either a SmartCar or a motor scooter (a motorcycle might be too big…..)
Hmm. I suspect you’re *all* correct.
But having once been neatly pinned into an actual parking-lot parking space by someone parking short in the opposite rank, I admit to being unnaturally twitchy about it. Surely it would be only a matter of time until the opposite neighbor did the deed after the Mustang was in for the night and then left on an extended vacation…
Does anyone else have the feeling all the plants on that back porch might also be photoshopped in? Cause they look kind of wonky AND they don’t appear on the photo taken from the alley… just sayin’ ☺
yep: basically weedy-looking stuff is on the actual ground, with almost nothing on the porch; they ‘shopped in decent looking plants on both the ground and the porch, plus some ‘shopped ivy growing up the porch rails & posts.
also, they photoshopped OUT a couple big pots of the weedy stuff on the left side when they added the Mustang.
Aspirational? Does it suck?
(Yeah I know that it also means what you meant, but I thought it was funny.)
“It is recommended that the buyer NOT rub the lamp in the attic. Previous owner wished for a Mustang, a tidy house, and all the powers of a genie. He is now the proud owner of the Mustang that cannot be driven off the property, and the house that is tidy because he is broke and must sell it. And he will be granting the three wishes of the next to rub the lamp.”
But is there enough room for the Millennium Falcon?
And will the neighbors mind if I have to put it up on blocks to do some minor repair work?
Oh, lord. I was reading the comments page and saw this, but thought it was about today’s bidet post…
the oddest part of this house for me is the fact it was built in 1900, and in 110 years no one has thought to finish off the basement?
maybe there is a reason that the backyard if full of pavers. after burying all the victims in the basement, the serial killer ran out of room and started to bury them in the backyard.

The car actually has turbo-thrusters in its flat tires, which allow it to fly straight up, over the fence, and into the froo-froo.
Amapola – I picked those as being an ‘artists rendition’ as well. They look too picture tubish. And the paint on the floor is way too even.
It’s been on the market a while, maybe they could look at doing an artists impression of the entire house with a specific buyer in mind. Or a few to catch more attention. Add a few cobwebs and coffins for the vampire fans…. photoshop the outside blue and strategically place a big friendly bear in each of the rooms for those with young kids… and what survivalist could go past a house rendered artistically in the style of a survival retreat complete with enough food to last at least a year?
Y’know, the Space Shuttles are actually for sale, so you really could buy one – but it’ll never fit in that space, no matter how good you are at Photoshop…
Hm….. It seems there is no escape for the poor Mustang, is there a PETA for cars? PETC?
The space shuttle program is no more
