Big Jack

Nosing around to see what's available and found this. Very small trans or HUGE jack, eh? 

Is that an Amazon listing? They always do weird E36 M3 like that. They just take a picture of their product and throw some free stock images at it until they have a picture of their product in action. That transmission looks like it's been scaled down for some reason.

Actually, the link went to Walmart, but I imagine the image is a conglomerate used by many. Presumably, so people have a notion of what it is they're looking at. I just think it's proportionally comical.

Yep, also the most common way of producing action shots on AliExpress, where a lot of the stuff you buy on Amazon comes from...looks to me like they took a pic of the jack with the strap propped up and then photoshopped a transmission under it. Since the two objects were never in the same pic and the photoshopper wasn't a gearhead, relative scale was never considered.

There's a listing on Amazon that I think is hilarious. It's a sled. It's. just. a. sled. It's a cool sled, no doubt (it has a steering wheel attached to a skid on the front that allows you to drive it... I had this as a kid 35 years ago), but it's just. a. sled.

They have all these things you can do with it! Snow sledding, grass skating, sand skiing! All these... things you cannot actually do... with a sled. And then the pictures are all wrong. Hands in the wrong place, a 1/2 scale adult pulling the sled with full size kids on it... I can't find the listing that I loved so much from last year, but here's one with a good image.

And should you purchase one of these monsters, may I suggest tightening the stem nuts on casters. Unless, of course, that "variable caster" is a feature you're after.
