Default The new subaru sticks to the road... But how?



Saw this while looking for something else and wondered just how does it work?

Are they real cars or just models or something?

There's no reason why it can't be real.

Remove top deck with a crane.
Turn upside down.
Clamp 3 cars onto it minus engines and fluids.
Turn the deck over.
Place back on the transporter.
Put 3 cars on top of the deck using the crane
