The Custard Test
Discussion
A few people were asking in a thread which was deep-sixed while I was typing an explanation. The custard test is simply a test for you to prove you are who you say you are, or that you in fact, own the car you claim to. A way of sorting the real McCoy from the Snide. Let's say for example that you had participated in a documentary on trench warfare and were discussing it with a group of mature adults who doubted that you were in fact the private who appeared in the video. All you need to do is post a clear photo of yourself(let's just leave videos out of it for the moment) holding a tin of Bird's custard. A loaf of bread will suffice if custard is too difficult. That way we know you're Kosher.

It is generally useful however if someone has already claimed to be a specific person - ie, this is a photo/video of me. If it really is, they can prove they are the person behind the username.
Same goes for cars - tin of birds custard on the dashboard, taken through the windscreen. It's pretty easy to spot a doctored photo which has already been seen in undoctored form hundreds of times.
