which shows what looks like an interstate at an 'Exit 78A', has been wracking
everyones' brains. Where exactly it is taken? The car has Pennsylvania 'FOP'
plates, but I have not been able to match the image with any specific location
in the northeast.

The closest match that I could find is I-79 just north of the PATurnpike (at
interchange 78), but the ramps, buildings and sun angle are not correct.

Any ideas?

The car ahead of the mercedes appears to possibly have NJ tags.
Notice the yellow at the top of the tag, slowly fading to a whitish
color. It also appears to have an orange registration sticker in the
upper right hand corner, which would indicate the correct placement of
such sticker on a Jersey tag at the time.

However, It couldn't have been taken in NJ for many reasons -
different guardrail style, lighting style, and the fact that there's
no Interchange 78 anywhere in NJ. The only possible route that could
even have one is the Garden State Parkway, and the closest
interchanges are exit 77 and exit 80. No other highway is long enough
in this state to have a Int. 78.

As I mentioned upthread, posters in the other forvm where I found this have concluded that this is an image of a British highway which was reversed and the picky details that make it look (on the surface) like a USA highway were then Photoshopped in.
