...oh, wait.... I spoke (wrote) TOO SOON! (Serves me right, I suppose. Then again, as a proper [or occasionally improper... but let's not dwell on that] card-carrying Hoglodyte, I, too, have become conditioned to not actually read the stuff that anybody writes. (Something I learned early on when confronted: answer only: I'm ONLY here to look at the pictures!)
So... golf-clap to CanonShot for having shown us all the gentlemanly (or gentlewomanly, or gentlepersonly, whatever) way out of this conundrum!
But if the two of you do prefer to perform that test of quick-draw-itude, could/would one or the other of you --or anybody else who might read this [HAH! AS IF!]-- please opine on which lens I might bring to record the carnage?
p.s.: Bonnie & Clyde? Who're they? EVERYBODY knows this this relic belonged to Butch & Etta!

Use whatever lens works for you. Mine works fine for me. Wanna learn about Bonnie & Clyde? Their car was all shot up...with them in it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_and_Clyde
So, I typed that URL into my computer machine, Barre --and thanks for that!!!-- and.... Oh. My. Heck! All this time, all these years, I was under the impression that Arthur Penn's 1967 love story about some nice people who looked
just like Faye Dunaway and Warren Beaty was nothing more than a Hollywood chick-flick!
Then I remembered that I'd tried to watch a couple of Bonnie & Clyde's 'How To Rob A Bank' YouTube videos, but found I couldn't really get into them. Not that tommy guns aren't nice or anything like that, and I suppose they are, but instead because, at heart, I'm more a landmine sorta guy. And besides, who in their right mind would want to rob a bank when there's plenty of juicy stagecoaches still rolling around loaded down with gold? With a tommy gun, you gotta be there; with a landmine, it's just set it, forget it, and go pick up the ingots at your convenience.
Nice find Jim. Complete with bullet holes!

A little more wide angle on anything here would've forced me to include elements I didn't want to include. I mean, really! How out of place would the Eiffel Tower, a jetport, and a Gucci Outlet Store look within the context of what DID get included here? And "desolation"??? Crikey, none of these show "desolation". You want "desolation", I can show you some desolation! Utah's full of it. (Desolation, I mean.)
But if you wanna edit something, have at it. (Can we haz generative fill, pleze?)

Sorry no regenerative fill. I just used two of your photos. 1 cropped for the background and the other for the car. I did notice there was a house in the distance when I cropped, meaning there are plenty of stuffs around the subject to clutter it when shot wide.
Anyways, I did manage to make the scene look like a wide shot by cropping it.

Uh oh! You've done it now!!

Nothing to be sorry about, Wallen. What you constructed is rather a decent fiction. Mary Shelley, Boris Karloff, Gene Wilder and the torch & pitchfork wielding villagers would all likely approve. Heck, I'd bet that Igor
--that's EYE-gore, doctor!-- might like it, too.
Best thing about your Frankenpic creation is that --to quote the good doctor--
it's alive! ... IT'S ALIIIIVVVVE!!! And, of course, that the body parts were fresh and the brain was less diseased. Could've used a stormier sky, though, and a lot more lightning, but that's just my
literary humble opinion.
It has a sun roof, nice added option! Nice photos.
