I guess it's a good time to post this again. :grumpy:

I win.
 
I think that's a factory-made trailer, by a Viper accessory company. thus, not really a Modification...

I wish now that I'd gotten a picture of an RV that I'd seen on vacation, with matching Geo Metro attached...
 
Well, no, I guess not, but it does excuse it from being a Modification...I mean, I see Viper taillights and wheels, but no acutal Viper bodypanels used anywhere on it. Compare it closely to the RT/10 it's behind. even the rear bumper is oh-so slightly different.

There is the Hitch, which is a Mopar accessory anyhow...

WTF? Thats at Sepang......hmm....damn..... :drool: But still, its questionable.
By they way, why does all the trailer here looks like they have been photoshopped? Is it just me or i see them all being chopped by turbo lag? :confused:

Best so far, but why would anyone want to put a towbar on a Viper? :confused:

Because it has no boot, and a towbar makes it possible to hitch a trailer to it - a matching trailer to boot, with room for cargo.

And liker Vip3r said, there's plenty of torque to pull a trailer. Didn't someone see how fast a viper could tow a caravan once, and ended up with just the chassis left?

I'd bet it didn't have hello kiddie and that it had different rims then.

You'd be correct. I found the thread. It was made by Ryalex on FChat for another member. He used the original 512TR 5-spoke rims. The picture we see nowadays has changed the rims and removed his watermark.

Doesn't look like a photoshop to me. What do you see that makes you think it's a photoshop.

Tons of stuff:

1) The cars are identical, down to the license plate. It's clearly just parked in two positions and composited.

2) Clear evidence of artifact pixels around the front fenders of the 'trailer' where it was 'shopped in over the picture of the actual trailer.

3) No trailer could have a tongue that small and light that would be able to span the distance between the hitch and the back axle. Particularly NOT a trailer built out of a heavy steel car body instead of light aluminum or wood.

4) Even if the tongue shown was structurally capable of handling the load, having the axle that far aft would mean the tongue weight would far exceed the load capacity of a Passat wagon.

5) PARTICULARLY a Passat wagon that's been lowered within an inch of its life on lowering springs. Seen that Jetta with the pile of plywood on the roof? That's more like it.

Now, for my own little bit of questionable modification - Holy Mother of Bob:

Not for the weak of stomach.
 
I figured there was an even chance that somebody had already posted it.

That's a standard 512TR taken in Hong Kong (can tell byt the signs) and Photoshopped. Actually, as far as Hello Kitty themed cars go, I've seen worse here! Not on anything as sacreligious as a Ferrari though.

If it was in the UK, the plate on any trailer must be that of the vehicle towing it, its probably the same for other countries too. So that point is void, but your other points still make sense, i couldnt put my finger on why it looked photoshopped, to me it just did...
 
Okay, guys, this isn't "Questionable Photoshops." I might as well head onto Deviantart and pull out a bunch of drawings if we're doing that.
 
Just to set the record straight for those who swear it's a Photoshop. Cool!...but IMO still questionable.
