Strange Car Thread

Something to add to the random pic thread and the name that car thread - prototypes, customs, bad ideas, anything that looks just plain strange...

Wonder if the chauffeur has to wear gold chains and an unbuttoned shirt.

The limo has to be photoshopped...if you look closely, there's nowhere for the giant vanity mirror to fit into the side of the car...there's only the small opening for the door...

That's because it's the roof.

I don't think it was Photoshopped. I blew it up, threw a Spec Curve on it, I don't see any clone marks on it, the angles are correct, shadow is perfect also. Not saying its impossible, but it would have to be a pro retoucher working a HiRes file for 6-10 hours.

That one is photoshopped. You can see the blurry green leaves around the jet. So is the shopping cart. The guy is smaller that grandma.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the shopping cart on TV. The grandma is standing around the front wheel of the car (thing) so I think it makes sense that she looks bigger.

I'll accept that. Maybe it is the size of the cart. It makes the guy look smaller. He even seems to be to small for the car to his left. Maybe the news video will end up on the random video thread.
