Prius Limo???

Barcelona Red Lass · 08-14-2007, 06:56 PM

My son snapped this picture while driving near our house. Note the extra window and door! I think this may be a Limo Prius, but I didn't even know such things existed.

Looks to me like it was "enhanced with Adobe® Photoshop®"

I can tell because there is a seam in the front just behind the driver door. Nice try through.

That could just be the really sloppy welding job, huh?

Time to bring out this old chestnut:

No, not enhanced with photoshop. My son took the pic on his cellphone, and showed it to me when he got home because he knows what a normal prius looks like.

and I resent the implication that I "enhanced" the photo.

extended floor...

Got to agree. If you blow up the picture, you can see a very distinct line going straight up through the middle door's rear seam. The line cuts through the window, and (here's the real tell) the windshield wiper below the car has an obvious clip in it (where the parts don't quite join together). If you look above, you can see light coming through the tree which stops suddenly right along that same line.

Maybe your son is pulling a prank on Dad?

Lass,
You are right on the ball.
Here is the company who made it an the details:

http://www.worth1000.com/emailthis.asp?entry=153142

Creator Comments: The stretch SUV was costing too much in gas, so the limo company switched to a stretch Prius.

Please view full, I spent a heck of a lot of time on this. The Prius had to be built (there's no such thing as a stretch Prius), and the sports store needed to be completely reconstructed as the SUV blocked all of that.

Constructive comments appreciated, I'd love to improve!

That is even a worse photochop than the first one.
