Wierd. It's actually a late-model VW Jetta wagon, probably a TDI diesel. A great way to wear out a nice vehicle quickly.

I would love to see the modifications to the roof structure to support the ball and safety chains.

RV.net told me so!Really though, I wonder why? The goosneck looks all aluminum as if it were spec'd just for hauling with that wagon, and I'd guess its hauling axle for a trailer builder. Maybe they have some sort of on-site restriction that restricts use of a truck, like a weight restriction inside the plant. If it is transporting for a builder, it may only be going a few blocks, if that. I sure hope that isn't going anywhere at highway speeds.

It may not be Photoshop per se, but I'd have to see it to believe it. :) Some kind of jiggery pokery. Occam's razor.

That might be because you assume that there would be artifacts. Look at work by people who know how to use PS. It'll blow you away.

Look closely, you can see a ball below the hitch on the roof! Photoshop for sure!

It's not a minivan. Its a Jetta wagon. I see no artifacts in the picture that would indicate it's been 'shopped.

Back to the 1970', saw many card with the goosneck and f/w on top of them. Being from Alabama it was wierd, but then some will not believe they were used back then. OK city and Edin when a torana and heavy rains flooded the area.

Amazing what you can do with Photoshop. :)

Is that your answer to everything Howard?

Can't believe your own eyes? Kind of funny though, my granddad once told me " Don't believe a thing you hear, and half of what you see"
Maybe we're related :B At any rate photo shop, which I use, is not worth the time it takes to spend that much time to impress some Bozos on a Internet Forum :W Check out the rest of OP's photobucket photos, clearly not altered, and sorry OP but rather simple cell phone photos.
And actually you can right click almost all images and find the file format, Photoshop extension's and camera setting are available if you dig deep.
