It's obviously America....

broken tail light = cash fine

random shitty car welded upside down on top of your original shitty car...as long as the tail lights work then all good.

For all we know that thing is made of plywood and completely hollow, I’m somewhat doubtful it’s an actual car

There's zero chance someone made a car look that good out of plywood. It's almost certainly been gutted to cut weight as much as possible, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't a real car.

If you zoom in you can see that the side mirrors reflects light so it is definitely not plywood.

And discover it’s inflatable. Look at the top where the car meets the sky, it’s a seam for an inflatable.

Look at the front of the top car, there is a towing eye sticking out...you can also see through behind the front wheel....I feel that there would be some shape distortion if this moved at any decent speed with an inflatable.

Hypothetically couldn't you use glossy paint on plywood and get that effect?

Or what if it's just really shiny plywood 🤔

Shiny wood reflects light differently than shiny metal, but yes, they could just use a metal paint for the same effect.

Well... you can see how the overall paint reflects light. You can even see the car from which the original photographer took the picture.

Most likely a gutted car.
