Reddit - Too Poor for a Slingshot?

when u to poor to buy a The Polaris Slingshot : Shitty_Car_Mods

When I saw it, I thought that must not have been cheap since the work appears to be done by someone who knew what he was doing.

Got a reply over on TDS asking how the thing moves. Caused me to think a little bit (painful ). I don't recognize the donor vehicle, but I had assumed it was a rear-wheel drive, yet most vehicles of that age/size are typically front-wheel drive units. makes me wonder if I fell for a Photoshopped pic?
Thanks to @MiM's post ina different thread, I checked the Smart Car and it may well be the donor vehicle and it's rear-wheel drive.
