How is something like this road legal? Is there no regulatory body to control things like this? Can people just slap a motor on wheels and drive it on public roads in the US?

    Pretty sure this is photoshopped. There isn’t a Prius that has an uneven window like that middle one.

    The Prius limo gets around.

    Also, the Prius in your photo is the body style that came after this body style.

    And when you have a welder and metal fabrication tools, you can make any weird shit you want. Including that step-up window.

    What you're mentioning is actually the very thing that makes this photo credible.

    Notice how in the original Prius the bottom window line is sloping downward, it's not parallel to the ground.

    To squeeze a door between the other two and not break the design by leading the line in an odd angle, they had to introduce that ramp in the middle.

    No, it's almost certainly not legal. However it's plausible that he just registers it as one of the 2 destroyed cars. It's still "a prius" and could probably slide under the radar.

    There are companies that do this legally for limmos. I don't know how easy it is for "some guy with some tools" to do it legally.
