Default HB principles are applicable to anything.

I found this image on the internet and I couldn't help but use some HB reasoning.

Obviously this picture is not what it purports to be. This Viper has anywhere between 400 and 500 horsepower. According to the laws of physics, (to be said pseudo-intellectually) with that much horsepower as it was being parked, this Viper should have broken the barrier behind it or even plowed through it and gone over. Yet, it did not even make concact with the wall. There is definitely something fishy going on. I'm convinced it is a hoax. :wink:

Common sense says, that it is impossible to get 400 or 500 horses into this small car.
And, of course, the sky is doctored.

Obviously. The sky in the image is bright white, yet in the reflection on the side of the car the sky is blue (a telltale sign of a whistleblower.)

There must also be some extra track lighting involved. Supposedly the sun is the only source of light. The Viper is in the shade, so common sense would also say that the Viper should be in pitch black since the sun is not shining on it.

The shadows aren't parrallel, and neither are the reflections on the floor.

Also, the shadows are washed out, which mean more studio lights....

There is an obvious problem…Look at the larger “vehicles” in the left background….Design is so radically different from the so-called American/Earth “Viper” craft. The Viper is open-cockpitted, sleek, designed for obvious speed….The rear-ground objects couldn’t be more dis-similar – boxy, large, brutal and slow. Cargo haulers for secret base building? Either these brutes represent a vast Soviet-American Conspiracy….or….THEY ARE NOT OF THIS PLANET!

“What?” You ask.

Face it. The inevitable conclusion is obvious…to ignore this FACT is to succumb to mush-brained, sheep-flock, believe any-old-lie THEY tell you ‘ville! These craft represent such radically different design ethoseses, they CANNOT BE OF THE SAME ORIGIN!!!

The FACTS speaks for themselves!

In the lower left hand corner, there is clearly an upside down question mark. This is obviously placed there by a whistle blower, who wants us to question the validity of the picture.

And on the car itself is clearly written "Viper" -- obviously a marking from the props department.

Each wheel is bolted to the car with six screws. This means, it cannot rotate.

And the car's open top clearly doesn't provide sufficient protection from solar radiation.

FACT: Rumor has it, it would be impossible for the driver to move from the horizontal posture assistant to the flattened-rectangular forward engine space, because the instrument panel would block the way.
FACT: The engine could not fit in the provided space. In 2004, it is still impossible to create a 400-hp car engine.

FACT : 500 HORSEPOWER coming out of the exhaust would have blown away the fence behind the Viper.

FACT : There is a structure seen in the reflection on the side of the Viper. This MUST BE the artificial lighting tower.

FACT : There are NO TYRE TRACKS leading up to (or away from) the wheels. Obviously the Viper has been craned into position. All that horsepower would DEFINITELY have left HEAVY TYREMARKS.

FACT : Join up all the dots on the floor "features" and you could read "This Viper is fake" in upside down mirror writing. OBVIOUSLY a whistleblower at work.

FACT : The seats are the WRONG COLOUR SHADE from the ORIGINAL SPECIFICATION. Anither whistleblower at work.

FACT : There are NO RETICULE marks on the photo.

All these facts can lead to just one conclusion......

I am an expert on cars and I have a Ph.D. (ok its in chemistry and my expertise comes from having driven cars, but shush). I have confidential information from insiders in the car industry, who worked for Ford for many years, and Ford has never made a car called the Viper!

I heard from someone I bought a dog off, who had a friend who was married to the sister of one of the Ford Factory assembly workers, that they did make them, but NEVER IN THAT SHADE OF BLACK!

Upon just looking at the design of this vehicle, one can see immediately see that it is very unstable and would flip over and crash at the slightest turn. To think this vehicle was driven to its current location is absurd.

That's not a Viper. Anybody who knows anything knows that this is a Viper:

Fact: Automobiles have tires that are the same size.

Fact: Obviously the pictured "automobile" has 2 different sized tires.

Conclusion: This "automobile" is a hoax.

Note the forms along the top of the rectangular spire to the right…A language from the EONS? Yes...Obviously designed by intelligent beings. If one were to take an optically in-hanced, 3D vector-ized image, printed out of phase onto semitransparent apoxy resin and placed upon a light table and magnifed it to 300X, one would see obvious signs of…of not *just* intelligence, not just AILEN intelligence, but alien intelligence trying desperately to reach beyond their bounds, to communicate, perhaps, with a Neighbor in twilight’s abyss. During an UPHEAVAL on their HOME PLANET, perhaps?

Communicate with us....?

Notice that the driver of the car is not pictured. In fact, he has never given interviews about this picture. I've heard he's had mental problems due to the stress he's endured, having taken part in the Viper-in-a-Picture Hoax.

I thought these were vipers, they don't look at all like that vehicle


or maybe these

Again, don't look anything like that vehicle. Plus this is a model, so obviously there are no real Vipers, just little models.

Final proof, here is one of those Viper models, proving that it's all fake
