标题: Help, XDF-S12-T20 , "with..."状语 or 定语
20. In December of 1987 an automobile manufacturer
pleaded no contest to criminal charges of odometer
tampering and agreed to pay more than $16 million
in civil damages for cars that were test-driven with
their odometers disconnected

(D) having test-driven cars with their odometers
disconnected


In analyzing the structrue
"having test-driven cars with their odometers disconnected",

some one explains that  

"have" means "有"
and
"with ...." modifies "cars" as 定语.

But I think that
the structure is "having done sth with... "
and
"with ...." modifies "having done sth " as 状语

Looking forward to your discussion.
Thanks in advance.

我觉得是做定语,如果是状语的话最后的their是指manufacturer,不是指Car 了,而这从逻辑上讲不通.

mike 1999, thank you.

But
"their" can't be modify "manufacturer"since "their " is plural while "manufacturer" is singular.

and
"their" can only modify "cars" since both are plural nouns.

looking forward to discussion.

I think this explaination is strange and not convincible,i.e.,"别扭"

Can any one give a better explanation?

那就更错了.更进一步说明是做定语的.

肯定是作定语,不过这个句子真是奇怪, sb pay x for having y , 这里的 for是做表原因的介词吗?
