There is a pair of brothers in ontario that scam people from the states selling fake cars. One lives in the states one lives here and they go back and forth.

I agree with the glass thing . . . no way in heck.

Try enlarging the photo . . . comes out grainy. A hint of texture to hide the lines???? Super good try though!!!

The pics are almost identical except..check out the steering wheel and the turn signal. hmmm I (almost, like 99%) know this would not have been done in Photoshop. The steering wheel is turned very slightly.

One other thing that is similar is the spot of sunshine about the size of a quarter on the console. Looks to me that they are of the same car, just taken a few min apart.

On one you can just see the point of light on the console and the BJ shows it much bigger. One was taken perhaps 5 min later than the other.

Yes the pics are different....especially the main view of the car as they're from a slightly different angle....look at the space between the mirror and top of w'shld etc. . But although too much for photoshop, the coincidences seems uncanny? . Could the BJ seller have taken a buncha' pics and this guy used some of them and the grainy ones on purpose? . The whole thing feels like a Columbo episode or something?? ~ Pete

The clock shows the same time in both pics. Same car IMO.

Could be the battery was unhooked or the clock just doesn't work.

I would say 2 different photos and the photographers height must be 5'8" in the first photo and 5'9" in the second as the amount of the turn signal flasher visible under the dash is different by approximately 1/2 inch. And based upon the shadow pattern and the angle of inclination of the celestial orb (the sun) one photo was taken at 1:15 PM and the other at about 2:00 PM in late May or early June.

Gee, all those college level astronomy and geometry classes finally paid off.

It would'nt surprize me if some scammer went down to BJ to get his yearly suppy of pictures for his eventual scams. What better place to be.
