Default Were we scammed by DVC?

This non paying member put out a ? on what to ask for his 944. Looked really great in pics. Funny thing, I just happened to be looking at Paragons clears lens kits and saw his (what we thought was his car) in the ad photo.

Check out his 4th photo and compare to PP ad for clear lenses.

Here's PP ad

I wouldnt be surprised that paragon used a picture of his car since he was probably one of their first buyers of their lenses. He probably gave them the picture.

Yeah, I remember seeing those pics atleast a couple of years ago. I was thinking Paragon used his picture. His car is why I painted my taillights all red, looks amazing.

I beg to differ with you Mr Techno. Pictures that are not your car in your "somewhat of a feeler" for a for sale ad is not cool. If it is his car, then I was wrong. However, if these pictures are several years old, I would like to be told that in advance. Scammed is probably a bit harsh, dooped maybe works better.

It's his car. Most of us that have been around awhile are familiar with him and his car.

My car has been used in two magazine ads and on two online vendor sites. Wanna ask about and see if I am scamming anyone?

I think the "scam" part is the implicit offer to sell the car.

He can't say "Car for sale" but "how much is my car worth" is acceptable and says the same thing. With 5 beauty pictures, no less.
