Weirdest car photo on a selling website?
Discussion
Not too different are the crowd-sourced nominees to "Best of Craig's List".
For example:
"Beautiful Italian Paperweight!"
"I'm just an average dude that always wanted a Maserati. Since I was a kid I lusted after those Italian curves and exhaust note. Now my own kids come to me and ask me why there's no food to eat and the electricity has been turned off and I have to tell them it's because Daddy's car is sick again."

The exact one I was going to post. Was pricing up what GTIs were going for over here and spotted that gem. 
Theres a dealer on autotrader that every car for sale the first photo has a grumpy looking staffie type dog sitting in front of the car. Every other photo is so hellish in terms of angles and lighting it's like the dealer has just discovered a camera and is the first stages of learning how to use it.
It doesn't really send off a good message, but I think they're called BARGAIN MOTAS or some such, so I guess it does what it says on the tin.

Great idea for a thread.
These photos are almost industry standard on detailing forums, but to everyone else it just looks weird. Like the watch people who have staged photos with other very expensive objects conspicuously in the background

OK. Back, lost over an hour there. But my god it was worth it. I present to you....kerswatchPH will censor it, you can guess the word.
Similar theme to the Hartley pic at the top of the page:
Any of the big dealer groups that (badly) Photoshop images of their cars onto different backgrounds in a failed attempt to provide an upmarket / posh setting to promote the car & try (well fail) to hide the reality of the dire / boring location of where the car / dealer is actually located
Examples normally feature:
- The car is always well out of scale compared to the luxurious building, golf course, country club, forest, etc, it has been superimposed into
- If it was parked in the way it was, with a real background & not the fake one, it would actually be parked halfway through a wall, hedge, etc.
- Whoever did the image crop, forgot to edit out the tarmac in the photo around the wheels of the car that indicate the car is in fact parked in a disabled bay, or no parking zone, not the posh, country club estate featured in the background
A few examples from a couple of the prolific dealer groups on eBay
