It's amusing...

I like the beercan exhaust on the detect a fake page... (not sure it's amusing enough to buy the video though...)


I'm curious what kind of car that actually is on the front page - certainly never seen it before.

Yes, I've seen it on network TV. It's funny, but - WOW - whoever is doing it must have deep pockets just to sell a not all that funny $20 tape.

That would be a severely modified (or Photoshopped) Buick Riviera from the early 70s. Here's a link:

I can't say if the mods improved or not .... :-p

Not that one, the tiny little blue golf cart thingy right on the front page of the site. Some kind of electric, maybe?

-- Mike Smith

Hmm ... apparently they rotate the pictures shown on the front page, because the Riv is no longer front-and-center. I don't see anything on the front page now that resembles a golf car ...

I dunno, but I've gone to that site

about half a dozen times now just to be sure, and every time, the car on the front page has been this tiny little toy-looking blue micro-jeep looking thing with a white roof, and the word "COUNTERFEIT" splashed across it in red.

And I went back there to look and it's back to the Riv picture again! But I did click on their "Confiscated Counterfeits" link and I see what you're talking about. No idea. Doesn't look like any American car I ever saw. It reminds me a little of an old German Ford Taunus, but only in the grille area. I wonder if anyone else has any ideas?
