not 2 cars1. several other black car in the adjacent lot show curves by the bending of the sunlight and show light spots where light relects off the surface. The black object in question shows NO light reflection.2. Why are these two cars parked in this direction (angular) outside of a lot with many open spaces?
By the way, if you look at Google Local in "satellite" mode - you can clearly see the white car's ground-level shadow (even though you can't zoom in as close).Here's a link: Google Local shot of "flying car"
obviously its another car there ... the angle the pictures taken make the black car look like an anomaly :)) .... come on guys ... we cannot be so desperate to have unexplained mysteries

Well, given that there are 340,000 members of the Google Earth Forums (<a class="user" href="http://bbs.keyhole.com),">http://bbs.keyhole.com),</a> and untold (because Google hasn't announced numbers yet) tens of millions of Google Earth users, it's really not all that surprising that there are actually lots of dedicated Google Earth blogs and web sites.
