Can this be for REAL?

If you read the signs you will understand my title.

Do you get your car serviced first, then have an accident, then the funeral - or
do you get buried and then they fix the damaged car - or
do they do funerals for the "dead" cars???

I saw this in a seedier part of Vancouver on a dark day. I prefer the photo in black and white, but I had to show the OPEN sign in RED (don't have a program where I can do that).

This picture says a lot about what
power lies in framing a shot as it can and
often does tell a story -- as evidenced here.

cheers, mick

I understand what your title wants to say, however, I'am still very confused. But to find this motive and thus take photos, is first-class. Greetings Günter

Das ist ja interessant - in Kanada scheint es auch Abwrackprämien für die Entsorgung der Fahrer selbst zu geben. Dieses Bild bitte unbedingt vor den deutschen Politikern verstecken!!!

You don't see anybody - but everything's open, so you can either buy a second hand car or get buried - whichever you prefer....

It seems Poon's garage has not much to do. Maybe he's off to a funeral......
Very well spotted, Adele !

like the beginning of a good crime story or movie!!! love the detail of the white towel or rag that's hanging over the fence: adds a busy air to the scene, which makes it even more strange and eerie because you can't help wondering what kind of job they've just performed… hugs, sabine.
