I would try adding white area all around the vehicle. Also, get rid of the tires so you can see the air flow under the car. If you increased the time step (dt) take it back down to around .01. It looks like you are seeing effects from the edges of the pictures, but I don't know why it would do that. Adding white area around it should get rid of that problem (if thats what it is)

The Reynolds number is fine.
