Default others taking pic of your car.....

I wonder does it happen to everyone...? This morning I decide to take one of the car that I rare drive(in fact first time in 2007) to work and some dude in a BMW slam the brake next to me IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC and took out his camara phone to take pic of me... I was like.....? and he follow behind me on the right lane for a good mile and stop in front of me on a train track and took a pic in the front give me a thumb up and drove off... I was driving a fairly stock car too there is nothing to see..... I wonder if anyone here had simlar experiance.....?

A group of girls having a bachelorette party asked me if they could take a pic with my Vette a few months ago

it depends on the car you drive and the environment you drive it in..
i have really mixed feelings about it. its a positive thing but is also usually negative as well.

I've had that happen a few times in one of my other cars. Nobody ever stopped in the middle of the road though. Just a passenger or someone else taking pics of video.

I only got few people gave me a thumb ups, and talked couple times.
Funny is, one time, a RX330 was revving besides my GS4 and did a rice take off, and the next light, he was talking to me that " see dude, my RX330 can run fast too, unmodified! " god, give me a break.

Not anymore. But when I had the GS 400 back in 2000, it was out of this world.
Everyone now has caught up. Its no longer just BMW, Benz and Lexus.

That or my *** needs a new car
