A photo opportunity?
The wife and I put the top down and cruised over to Starbucks for coffee this morning. We were sitting outside drinking our coffee and I looked and this guy is taking pictures of his wife standing by my car. I was a little surprised but took it as a compliment. Anyone else experienced this?

Have had it happen at car shows, but not while I'm out around town.

I did have that happen shortly after purchase. I was going to jam at this place with a musician acquaintance and as I'm walking away from the car, this guy and his gal ask if I'd take pics of them by my car with their camera. It was pretty fun and they loved the car. I opened it up so she could sit in it while he took pics. They bought me a drink when they finally came inside. It was pretty cool....especially since I had just bought it.

While at my sons college graduation I had just parked the car and was walking away and one of the young ladies that was graduating also was having her parents take pics of her standing next to my car. She said this was the kind of car she wanted so I opened it up and rolled down the window so she could sit in it and let her parents take some more pics. She was so excited and it made me feel pretty good also.

I was on a local club cruise with a caravan of 10+ Corvettes. We stopped at a light and I was about 5 cars back. An SUV pulls up next to me and a hawt mid 40s cougar asks me if I want a "co-pilot".
...Yep, I did think about it! She then took a picture with her iPhone.

I guess I'm showing my age. My wife reminded me that when we stopped at an overlook on West Mountain in Hot Springs a young lady ask if she could get her picture next to the car. I didn't find that as odd as someone snapping pics in Starbucks parking lot though. Maybe it was because it was an older couple, guessing late 50s, at Starbucks.
