Default pics at a stop light

I was waiting at a traffic light and the black Escalade next to me started to roll down its tinted windows and out came a couple of camera phones. I've read where others had this experience, but this was my first. Felt good and of course I waved.

That is pretty cool, but wait till you get the tourists with cameras (if there are any in Tennessee, not familiar with that state, sorry). I was driving in Hollywood the other day and pulled up in front of the Chinese theatre and had groups of tourist taking pictures with flash, I felt like a movie star. Even Batman and Elmo gave me thumbs up, Batman wanted to jump in it, must have thought it was his car.

Almost every morning around 06:00 AM, there is a group of fellows sitting outside a donut shop drinking coffee. I'm not exactly when it started, but when I pass by, we all wave to one another

The first few cruise nights I attended with my new AO vette I was surprised to see total strangers just walk up to the car and start snaping away.
I have to say I felt like a proud father.
I have sort of gotten used to it now.
