Default Pics without the people?

Hey all - Awhile back it occurred to me that when we post pics af our cars the vast majority of them do not include a CL member (or even another human being for that matter) in or next to the car. Now why is that?

Is it:
a) because there's some forum rule that no humans are allowed in pics
b) a little anonymity is nice
c) because no one we know will take pics of us in our cars to post on CL because they think its silly.
d) something else altogether

A funny side note on (c). After I got my car I went out to take pics to post on CL and my wife asked what I was doing. When I explained she playfully responded, "You've got to be kidding. What do they need to see your car for, most of them already have one." I considered a playful response of my own, but decided it wasn't worth it. She just didn't get it. I got a good laugh out of it.

Happy holidays everyone!

I would guess B or C. Plus I would like to look at other people's nice cars, but probably wouldn't care to look at other guys.

Now if the owner is a hot chick, I'm all for it.

It's fun to see the different responses to this thread. There's no doubt we all come to this forum because of the cars, so pics of anything else just wouldn't cut it.
