Default A cool thing happened today...

I was comming out of best buy today and there was a car full of kids I assume in HS. I noticed they were taking picture of my car from inside theirs. I could help but smile.

Anyone else have this happen to them. Sure is a good feeling

My car gets a lot of attention - but I have never seen someone take a picture of it!

Peace,
Jonny

Yea it does feel good. I love getting compliments on my car too. Makes me feel like I did something right. Getting thumbs ups from the domestic guys is always awarding to me too

It's very cool to have the car admired but I'd wanna know who was taking pics and what they're plans were for the pics. I hate to be paranoid but we live in the craziest of times. Someone could put out a hit on your ride....or something else that's crazy.

This is a good point, but I live in IA. Not to many hits being put on people.

Thats Ver Cool One Time I Ws At The Mall Just Steeping Out For One Second And This Guy Wanted To Know If He Could Pics Of My Car. Because I Guess His 11 Year Old Son Loves Cars And Wold Love To See A Car Like Mine. Every Time I Go Around Town People Always Ask M Qeustions About My Car. And Its Just A Great Feeling To Know That I Atleast Did Something Right For Once.

spoiledkid, what's up with the first capital letter of every word?

Phong, always nice to have other people in nice cars give you a thumb up and obnoxious morons and rev at you while you're just "cruisin"

I've had some people snap some pictures of my car...i don't see why though, nothing special...compared to all the super nice SC's on the forums nowadays...

it's funny how you guys love the attention...i hate it.

try rollling around in skylines, e55, cl500's...

especially in my friends skyline...we're casually driving then all of a sudden you see a blinding flash out of no where and you can't see where you're going.

I had received a complement from an old lady at a Discount Tire. She was 70 or so. Bling bling.

Interesting, that happened to me once also. I was looking for a parking spot and as a couple was walking toward their car, the guy happened to get out his phone and took some pics of me driving toward him. I believe he took pics of the front, side, and back because I saw him turn around to take more pics. It felt very weird considering the car was completely stock at the time.

i got compliments from 2 white guys in their 40's or so on separate occassions. They both had Benzos. One guy asked me what year my SC was and what size my wheels were. That's it.
