I was driving on the long island expressway today, This modified yellow Mazda tailgated me and when I switch over to the left lane, I saw him took out his camera phone and took pics of my Car.. while going 80 mph. Then I exited, he went straight... and still stares. You think he probably want to steal my R?

But damn I felt like a celebrity. Has anyone experience something like this?

really?

 

was he taking pictures of the license? i wouldn't worry too much about it. always keep your guards high though.

 

I've had kids come up to my car and just stare at it for awhile! It's kinda funny wathcing them do it to

 

in downtown chicago after pickn up my gf.. right under the train station, I was at a light and while waiting i noticed two kids acrros the street with their parents hiding behind the steel pole. They kept peeping in and out which made them stand out while i was waiting for the light to turn green At first they look like they were playing hide and seek with someone across the street but they were lookn at me the whole time. I didn't say anything, and as soon as the light turn green right when i passed them the two kids took out their cameras and start takn pics while i was slowly passing by while one kid was grabbing his dad and pointing at my car. My gf pinched me and said c...ur car just attracts negative attention

One time on the hwy, blk ep si, saw me coming from behind him and as i passed him started following me and right before i exit he took pics of the car from the side. These things happen. Bad or good i'm not sure.....

 

i've had people going in the opposite direction and flip a bitch to follow me. regardless, i didn't like people taking pictures of my car because many times they get thrown on the net with my plates showing. sometimes when i go to meets or whatnot, i take off my plates.

 

if it just taking a picture is OK I believe. However, if it starts following you...then it's not a good sign

 

maybe he is gay hahaha but got to worry

After watching the "alexander" movie, that is quiet believable...ergh.. if you haven't seen it.. go and watch it.. n for those who have.. you konw what i'm talkn about.. ghey

 

I have had people ask to take pics...

A somewhat normal thing, I guess.

 

I think they were admiring the car. If your worried about plates drive without them.

then get pulled over by the poe poe's and they'll ask" why dont you have your plates son?", and then you'll answer would be, "because i'm afraid of individuals takn pics of my car with the plates on." lol.,...and formaking him laugh he'll give you this orange piece of paper which is a coupon that requires you to send donations to ur state.

~paul who is sorry for the sarcasm, falln asleep

 

lol, yeah I was being sarcastic as well. If someone wants the plate # they don't need to take pics of it.

Exactly what i was thinking...

 

i had someone follow me home tonight...i had to drive around forever to get rid of them. and i saw alexander tonight....he is so gay

 

He probly thought your car looked cool

 

2 guys tried to follow me one night. i took the freeway and they still followed, strange thing is one of them had a camera recorder. i waited til i got near another exit, and just exited last minute. they kept going.

 

There were 4 R's and a hatch leaving Thunderhill after a track day and a civic full of girls were giving us thumbs ups and then starting videoing taping us. Whatever...

 

I'm sure most people who see us driving around says the same thing or thinks almsot the same thing, however as far as people steeling your car you should still be very careful because I had 3 people tail me all the way to my house, I drove past and went to the other side of the neighborhood then pulled in my buddys driveway, pictures.... hrmmm as long as they dont get ur plate you should be okay and on the other hand, enjoy the reations people give to you while your drivin your ARRRRRRR

 

maybe he is gay hahaha but got to worry


hahah hey stole my line honestly thats what I was gonna say,Ive had similar experiences in my R and its still sitting in my garage right now you shouldnt have anything to worry about as long as you car is garaged/has an alarm!But theres always that chance owning a real ITR!

 

Yeah someone took a pic of my car and a few days later it was broken into.

Yes, but not recently.

When the ITR was at the height of its unbeatable racing stint, it and other similar things used to happen all the time. Sometimes you'd draw a crowd when you were just trying to buy fuel.

A few years ago, "Is that a real Type R?" was an irritating but very common question in fueling stops, at stop lights and parking lots.
