Has anyone had ever something like this happen w/a car theyve owned?? I went to a mall yesterday and gota good spot right up front by the entrance doors. After 30minutes when I was done inside the mall I came back and I saw a woman standing behind my car with her baby in a carriage. I looked over to the front of the car and allof a sudden a bald guy's head pops up with a camera over his face standing there taping my car on his camcorder. Iguess it sounds hard tobelieve but I swear to god it happened! It scared meat first and I thought they were getting ready to do something to the car! I never had someone taping a car I owned in a parking lot. No actulaly this is the first time Ive everseen a bystander video taping any car in a parking lot! I guess I cameout at the right time. When he saw me flashing the lights to unlockthe door he shut off the camera and camerunning up to me to shakemy hand and he told me my car was one ofthe highlights of his trip down to Miami. LOL! The onlybad part was I havent washed the car in 5 days soit was kind of dirty. I let him film the interior and opened the doors for him and I even popped the hood and tried to show him the rotary engine but I forgot that its down and towards the middle so youreally cant see it even after youtake off the cover. I cant believe this happened to me today guys. It makes me feel like I own a Lamborghini or Ferrari except with a huge discount.

My Rx8 is titanium gray and just the sport package. It was the firstone the guy ever saw in person so that is probably whyhe filmed it not because of the color. He told me the blue Rx8 that hesaw in X Men 2 wouldbe the only color hed get the car in.

I agree, get used to it. The place that mounted and balanced the wheels for us wants put a pic of it on their website.

I came out to my car to go to lunch from work and found a guy taking pictures of it with his digital camera. He claimed the pictures were for a "friend". Yeah right.
