Default My drive-by (photo) shooting!

There I was, minding my own business, sitting in my xB, listening to the radio, waiting for my sweetie at a parking lot, when it happened to me. Some guy in a rusty Civic slowed waaaay down, pointed his cell-phone camera at me, and clicked off a couple of pictures. I put my hands over my face so I wouldn't be recognized . . . and then lowered my hands and grinned at him, letting him know it was OK . . . .

He went around the corner and turned into the parking lot and came over to ask me if he could shoot some more pictures and to find out exactly what kind of exotic car it was he was taking pictures of !

I think he was a little surprised to find out that it is, in fact, an econo-box made by Toyota, and that he could probably afford one -- if he could find a used one, as they don't make 'em like mine any more.

He shot a few more pictures -- with a regular digital camera this time -- thanked me profusely, and drove off.

Made MY day (but I wished I had washed my box a little more recently ;^)

Nice!!!

i came out of a store and saw a 12/14 kid going around my car and checking it out, I left him alone for 5 mins. Then when his mom Yelled "we have to come get in the car jacob" I went over to my car and said "you like?" he looked startled didn't think it was mine and asked "yeah it's a tC right? You got rims" (my car is completly debadged)

made my day too also cos there were 2 other more "modded" tC (my friends) parked right next to mine but he was checkin mine out

One and the same person. We're still honeymooners, having married only ten years ago..... We have a 40-year contract; she was single 40 years and she's gonna try marriage for 40 years and see which she likes better. So far so good!
