The parking lot where I work has had its problems - cars broken into, purses and backpacks stolen, skateboarders hanging about, doing stunts and making nuisances of themselves. So when a co-worker of mine (who thinks I have the cutest car she's ever seen) went out and saw two kids hanging around my car, she went over to see what they were doing...

Turns out, they were taking pictures of her with their camera phones!

:smile:

 

You just described my neighborhood. I'm dense. Were they photographing the car (machine gender nomenclature) or your friend? Sorry.

Thanks.

 

I believe they were photographing the car (her the car, not her the woman in the office)

 

Darn. I just got it. They were photographing HER (Tillie the car)! I am dense I am dense I am dense.

A very MINI story.

 

During the Christmas holiday, the wife and I volunteered to help collect "Toys for the Troop's Kids" at a local shopping mall. The booth was set up in the parking lot so folks could drive by and drop off toys.
Our MINI was parked every day in front of the booth in the first available stall.
One day I watched as two guys drove up in their mini-van, got out and proceeeded to photograph our car with their digital cameras.
Now, our MINI knows what it is like to be hounded by the Papparazzi!

 

Tillie is a celebrity! :smile:

I was driving down the highway once and a minivan was matching my speed, just kinda sitting in my blind spot. I got really annoyed and then looked over to see the back window down and a kid leaning out to take a pic of my MINI. Just a few days later the same thing happened... with a teenage girl using her phone to take a pic. Somewhere out there are pics of me cruising the highway

 

I was at the outlet stores in Kittery Maine and someone pulled up behind my car, blocking me in. They got out, took a picture, then left. Wierd.

 

I've got to admit it, my car is better looking than I am!

 

That is really cute! Of course I too get a lot of attention for my car, there aren't too many where I live...yet.

 

 

And I thought they were taking pictures of me I still get a kick out of finding nose prints on the windows

While I was Rain-X'ing my windows yesterday, I found some odd spots in odd places. Didn't think much of it at the time, but now that you mention it, I'll bet that's what they were!
