Smile for the Camera

While driving home in dense traffic I saw another guy get a grin on his face when he saw my car, and then up comes his phone to take a picture of my car! That's a first for me.

I don't know if he thought my car looked rediculous or cool, but either way my car stands out because of the aero tweaks. I'll chalk that up as a win.

I really enjoy it when people stop and ask me what's going on with my car. my kid blew up his Camry and I had to convert it back to a almost normal car so he could drive it.

Congrats on your first fan.

The more you do, the more you get. If you keep going, they will start asking questions in parking lots, won't they 'Spotter.

more then parking lots, they will seek you out, follow you a few blocks to your stop (last week) and ask about the car. roll down windows in traffic to ask....

Well that is boat tail shock. I get alot of pictures because of my panel mirror, but that is about it. But then again, I have tried my best to make the mods subtel and "fit it" the best I can. I would love to have a boat tail. but lack the time to make a nice one that would somewhat blend in. Maybe someday I will make a hitch mounted version... But not in the near future.

Congrats on the fame of your first picture darcane

Thanks! I figure it's probably on Reddit and/or facebook somewhere...

No boat tail plans for me. That's more attention that I need.
