Caught on camera

[basjoos]

As I was driving home last night, I got "flashed" by somebody taking a picture of my car from the back seat of a passing SUV. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. A few months ago a guy slowly passed me in a van, then drove on ahead, pulled over, and had a videocamera going as I drove past. On every trip I take on the interstate, there is at least one car (usually several) that take a long time to pass me while checking out my car. Sometimes to the point to where traffic will start piling up behind the guy who is sitting in the passing lane beside my car while he satisfies his curiousity.

One thing that I have noticed is that since I have highly aero modded my car is that I stopped having any problems with rude drivers behaving badly because I was not driving at their preferred speed. I guess I've made the transition from "old car driving too slow" to "experimental/?electric/?hybrid vehicle" and now get a similar reaction from people when they come up behind me as they would if they pulled up came up behind a slow-moving antique car. In other words, something totally outside of the mainstream of normal automobiles and thus not expected to be driving in the same manner and speeds as a "normal" car.
