Have you ever had this happen to you?
My 9 year old daughter brought her ipad to me just now to show me that she saw my car on the internet. Sure enough, it was a pic of me driving my car. I followed the pic's link and found this:

Gotta admit, it was a little creepy. A few months ago, I saw a pic of my car parked outside the museum that someone posted on a carspotting site (a friend told me about it). That wasn't a big deal - it was parked in front of a car museum, after all. But this one is actually me driving down the street. I guess the lesson learned is that as much as we probably take these cars for granted after owning one for awhile, they do draw a ton of attention.

The funny thing is that there are a lot of very nice, waaay more expensive cars in this part of town. Hey, what a great compliment - I'll take it. Especially given that a new loaded Accord or Camry rolling off the dealer's lot probably cost more than what I paid for my car.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
Well, normally yes, but now I think it's worth something.
Well then the joke's on them! Car ring boss to thief who shows up in my car: "You stole one with the goofy headlights? Dumbass!"

You shouldn't "spot" cars that you don't really know...
