Honestly I haven't had too many notable experiences with BMW drivers, but I sure have with hybrid drivers....

I'll never forget when a BMW owner tried to confront me for taking a picture of his dirty M5. I don't even know why I bothered trying to explain it to him he acted like he was deaf, he kept shouting "why are you taking a picture of my car!"

Edit:
Yesterday I was taking pictures of a red Audi RS5 and one lady was like "lol you want me to take pictures of you in front of the car?" Glad I don't seem to run into people giving me extremely weird looks anymore.

Got another one for the thread today:

I was taking pictures of a white Porsche Boxster GTS in Stamford today and these two fucks in a Nissan pull up on the street near it and first asked me "YO IS THAT YOUR CAR?" to which I replied "Nah". The guy in the passenger seat then yells "STOP TAKING PICTURES OF IT YOU f**king NERD", laugh off, and drive away.

This is the second time this kind of thing has happened to me and it would be nice if I weren't harassed for what I love to do. They're lucky I didn't have a gun or anything because one day they might do that to the wrong person and they are going to end up paying the price.

After I took some photos of this car, a pedestrian asked me: "Hey, are u a paparazzi or is that car special to you?" I replied: "it's a cool Lambo, I like it, that's all."

There was a '62 Vette that was parked downtown, and as I photographed it, a woman who had owned a '66 was talking to me. I was guessing roughly '61, but later, when reviewing the photos I noticed that the plates said something like "62 vette" or "1962". I cannot remember, but it was beautiful.

Wish that happened for me!!! Everytime I'm on the site the kids in my classes will be like "Why are you just looking at cars???". LOL I wish people understood the life of a car guy.

I've honestly never had a bad reaction. The owners and lot attendants/valet are really cool. I've ended up becoming friends with some of them.

While I've met some nice owners and nothing but nice valets, as well as noticed that bystanders seem to care less about taking pictures lately, it's a shame that some security guards feel the need to profile you even if you explain what you're doing. The police understand. So why don't the security guards?

These guys in a Bentley Continental GT Cabrio ask me if I want to join them (they offer me for a ride in their Bentley, although I just refuse it):



And the female passenger in this Ferrari California later 'say cheese!' when she knows I'm taking pictures of her ride:

The weirdest thing just happened. I’m taking pics of a new Alpina B7 across from a Jewish community center. The owner was extremely nice but all of a sudden these two random dudes come out asking “why are you taking pics of kids” then I’m like “I’m not I’m taking pics of the car with the owners permission” then they’re like “ok but you can see why it’s creepy in front of a school” I just leave

Some dude (a foreigner) trying to start a fight with me while I'm taking a pic of the RR Wraith with 24"s, thinking that I did something illegal by taking a picture without someone's consent. He nearly punch me in the face and threw my phone to the ground, also he even talk to me like this: 'What the f*ck do you think you're doing b*tch? This ain't your f**king property!' Luckily he was stopped by 3 security guards who were patrolling the area (it was in the VIP parking lot at Plaza Indonesia). Found out later that he had recently drank 5 cups of alcohol before doing these.

People are so weird, unless it's the owner (and I've had good experiences with them lately). I usually just ignore randoms who clearly don't own the car or state clearly what I'm doing and what the car is. If somebody accused me of taking pictures of kids lol, I'd scoff and turn on the camera to show them the pictures of the car and be like "Does this look like kids to you???"

I got a picture of a XKR and then i turn around and i see two people staring at me and laughing.

I while back I decided that I just don’t care what people think of me.

Pretty much. Even though the types I take pictures of has narrowed down to what most people find understandable, people still act like they haven't seen a camera before. But I don't really care about other people because often the owners are nice and understanding lol.
