I always get weird looks from the drivers when I take pics of sport bikes

Me with sport bikes:
Every bike except Ducatis: "Just another motorcycle, big deal."
Ducatis: "Hey a Ducati. Cool." *walks away*
Lol sorry Jerl.

Normally the owners of the cars i spot take photographers as a complement. They like to see other people (especially young people) recognise the value of their car.

Yeah....tell that to Brendon whenever he spots a Bentley lol.

I saw a matte white F12 parked so I went up to it with my camera and the owners of it saw me aim the camera at it for a shot and they floored it and honked at me as soon as I was about to get a shot. In San Diego I get the most awkward, weird looks even if I'm taking shots of an Aventador or something crazy.

Everyone I live with is fine with car spotting but my mom is the one who really seems interested in taking me out to get some shots. She does get a little worried however because she thinks that the owners don't want people doing that, but I've had zero bad experiences with any owners. The owner of an SLS riding beside us slowed down just to let me get a better picture of his car. A Viper owner, about a month ago, opened up the bonnet and the interior just to let me get some shots.

I've had a few random people give me odd looks and this group of old people were pointing at me when I was looking at an RS7 a few months ago, but that doesn't really bother me much. One valet let me get some close ups of a 458 Spider. However back when I was first getting into car spotting, there was a GranCabrio being valeted and when I took some quick shots the valets gave me some really nasty looks.

I remember once spotting salomondrin's chrome blue Aventador before i even knew who he was, and then i posted it on Instagram and he somehow found it and commented on it. Pretty cool guy. Almost everybody is fine with me taking pictures. The two biggest exceptions would be the valet douches at the Montage Hotel, and this one guy in a 911 Turbo who flipped me off when i took a pic.

I was at a great show today and a guy with a Ferrari 308 noticed me taking pictures of his car. He told me to send them to him (he gave me his email) and he'd pay me for the shots! Haha, awesome guy really nice.

I once tried to take pictures of a ZO6 at a Lowe's Home Improvement. There was an older man loading some things into his SUV parked next to it, and he didn't like that I was taking pictures of the Corvette. He kept giving me weird looks, and walked back into the store, so I left and went back to the car. He returned a minute later with a few Lowe's employees, and seemed to be looking for me. I think the employees were like, "Dude, that's a Corvette," because he soon left.

I was out in Boston, taking the usual trip around. I get some Burger King. I'm walking down the street, and I notice a 2012 Continental in a nice grey color. I snap a front and back pic, and the owners comes out of nowhere. He opens the door and motions me to get in. It was so roomy!
