Has this ever happened to anyone before?

Ok, this one night I'm coming up to take a right turn on this street, the light is already yellow and about to turn red, and all of a sudden I see this "flash" from this DSM that's on the street i'm turning into and he drives forward (due to the light turning green after the light I came up to turned red). Anyway, he drives forward, towards the direction that I was about to turn towards as well. So I speed up a little and come up next to him and see a "flash" again from the DSM as I'm passing. From the first time I saw the "flash" from the car, I had a suspicion that the person in the passenger seat was taking a picture, perhaps of my car. So we're both driving and the light up ahead turns red. I then locate the DSM in my rear-view mirror and it's slowly coming up to the red light. I then look to my right (he was coming up on my right side) and see this girl in the passenger seat focusing her flash camera towards me. Now, she pretty much got "caught red handed" because I could clearly see the red light on her camera and I also saw the driver and the silhouette of another girl in the back window looking in my direction as well. I would assume that the girl in the passenger seat was about to take another picture of me/my car but hesitated because I was already looking over in their direction when she was focusing the camera (she turned the camera towards another direction when she noticed me looking at them). Well then, I turned left at the next light and they went straight and that was pretty much that. At any rate, I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this kind of thing? Personally I don't appreciate being captured by "vehicle paparazzi" if ya get what I'm sayin. Just my little rant for the night I guess. Thanks for your time.

IMO, it means one of two things, they either just like your car, and want a picture, or they like your car, want it, take a picture of it so they can find it and steal it lol.

I am pretty sure that we shall meet again, seeing as Anchorage isn't that big of a city (everyone pretty much knows who drives what). Maybe next time I'll have a camera on me...and as far as following them, I had bigger fish to fry at the time if you catch my drift.

This happend right after I got the RRM bodykit put on my car.
I was driving in the city (OKC) and these 2 younger males in a eclipse pull up next to me. My windows are 5 percent soo you cant see me in my car even on the best of days, anyways the passanger starts to point at my me and my car. The light turns green and I start to drive off. The passsenger pulls out a VIDEO CAMERA and starts to tape me. The pull in behind me, wich is where my plate is and keep taping. There is this hairpin that I know about sooo I take it and they fallow. I end up loosing them do to there lack of acceleration lol. I though for sure my car was going to get jacked lol. Never seen them again though wich is good.

I went to pickup my gf from work. I was early so I parked the car and went out and sat nearby the entrance. When she came out, she was like ''who are those 2 guys checking out your car?'' I look back and see 2 guys walking around the car. One of them had his face stuck to the window trying to see inside. Haha that was funny.

Another time I was at a gas station fueling up and some woman about 40yrs + came up to me and asked me if Mitsubishi cars were good. I told her yeah blablabla haha... funny stuff
