I wouldn't go home if someone were following me/watching.

I have spoken to people I don't know about their car before. Not usually about color, but just in general. I have followed people into parkinglots before after a friendly run. Best was a 911 4S The chic gave me a ride in it, and took a ride in my F-body. Very cool!

As far as creepy, I love watching girls eat. Their tongues dart out and make contact with the food before anything else. It makes me laugh for some unknown reason. Thank you for allowing me to share that.
Z06: where downshifting into 5th actually gives you enough power to pull away really fast.

so i pull into my garage looking for the nearest tire iron when this guy rolls down his window and says can i ask you a question. i go sure all the time thinking hes
going to ask me if i know how to drive or something. so anyway he says what color is your car called,i just love that color. iv'e got a 64 chevy i would love to paint it this summer. So anyway i tell him MB. Sorry to ramble but this guy followed me all the way across town just to find that out.
Wow man, where im from the guy would have been dragged out of his car or given the finger and screamed at.

Did he happen to look like this? (Click on attachment)

I love when people screw up and then act as if it was your fault. I have a good story for this. But I'll save it. Just say I'm still on probabtion for it. It would of been worse if it wasn't for the three witnesses on my side.
hahahaha. yah, it's most effective when you tell them your wifi camera is recording on your laptop inside the house while you point it.

ive done it to a few people in my neighborhood when i see the same car going around more than twice. i just pull out my flip and point. they look at you like WTF are you doing?

I had a similar experience two summers ago. A guy in his 60s driving an '04 Monte Carlo SS, complete with the wife in the passenger seat, followed me to my driveway. I assumed he was "unhappy" that I had (legally) passed him earlier on the main street but he just wanted to ask about the colour of my car (majestic blue).

The odd thing is, I was driving my nine year old '01 Maxima AE! Though to be fair, it was freshly washed . The car still looks pretty good, but Nissan's thin paint is no match for 9 Canadian winters - and yes the paint was really bad back then too.

It was very, very odd. I still have no idea what kind of person would follow someone to their house to ask about their car...other than a serial killer or some other sort of freak.

I had a similar experience like the topic creator, but not at my house. This guy followed me into a Wal-Mart parking lot (at night btw), waited until I got out of the car to ask me if the blue was a factory color.

This may have been the same guy that followed the TC LOL. Was it an older guy in a huge Chevy truck?
