    I usually start to panic when that happens. I often have flashbacks of a lady coming up our driveway when i was a kid and showing a picture of me passing two cars at a high rate of speed to my dad. Then later he beat my tail and grounded me.


    But I do understand the spyder grabbing peoples attention. Around my area I may as well be flying a UFO. It get some looks and alot of pictures taken of it....

    I have no problems with recognition either, except when my first known picture taking experience happened...I was IN tight traffic traveling about 45-50 in LA on the 5...at night....and the idiot in the lane next to me starts taking pics....WITH THE FLASH ON. WTF!

    2 years ago I was going down the highway minding my own business doing 50 t0 60 mph. I notice a late teens asian girl climbing out the rear passenger side window and sitting on the window sill of the car ahead of me. I could see another passenger through the back window holding her legs, so she did not fall out. She proceeds to start taking pictures of me. I backed off some to give me more time to avoid the bouncing body if needed.

    Worst experience I've had was the soccer mom in the mini van full of rug rats taking pictures with her cell phone while driving along side me. No one behind me downshifted and made a quick right. Almost rather she was texting.

    There is starting to be a lot of them here in the province that they are manufactured! So the rockstar affect is wearing off.

    Getting our picture taken while driving down the road is a pretty common thing here. We also got waved at and high fived a couple times yesterday. We still do not see a lot of in our travels here--so people seem to still be in that "what the heck is that?" mode.
