Being videotaped while driving...

Apart from the occasional thumb sticking out a truck window, I rarely see anyone even look at the car.  Maybe they all got used to it being a sight on the local roads?   :shruggy:

I do get comments on parking lots or gas stations and maybe while driving I'm just paying attention to the road instead of looking for thumbs or cameras.

Maybe your a freak :) just kidding..........I get people standing by 5.0 when I come out of stores just to talk about it...I get annoyed and my cutlass convert had a ton of pics taken......it is the ERA of the cars....not everyone will like trucks or certain models...but enjoy it while it lasts....its like being a celebrity

I was going to say "maybe you're just ugly and they feel bad for filming you" in my first response but decided not to.  I guess I said it now though!  :lol:

Even though someone recording you can be awkward, I don't know why anyone would dislike it?  It means they like the car!         Or you're ugly!

Some people don't want to be captured on video, usually means it will get posted somewhere I don't know about and have no control over, I try to keep my a low profile on line.  The odd picture taken here or there i don't care about, I see plenty of people taking photos of my daily driver, I would only think that the charger would draw just as much or more attention than the newer 2010 Challenger R/T does, and it gets a lot.

Yep, happens all the time.  It doesn't bother me unless it's the driver doing it and they start drifting too close to the Charger...

Guilty....(of the pictures, not the drifting)?

I haven't noticed video either but lots of pics taken. Another strange thing since I bought the car is several times people start talking to me while driving down the road. Windows are down of course. Nice weather here in Florida.

Yes, occasionally. It's inevitable.
I'm not all that fussed about it really because there's nothing that can be done to prevent it. Also, I'm guilty of doing it myself, (as a passenger) taking photos and video.
I just hope that one day some dick head doesn't run into me while trying to film me with a camera phone.
Who knows how many videos we are in which we don't even know about.

I do not see them doing it to chevys and fords  :icon_smile_big: For example a C10 thats been lowered, supercharged (you can hear), I mean decked out, and guess what everyone talks to me about the 'charger' and not the decked out C10 in the same gas station and tell me how nice my car is. 



enough of my rant.....Im not annoyed or anything, but curious what the 'mysitque' is with the charger vs other classical cars.  :icon_smile_big:

When people have seen 20 bazillion (I looked it up, it's A LOT) lowered Chevy this, or Mustang that, they tend to gravitate towards  .  The odd one out. Just be glad none ask you when your painting it orange and installing the 01's.

I shot video of a 69 Charger from the inside of a 70 Charger. Not sure how/if this is relevant to the thread but it's something to look at.
