Default Photos of Your C8 with Unsuspecting Cars in Public

I'm a car guy at heart and always enjoyed doing this next to cars I appreciated, regardless of make/model/price point. Such as my lowly BRZ next to a Cayman which BRZ engineers benchmarked or a 458 Italia or my Suzuki SX4 next to a Nissan GT-R (juxtaposing the most affordable with the most expensive AWD cars from Japan). Haven't found as many opportunities as I'd like with my C8 because I haven't driven it as much but here are a few I've done (spotted way too many Corvettes).

For the sake of this thread, maybe don't post photos of your C8 with other cars that you own nor at a cars and coffee/car meet where cars are intentionally parked for glamor shots/showing off. Rather post with unsuspecting cars spontaneously spotted in the wild. Pics that were worth some ounce of novelty to compel you to go out of your way to snap them.

Ran to the grocery store recently and parked a ways out as always. Came out after and siblings had appeared.

I met a couple at a local Corvette club I was thinking about joining. A few weeks later, I went to a brewery, and they were there with a different car. They called me over because they recognized me (or my C8), and we hung out for a bit.

Bye the way, that damn Cyber truck blows the doors off Z06 in the quarter from standing start.

Nice idea, Mando!

I won't have to go far though. My daily is rare enough that just taking a picture of it next to the ER I'm trying to buy--is going to be a 1 of 1 style pic. Someday...

The Tesla P/U is a monster. Waiting for one on our boulevard. And the Packard ooo la la.

Thanks.

Not to hijack but....Around here I see a Cyber Truck every day. Most I'm guessing are from the factory doing test runs or lunch. Worthless as a truck but if you have to have the latest I-phone you know you need one of these.

Perhaps, but it looks like an HVAC mechanic built it.
