For those who dont know what it is, its basically a group on FB that post up cool or unique cars they see around town.

The problem I'm starting to have with it is the complete lack of respect for privacy. People are posting pics of peoples houses, full street names, locations of parked cars, etc...making it pretty easy for someone to find and in turn, steal some of these cars...

I'm all for sharing the random sighting (I do it) but they are kind of taking it too far now imo...

Am I just being overly paranoid?

Someone posted a pic of my new car up yesterday, and I wasn't going to say anything, until someone tagged me in the post. The car was in the parking lot at work and you couldn't tell where, but i've seen people post pics of cars in driveways and what not, and that really seems sketchy to post.

I agree. I actually just found the page yesterday, and thought it was odd. It's one thing if your friend sees you and takes a picture of your car...posts it on your page. It's another thing for a stranger to take a picture of your car, and post it on a random page that you don't know about.

That group kinda sucks. I like the idea but Its mostly 15 year old pollocks or trolls. And youre right, theres a bunch of people posting with no regard for the privacy of others and then theres a bunch of tools who get off on scolding people for posting those pics.

Maybe this means we should start a Troll War. Post the stupidest crap that we can find.
