A funny thing happened on the way to lunch..

I decided to go to a local pizza place for lunch today, only about a 5 minute trip. I pull onto the main road outside my office it is two lanes in each direction. I'm stopped at a light and I notice a white C300 with pano in the left lane (i'm in the right) and the driver is craning his neck looking at my car. Light changes and I head out this other driver changes lanes to get behind me and I can tell he is checking the rear of my car out. Did I run over something and am dragging it? Then he changes back to the left and paces me stealing looks at my car. He then drops back behind me and we turn onto the road where the pizza place is. He pulls into the spot next to me and gets out of his car.
This is where things get funny. He asks me for the phone number of the customizer called Darth who did the work on my car. I nearly laughed as I told him Darth is the cars name and with the exception of the tint I had installed all of the accesories or Fabricated the ones that were not available. I informed him I don't do this for a living only my personnal enjoyment. We then talked for about 5 minutes and I told him to drop in here to see some great rides and some original mods.
