I've had pictures of my cars on several boards including this one and I've sold cars on boards and craigslist, all with license plates blazing. You're welcome to look up my posts, find my plates, and tell me my address.

But, that was your choice. Regardless of privacy issues, and paranoia, and etc., the classy and polite thing to do was exactly as S&B did. He covered the plate number. You seem to have a disconnect with this thought process. Sad.

And for the 959 lovers, back on topic :

Anyone know what the round thing is on the hood, on the driver's side?

My guess is a gas filler

Seen a gray one of these yesterday at the MotoGP in Laguna Seca. Beautiful.

Exactly. That's why I asked the question. Are the guys taking these pictures being disrespectful? I can find thousands of car shows all over the country like this.

I guess the answer to my question is what I thought it would be, sad.

Listen, a lot of people out there don't like their plates posted in pics on the Internet.
This guy has a rare & expensive car.
I don't know him.
I wanted to share what I saw (a freaking 959!!!) with you fine people.
I took 2 seconds to black out his plate in case he would take issue with his plates being posted online.


P.S. - I saw him cruising around again last night. It is in fantastic shape.
