I have been either extremely lucky or extremely unlucky lately in regards to real life sightings of Transformers. A few weeks ago, I saw movie Jazz, movie Bee, a blue movie OP, G1 Hound, and G1 Ironhide, but didn't have my camera with me. And it is construction season, so there have been a lot of Constructicon sightings, also without the camera. After banging my head on the steering wheel after Ironhide (actually I saw him twice in as many days) I then resolved to carry my camera with me, a resolution which lasted, oh, about 4 days.
Well, yesterday I had to go to class after work, I saw my camera on the kitchen island, looked at it, said to myself, 'I don't need that tonight,' and went on my merry way. You can see where this is going, can't you? On my way to class I saw Chromia from the new movie (blue motorcycle), 07 Bumblebee (yellow Camaro, no stripes), and G1 Sideswipe (red Lamborghini parked at a car shop). The lambo is what had me squeeing and cursing that I hadn't taken my camera. On the way home, I purposely swung by the shop, just in case it was still there. It was! So, this morning, I left a half hour earlier for work so I could drive 10 miles out of my way to take a picture of a stupid car. I have issues.
But, here he is - Sideswipe!
I swear, I'm gonna carry my camera around with me now. Because I know they're out there. I just gotta find 'em.

I didn't see who the owner was, probably some old fat guy, 70 years old. They're the only ones around here that could afford such a car.
I didn't get too close because I didn't want to drool all over it.
