Car spotting
Observation hobby
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A car spotter is a person who is typically strongly interested, in an amateur capacity, in car spotting, which is observing or photographing interesting, prototype, vintage, rare, modified, sports cars and exotic supercars.[1][2][3][4] Car-spotters tend to express their individuality through their own photographs taken of their certain interests.[5]
Car spotting can be done almost anywhere,[6] but car shows and rallies attract large numbers of carspotters,[2] These are traditional events that sparked the popularity behind car-spotting.[7] Spotters may post their photos on social media or dedicated carspotting websites, or published newspapers and books.[1][2][8][9] Car-spotting became popular at auto-shows, with the New York International Auto Show,[7] LA Auto Show, Paris and Tokyo,[10] bringing car enthusiasts spotting design and the growth of cars.[7] As times advance, more niche events, such as cars and coffee and brand-deals bring large followings of car-spotters through social media.[7][11]
