Got to my car in a long stay airport car park and found it had made a new friend whilst I was away

Put a smile on my face on a rainy morning back in the UK!

I've done it myself when the opportunity presents itself, anyone else?

Conversely, I'll go out of my way to avoid it.

I don't think I've ever seen another same model of my car to be able to do this, I'll keep my eyes peeled from now on.

Why? As the picture below, I think it looks quite cool if the opportunity presents itself

With only about 250 others on the road i doubt i will get an opportunity, but would definitely take it if it presented itself.

Haha! I guess it depends on what you drive as well, but I assume most people returning to their car and seeing the same model parked next to them would notice and make comment. At least I know they'll be careful when closing doors and leaving the space.

Surely this is just the same make rather than model, like a BMW 3 series saloon parking next to a 3 series estate - not the same thing.

You don't have your car in your profile.

Care to share what rarity you own ?

I usually will do it if given the opportunity. That said, there is only the older style of MX-5 around here so it's not exactly the same. Conversely I also try and park next to massive trucks for the scale difference (no one really uses sports cars here so it's pretty unusual to have the comparison).

A few years ago I came back from shopping in Southampton to find an identical car parked next to mine. They only made 25 of them, it's the only time I've ever even seen one.
