    @I gotta job, I'm gonna pay the rent: I came across some cars being tested on a pass south of Sedona. We were all stopped at a rest area. They were wearing black and white checkered livery, but I neglected to take photos.

    Not to sound too skeptical, but you'd think that Death Valley was the only Really Hot Spot in the world to drive a car-like North Africa, for instance, didn't exist. No, instead, let's travel half way around the globe to the one highway where we know that "spy" photographers are camped out. That'll keep things 'secret'. Wink. Or the 'ol 'Let's-Wrap-This-3rd-Year-Rebadged-Tuareg-In-Zebra-Striped... Drive-Around-Downtown-London-In-Broad-... Daylight-And-Hope-No-One-Takes-A... Picture' plan. Hmmm....

    Even as a wee lad reading 'Popular Science' (Jim Dunne-for chrissakes, how old is that guy!), I saw this entire 'spy photo' thing for what it was-a marketing and PR stunt to build interest for an upcoming model. GM couldn't somehow block the view through the chain-link to their Proving Grounds? And why was Jim Dunne somehow the only guy who could get the money shot? Yes, this was the beginning of the cynicism necessary to become an adult.

    Still, I suppose it's all in good fun. Nothing wrong with a little childhood left in all of us. Carry on Brenda-may your work always be appreciated.

    When I worked at the VW/Audi test station in Tampa, we used to trade cars with the desert test station. They all spoke of Brenda being out on the road waiting for them every day - every where. Our trips to the Rockies would often have people up on the mountain passes ready with cameras. And we'd often 'bump' into other test crews for other manufacturers. Great fun to 'hide' from peering eyes.

    since brenda's cover is blown, i'd be happy to pick up the slack. especially for a nurburgring assignment. ;)

    (and to those engineers/test drivers who complain about spy photogs breaking traffic rules: did you ever consider that they are speeding because *you* are speeding?)

    Can't think of a cooler job. You get to hang out with your dogs in the desert with a bunch of high end camera gear carspotting. Sign me up.

    I wonder who almost ran them over? It almost looked like a Volvo convertible, I'm bad with the disguised cars though.
