Brenda Priddy – Spy Photographer
Hope your Summer has been enjoyable. It’s a tad hot where we live. Still, Summer is wonderful time of year.
We’ve known Brenda for years. The first time I met her I really didn’t know what to expect. I was thinking “what does a spy photographer” look like – her and her crew, Boris and Natasha? She’s a feisty little gal with an awesomely sweet personality and couple of great kids, and maybe four pets.
Around ’95 when we were hot weather testing a V70 R wagonin Death Valley, Brenda called, ”I’m right behind an R wagon, with steam/smoke coming out under the hood and bunch of Swedish engineers looking perplexed.” I called our head of Arizona Proving Grounds (APG) and relayed the message. “News to me” was his response, but he was calling his engineers to find out what happened.
So point here is: She who has the camera and a Facebook page wins. The following was posted by Brenda on Facebook:
A PRIVATE message to the GM engineer, with the Cadillac group, driving this Camaro on July 30th:
When you’re going 55 and someone attempts to pass you on a two-lane highway, please don’t speed up to 90.
1) It’s rude.
2) Dangerous
3) You might anger the person behind you and your boss might hear about it.
With a great sense of timing and humor…Brenda is the best.

I like Brenda’s response to a bad situation.. Weel done!
I’ve thought about getting a camera (looxcie or similar) in my car…almost every day I see horrifically bad drivers…a candid camera shot sent to State Police could fix their wagons…
Well done Brenda! This is going to be the new wave of complaints. Instead of calling the police to report a reckless driver, a quick picture texted to a dedicated number will be all people need. I personally endorse this, as there are too many drivers that drive like they are in nascar, without the skills to back it up.
