If The Honda FIT(s)...

LANCASTER, SC.--- This morning a young couple caught my eye as I walked across the Wal-Mart parking lot.
They were walking around, taking pictures of each other beside a car with a digital camera (no the car didn't have a digital camera, they did,) [so what was that, some kind of participle error or something?] 
Isn't that cute, I thought.
They must have just bought a brand new car and are so excited they are taking pictures of themselves with it everywhere they go.  I've felt that way about a new car before.  Never actually done that though.
Anyway, back to the story.  The car was a grayish- silver "Honda FIT" with black alloy wheels.  No idea what year, I can't tell anymore. All cars are pretty much non-descript these days except for the really high-end jobs like a Lamborghini, or a Ferrari.
So, there you go, they are happy and taking pictures and I am walking. When I get to the crosswalk area and hesitate to check for traffic I turn around and see the couple walking across to the next aisle of the lot. 
I watch them get into another car 3 rows over from where I first noticed them.  It's a small car and I can't see it so I wait until they pull out of their spot and drive towards me.
The car is a grayish-silver "Honda FIT" with black alloy wheels.  No idea what year, you can't tell....
Hey wait a minute...is that a pixel echo I'm seeing?  Did I accidentally activate the "cut and paste" function.
No, they were taking pictures of themselves standing by a car, which to the untrained eye was identical to the one they drove off, in but it wasn't...the one they drove away in, that is. 
So I been wondering about this; assuming the car they didn't get in wasn't theirs and the one they did get into was...why?  I mean really, why?  Do cars have body doubles?
Oh well...
