I worked with a guy named Alfredo, who was fairly well-off and lived a neighborhood next to an extremely affluent area.
He was cutting throught the more expensive area when a guy who was opening his mailbox, waved him over.
Alfredo was not sure what was the deal, so he pulled over and it was Brian Wilson.
He thought Brian must have mistaken him for someone with a similar car, but Brian was personable and insisted on showing him a new hyradualic car lift he'd recently installed in his garage. He could park a car, lower it out of sight and park a 2nd on top.

Brief, but interesting encounter.
