I only see like maybe two Mustangs per day because I don't get out much, so I just scrape up whatever I can.
And why I did I start taking pictures of half of those? Well to put in short, 80% of it is OCD, and the other 20% of it is the fact that I actually like some of those cars. I know if I don't take pictures of a car, I'll end up beating myself up for it in the future.
AG has a leaderboard called the "Spotter Top 100" and it goes to the people who have the most spots on their account. I'm trying to get a spot up there. The leader is a spotter named "Style" who currently has 8,956 spots on their account and counting.
Also, cars start to grow on you once you start noticing them more and more. Ever since I started taking pictures of Challenger SRT-8s, I absolutely fell in love with them.

Supercars are so rare here that I take photos of absolutely every spot-worthy car.

San Antonio isn't necessarily full of exotics so you're not always going to see the unique well specc'd skittle colored exotics. Most stuff here is just white, silver, grey or black. Boring. Unless it's a rare find I tend to skip cars that color unless the black or white on it looks special which is the case sometimes. And I tend to skip almost all dirty cars, they just look bad. I won't take a picture of it unless it's really rare.
I don't even notice base C7 Vettes anymore. Most GranTurismos I pass by unless they're not the colors I listed or if they're the facelift/MC models.
Honestly what really matters is the setting. If it's in an area where I can get a good shot then it's highly likely I will stop and get it. But if it's in some ugly parking lot crowded with other cars or something like that I'll skip it.

A couple more to add
Maseratis
Bentleys
AMG GTS
R8s
Stuff like 458s, Gallardos, F430s I'll still take photos of given a good opportunity however if I see one I'm not going to waste my time chasing it down to get a photo of it.

Same. Also the location matters to me, so if I see an R8 or a V8 Vantage on my college campus, where there aren't many cars, I might break the camera out, but I would never do that in the bay area.

Yeah same for me if I see a V8 Vantage or any 911 or V8 R8 in a location that isn't convenient then I might take a shot to know I saw it but I won't try for anything cool.

Yup, what I do. Sometimes I take a shot anyway but I know I won't edit it.

Wish I could say that. Hell I still haven't seen an FF outside of a dealership/show, ever. But if they did become common, I think I'd ignore anything that looks like it was bought off of a showroom floor with no remarkable options/choices.

Most of them are exactly like that nothing interesting about the car other than the fact that it has a ferrari badge on it and they all have to be that same ferrari red :| . With the same amount of money you could buy many more interesting cars but they decided to buy a ferrari because of the name.
