I never understand why the hell people leave their cameras at home. They're always like "it's not worth it!!11!", bring your f**king camera everywhere you go. I almost made the same mistake however I decided to bring it and I wound up catching a $2,000,000.00 Duesenberg (apologies for the toaster quality):

I leave mine at home simply because it's a burden to carry around and I don't see anything nice enough to warrant the use of it. If I leave it in my car, it's just a liability to have a several hundred dollar camera sitting in the car. Plus I wouldn't want it to get damaged from how hot the interior can get.

Like actually though. When I'm home I always have my camera in the passenger seat whenever I go anywhere. I'll usually only see something like once a week, but if pics are possible they're always with my camera.

Idk about you but if I'm going somewhere and I can't take my camera in, I put it underneath the backseat and cover it with a blanket or a jacket or something so nobody breaks in to steal it.

I can understand the "I don't see anything nice enough to warrant the use of it" excuse, but I would bring it just in case. I always bring it just in case I see a cool car or I see a great photo opportunity in general.

Missed my first ever Lamborghini...a Verde Mantis Gallardo LP560-4

My car's backseats don't let me do that :/ At any rate, I'm also a little concerned about the heat at this time of year. My radar detector will tell me it's overheating if I forget to take it down sometimes.

Trust me, there's nothing cool enough to take photos of in Lexington. I'll see some Ghiblis and at best an R8. Nothing else really to note though. One time I saw a Bitter CD2 and a Laforza at some guy's house, but that's the best I've seen around here.

Brown Aston Martin One-77 at a car wash in Beijing. Caught a glimpse of the rear wing extended and the iconic taillights, but because I was in a taxicab I couldn't go back to get a picture.

If I'm planning on going anywhere outside of the Walmart or HEB outside of my neighborhood, I feel I have to bring my camera. It's easier with the Canon SX600 because it fits in my pocket like a phone. I'll still use it for when I see something coming out of a store or making small trips when we get another memory card. But the new big camera is coming with me now too. It's easy to stow it away from sight. I'd rather have the burden of carrying the thing around then going somewhere and missing out on a potential great spot. Because in San Antonio most of the best spots are completely random.

I usually stow mine on the floor in front of the passenger seat and hide it with my sweatshirt. I also try not to park in the sun, and when I do I use windshield covers.

I just stow mine in the trunk next to the cooler.

Almost every car I've ever missed I wound up finding again months or even years later. That's the nice thing about my area. While I still haven't caught the Aventador SV or Gemini on the road yet, I did wind up catching the black P1 a year and a half later. All it takes is patience.

You know what, my worst miss ever was when we were heading up to Lime Rock Park for the Sunday in the Park Concours at Lime Rock Park during Historics Festival 32, and my moms car decides "You know what, I've had it. f*ck you" and breaks down five minutes from my house. So I wound up not going at all. I bawled like a b*tch for the rest of the day lmao.
