But there was one in particular that longtime viewers will appreciate: Once filming had ended, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder, who have spent the last eight years stealing fans’ hearts right along with Elena Gilbert’s as Stefan and Damon Salvatore, took a final photo in front of the Camaro they filmed inside together many times. Yes, it’s Damon’s car, but it’s the car they took to rescue Elena from Elijah in season 2, and it’s the car they took this season when they both left their humanity behind to save Cade. And now, it’s the car they leave behind. Wesley posted the photo along with a thank you to fans for the past eight years.
