bird behavior, spotted towhee

There are two spotted towhees that seem to have fallen in love with their own reflection on our cars. Sort of like Narcissus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissus_%28mythology%29). My guess is it’s near nesting season and they think the reflection is either a potential mate or rival. They do this behavior all day. Taken in our Prescott driveway.
