NorCal Spotted Thread
 
So since it'd be cooler to see this done by region then the country, I'll start a thread.

BigFatLip someone just posted a pic of a WRB BRZ on 880 near Newark. I'm willing to bet that was you.

Ha! That made me check outside my office parking lot, lol, my car was stolen!. Could've been me, depends on when it was taken, I was driving from San Jose back to the East bay this weekend. Could also be dr tepper, who's in San Jose...

Edit: I think it is drtepper, took a closer look at the front and it looks like its a limited (barely could make out the fogs)

Spotted argento FRS by AT&T park today. He was at the stop light, and I was waking on the sidewalk yelling at him. Didn't notice me lol.

What the... that is probably me .. was it southbound and around what time?

Also, just spotted a Black (i think) FRS on 280S Saratoga / Winchester at about 12 (midnight), we obviously spotted each other since we did a little high beaming / lane changing dance and such. Wonder if he was a user on here.

uspspro 06-10-2012 05:10 PM

first time I saw one "on the road" other than my own.

Spotted a silver BRZ in San Mateo headed from 3rd toward Crystal Springs.

I am in San Mateo also, but was on my road bike at the time.

Capt Canuck 06-11-2012 12:16 AM

Spotted a black FRS this afternoon on San Ramon Valley Blvd at Deerwood Road.
First spot in the wild for me in California :)

Re~Mix 06-12-2012 09:29 PM

Kind of bummed nobody has spotted mine yet! :confused0068:

700 miles and counting in the SF South Bay. Asphalt

lol you're not alone man. No-one has spotted mine yet either, but I mainly have been driving it from work to home on 280.

dnL 06-13-2012 02:39 AM

Spotted asphalt FR-S on the Holly/Redwood Shores parkway overpass this morning. 2 FR-S sightings in a period of 4 days... more frequent than I thought it would be at this point.

Travis 06-13-2012 04:15 AM

Saw a pearl white BRZ in san jose at the intersection of Brokaw and zanker. Looked damn good

M&M_Hwy9 06-13-2012 03:28 PM

Did Missy see you?

Missy said that she passed an asphalt fr-s in her asphalt fr-s this morning on 880 around 7:00 or 8:00. Was that you?

Nope, I tend to stick to 101 or backroads for the commute. Didn't think that many people chose Asphalt! My favorite color, but could've gone with the burnt orange as well.

F-Bomb 06-13-2012 06:11 PM

Just saw a Firestorm 20 mins ago going westbound on I-80 just outside of West Sac :D first one I've seen on the road.

Just wondering.. Why should California have 2 subforums? There is already the Southwest subforum, and California is the only state with it's own already. With this system, we could have Western Washington, Eastern Washington, Central Oregon, Western Oregon, North Idaho, and South Idaho, along with the Northwest subforum :bonk:

Well you can request all of that subforum you mentioned if you wish

I don't know how people interact in the states that you mentioned, but I feel like NorCal and SoCal are so different and far enough apart that they may as well be different states. To me, SoCal is so far away that we'd never have meets with them or do anything but a few really big events with them. Regional forums seem like the place you would go to to interact with people who could be considered your "neighbors", people you could realistically meet in person.

And honestly, I think California is better off without SoCal anyways. :bellyroll: I kid, I kid...

dnL 06-13-2012 07:36 PM

I just looked through some of the regional forums, and it's crazy how many states some of them have. I guess I just got used to NorCal having its own regional forum. At least that's how it is on most, if not all, the car forums I've frequented.

Travis 06-14-2012 02:12 PM

Saw a whiteout FR-S on Stevens Creek in Santa Clara, first whiteout Ive seen in person. Looked amazing

Ha parked in front of the Acura dealership? I drove past it today on my way to work. I probably just missed you, you would have seen mine and that one then. :P

random 06-19-2012 01:05 AM

Saw a Hot Lava FR-S going southbound on Winchester Blvd just south of Stevens Creek yesterday (Sunday, 6/17) around 2:45pm. I did a quick wave, but there was a LOT of traffic at the time so it's easy to miss someone waving. I think there were 2 passengers in the back? I didn't get a good look.

86_ZN6 06-19-2012 02:39 AM

Bones36 06-20-2012 10:53 AM

Nice, I live in Novato. Hopefully I can get my hands on a brz and be spotted around marin also

BigFatFlip 06-20-2012 12:45 PM

It seems there's not very many East Bay'ers in here, I feel left out...:iono:

Hit 1000 miles already. Driving around Berkeley, Oakland, San Jose area mainly.

BigFatFlip 06-20-2012 01:46 PM

^Cool, One of these days, we'll run into each other in Oakland/Berkeley I guess :)

BigFatFlip 06-21-2012 01:57 PM

Saw a Firestorm on the corner of my eye this morning on my way to work going down Otis Dr. in Alameda (I think we were both going way over 25 mph, so sorry if I didn't honk/flash).

"Guy in a green van stopped at the light telling me his was coming in a few weeks", hope that was you, enjoy :thumbup:

Dang, 1000 already? I'm at like 640. I guess I need to drive more.

uspspro 06-21-2012 02:27 PM

I'm just over 600.

Rode my bike to work last couple of days... need to stay in shape despite the BRZ ;)

Re~Mix 06-21-2012 05:19 PM

Spotted a white BRZ near Lawrence Expressway and HWY 101. Was in my FRS and shouted out w/o response...

aphonic 06-21-2012 07:50 PM

For the record, I haven't seen -any- other BRZ's in SF. Any other SFers have theirs yet?

I get the strangest/greatest looks wherever I go in the city, though. It's awesome and nerve-wracking at the same time... Very glad I have my own garage to park the car in. Alleviates a bit of paranoia from all the potential theft. :)

Might have been me, between 1-2pm? I went to adamsons french dip for lunch and was driving in that area back to work. I was blasting music and thought i heard a honk but i tune it out alot of the time.

And yeah having 2 cars stolen while living in SF over a 4 year period, I wouldnt trust parking it on the street either.

Not sure, this was a bit later in the day near the Nvidia campus.

Trikle 06-22-2012 02:15 AM

Probably me, I work there.
