Is it just me or Twins are everywhere now?
 
I know that I live in LA where there is a big concentration of them but still. I remember when they first came out I was lucky to see one maybe once a month, when I got my car right around Christmas of '13 I saw maybe one car per day or two. Couple months later and I see 4-7 twins daily. I mean my commute isn't much, maybe only 20-30 miles of daily drive, just wondering if people are experiencing the same thing in other cities? THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! I mean I'm happy that the car is getting popular but damn lol :lol:

I see some FRSs around, but they're usually the same people.

Seeing a BRZ out in the wild is like seeing a unicorn in the wild. I've seen a BRZ premium but that was months ago.

The real question is...HAVE YOU SPOTTED ME YET? :lol:

I was one of the first in my city to get one this past October (small town in south orange county), now I see them all the time. Not a bad thing though.

Before opening the thread I thought "must be from SoCal".

I've only seen three in the past year, but I'm in a fringe area outside of even the 'burbs.

There are over 20K FR-S and nearly 9K BRZs on the road in the U.S., mostly concentrated in 5 major metropolitan areas (LA, NY, MIA, CHI, BOS). There are likely AT LEAST 6k-8k 'FR-Z's in greater L.A. I think you're chit outta luck man. If you want to feel unique, move to a small town in hicksville 'MURICA and watch everyone guffah over dat yonder dehr Ferrareh, or maybe vinyl wrap your car in CF Unikitty print 3M Di-Noc. Otherwise the unique boat sailed for '86's 6 months ago in La La Land.

Chances are, yes :D But maybe we are still yet to meet on the road. I try to give every other twin a thumbs up if I spot one. I have a hot lava, and surprisingly I have only seen one other Hot Lava driving other then mine. I've seen a hole bunch of 10 series though ;)

In my area we only have maybe 5 including me but they are all brz's. I haven't met any of the owners Unfortunately. But mine is the fastest lol.
