I'm in northern VA, and see at least one everyday (it's the same one in the same work parking lot) and a couple others, but those are almost always the same ones. Compared to my GTI, they're rare, haha. I saw probably a dozen GTI's a day when I had it.

Its good to see more frs/brz on the street. And it gives me reason to mod my car to make it looks unique and diff compared to other stock cars out there.

I come in to Raleigh from the North and since I bought mine last Labor Day weekend, I have seen three twins on the road.
I've noticed them moving off the lots too, but they must be going straight into garages because they sure aren't on the streets.

I use mine to do a total of 80 miles daily in LA and have seen more and more twins over the past year. Thus, I don't wave and even bother looking anymore.

Unless, it's a color I haven't seen before, green, yellow, pink, orange ...

Well I mean, obviously. I was just wondering if it's as crowded in other cities as it is in LA. I mean I personally kind of like it, there are car meets around the area almost every day.

I'm in Syracuse, N.Y. Was one of the first in the area, bought in 8/12. There are some around but not like you will see 5-10 daily. most I've ever seen in one day was 3.

I see at least 2 everytime I take the car out. Which does make me a little sad on the inside that it's so common now. But then most of them are stock, which makes me feel better haha.

They're a common sighting in the Toronto area. I've even seen 2 Series 10s...although I don't know if they're the same one...
