Me neither. I actually haven't seen many of either—yours is the first other BRZ I've seen in person, though I did see a white FRS yesterday on the freeway.

I spotted a whiteout FR-S on 680 South this morning, around 6:45am. Was lowered on some black wheels, tried to give thumbs up but couldn't see through the dark tint.

I've seen a few FR-S around, still have yet to see a BRZ!

Dark colored FRS in the rain with me on 680S at 11:30pm last night near Mowry exit. I pulled up to be side by side, in the right most lane. Exchanged looks then the guy drove off.

All 3 places in that little shopping center have very good food, worth a try to see if you like. Typical Weekend evening the parking is fully packed front and back.

Mama Chen: $40some spending for 2+2, I like their chef special " sensame oil pork kidney" and "stinky tofo", If these are too authentic, exotic for you, some regular stuff on the menu are good too, I did not pick any thing bad on the menu, everything is on the grease side though.

Mongolian hot pot place: go on a week day as the wait on weekends can be 1-2 hours! Go at a cold winter night to get the best feel of hot pot. Typical spending $80+ for 2+2. Their award winning soup base is so good that I seen a lot of people pack to go after done. I do the regular soup base but I heard the spicy one is superb! You can order both with a pot with middle divider.

Michelle's: I overlooked this one for a while because the above 2. this is good for a quick lunch or dinner and their house make noodle is soft, bouncy and smooth. They have all kinds and dumplings, potstickers, pancakes and rolls, all very fresh made. Usually We spend less than $40 and fill up good.

Sushi place????? I have not seen 1 customer there before, poor them, you want to try and tell me?

Oooohh!! Pork liver!! I like liver, i've got no problems with 'exotic' food. I've eaten snakes and field rats before. when given the chance, imma drop by there. I go to new port every other weekend for some dimsum, but will definitly try those two out. Thanks! And hope to get to see you there. I forgot to ask, were you able to join the novato meet?

Miss the Novato meet because of work. I was in Milpitas Wed evening for a brief moment.

BTW, if you order stinky tofo, be prepare your next table will stare at you strange. it smells so bad. Haha, I enjoy seeing the next table cover their noses.

exotic? They have deep fried pork instestines and pork blood too.

Haha that was me Had to get a closer look at the gorgeous white BRZ, second guessing my color choice!

Rain was really coming down last night, made driving interesting.
