Couldn't tell, still had scion badges on it though -- pretty stock from what I saw.

Saw a black FRS at Montague x Oakland Rd in San Jose/Milpitas at 4pm and exchanged waves. Anyone from here?

spotted a blue BRZ on Skyline at about 8PM ... I was headed north in my black MR2, you were going south so we passed each other quickly before I could recognize it was a BRZ.

Anyway, I hope the guy's okay -- but how do you go and flip the car on it's side. I'm thinking he / she might have been doing something stupid on the streets.
That might explain the traffic I hit on my way to work. I take this route every morning.

Well the city decided to turn the sprinklers on early in the morning literally less than 50ft before the S turn. Completely slicks up the pavement. Easy to imagine a sleepy driver + sudden wet pavement right before the S turn would turn into disaster.

I once did a MASSIVE drift in my old E34 going north out of the S as it turns into Sunset there. It was a clear night, no one on the road, pretty dark, and I hit a big random wet patch near the exit of the turn. I like to drive spiritedly through that section if there's no one around, and that night I found myself dishing out a hefty dab of oppo. Been more careful in that area ever since then.

In the last month there have been at least two rollover accidents there. Some guy in a BMW flipped over and wasn't buckled in = bad thing coming: http://cmf.sfgate.com/bayarea/articl...ls-4495817.php

SWP manual Premium BRZ with chrome fender trim at Pacific Commons Century last night at around midnight. Parked close to the theater entrance, saw it as I was walking to my car. Looked very clean as in not dirty.

Brand new Asphalt FR-S near the Alvarado exit on 880N around noon. Excellent color choice.
