OK, don't know if this has been a regular post here or not, maybe a sticky?

But I see at least two or three S's almost daily (N. Dallas/Richardson area)! Coming home tonight (10 mile drive) yellow at the corner of Spring Valley and Preston; Silver (couldn't tell Sebring or Silverstone) Hillcrest and Campbell...clear side markers (blinker was on).

I think it would be kind of cool to see if these guys/gals are on here and if not, to figure out how many are out there that are not members!

A funny thing happened to me the other day (about a week ago), I'm at a stop light...I never look around, don't want to encourage anything you know, but I love feeling the Vtec so I take off as usual, 9K in first, as I'm hitting Vtec in second I see something kind of red out of the corner of my eye so I don't push it and slow down...then, all of the sudden I see a NFR go past me as I slow down, all I could do is smile thinking, well, at least I know I could have kept up Then he turned into UTD's campus...good times!

I waved, he waved back...I find it weird that since the S is pretty rare that I see so many in N. Dallas, guess there's lots of people with great taste in our area!!

S2000's are not rare at all, I see about 3 a day just driving to and from work 20 miles round trip. If you drive around the tollway in north dallas/frisco/plano you can probably easily see 5+ a day

He's right... It's the RX8s that are rare... I hardly ever see one of those driving around. If anyone sees one, be sure to post up some pics.

Lol yea of course they aren't rare.

I mean most cars are only sold in the 5-8k range right.

Come on now you do realize that the DFW area is a generally well off area so you are more likely to see them.

Compared to Z's and Z4's they are way rarer

Actually in the Garland/Richardson/N. Dallas area, I see tons of 350Z/RX8s/G35s, but not many S2ks. Every once in awhile, i'll catch 1 or 2 a day. But most of the time, I don't see any.

I'm in the N. Dallas/Richardson area all the time but I drive a AP1 GPW. My top will always be down so it's hard to miss me. Stock looking car though. And I'll always wave if I see you!
