ok--where'd it go?? I just went by to check out the Laurens Rd. Spa, and it was gone!

BTW, SC Highlander, did you just pass me on Laurens about 15 minutes ago? I was turning left onto Waite. Maybe we should start a Greenville/Sburg thread... ;P

Dunno about the SPA. It wasn't me that passed you on Laurens, but at about 1pm, I passed another Suzuka on Pelham going the opposite direction. I was behind a white Dodge pickup turning left onto Blacks Rd. The other Suzuka was heading toward I-85 in the left lane -- WITH THE TOP UP!!!!

Nope, wasn't me at 1...although I must admit my top was up at lunch. New client came in this afternoon and I just couldn't subject them to my ravishing "wind blown" look!

Have any of you other Greenville people had a wanker in a silver 350Z race up to you, rev like mad, then squeal off only to ride his brakes around every turn? I keep seeing the same guy over on the east side (Pelham/Greer/Taylors area). I've also noticed a slew of Z4s lately...and lots of middleaged women in them (no offense intended btw!).

There's a lady with a Z4 near where I work -- it's a dark red. I see her at least 4 times per week and I've NEVER seen her with the top down. I had a silver 350Z rev on me, but he was going the other way!!! We were the only two cars stopped at opposite lights on Roper Mountain. I got a good laugh at that!

I saw a guy in his late 30's early 40's in a Spa this weekend and a young guy in a Suzuka yesterday--and that's it! Surely there are other owners out there. C'mon and tell us who you are!

I had a very nice elderly couple ask me all about my car yesterday. They even wanted to see the trunk space! I assured them that as I am single and have no kids, the lack of a backseat and huge trunk isn't a problem for me!

I see a suzuka and a red S2000 everyday at one of the business on Pelham road near Scan Source. I know of 2 that lives in my neighborhood but never see them. One lives about 5 houses up the street from me. His is silver and the other one seems to belong to a woman and the car is white. There are a alot of Z4 in my neighborhood right now. So far, I have count 9. Only one is driven by a man, the rest are women. Not sure what the deal is here. Never seen a 350Z in the area yet. Only seen a blue 350Z that pops up on 14 and Pelham from time to time. If you were near Bailey's Monday, you would have seen 3 S2000 in the parking lot. My spa, my wife's co worker silver and a black one that just happens to be there.

Hi, Zangerzone. I live right off of Pelham so I'll have to look for the other Suzuka. Wonder if it was you I saw this weekend over on Woodruff? Greenville is eat up with Z4s and I've noticed most are driven by women.

Probably not since I am not in my late 30's or early 40's as your post indicated. These days, my wife is driving my Spa yellow. I will drive it to and from work and other things but she drives it when I am at work.

3 sightings in 40 minutes!

I left work at about 5:50pm and got on I-385 South. I was about 5 cars behind a spa yellow (top up) at the I385/I85 junction -- the spa went north on I85 and I went south.

I exited I85 at Mauldin road at about 6:05 and on the overpass, I passed another suzuka (also top up) going the opposite way.

At 6:30 I was heading north on I85 between Woodruff Rd and Pelham Rd and saw a silver (top down ) in one of the southbound lanes.
