Looking at the NW spotted thread, I feel like we dont belong there so I'm starting one for Northern California.

Spotted a Silver 06 on 680 yesterday with "THE WOLF" as custom plates. Guy cruised with Sonny and I til I had to get off the hwy for gas. Very cool!

Today, I spotted a black 04/05 with an SAP wing missing the rear bumper cover on 280 in San Jose. We did a quick run from 60mph, it was over with fast, but still fun.

On Saturday around 11:15am in San Leandro, saw a YJ heading north on 880. Kind of looked like Don's car, not sure?

Today at 5:50pm saw a PBM that revved at me going the other way on Warm Springs on the border of Fremont and Milpitas.

be very careful if you are using the spare tires that came on the rim. If you can get some of the mickey thompson skinny tires that are made for those speeds. as far as handling and braking with those it'd be safer to ease in the braking and take the last exit at sacramento.

Saw a lowered PBM as it sounded great passing me in the fast lane on 680N today just before the Bollinger Canyon exit, around 8:45am. Didn't get much other detail, as I was forced to pay too much attention to Spazzy McBrakecheck in front of me...

Yesterday, on 242 just after it branches off the 680 fork, saw an 05/06 CGM with tinted tails. We threw each other the peace sign.

I saw this 04 TR going south on 85 hopping onto to southbound 101. Looked like a guy in his 40's with a handicap logo on his license plate. He had the taller looking wing over our stock one, not sure who makes it.

The g8's have a 18" wheel that is very similar to the gto 17. It come on the gt-non-premium package. The premium package that myself, Todd, and Ike have, came with 19's.

Here's a plastidip'd one



Maybe that's what the guy had. Or maybe he swapped on a set of the 17's. I'm no sure that they fit over our front brakes tho........

Actually nick is right. It's been about 10 months on the dot since he last was around and driving his car. Trust me I just am good with dates. :secret:

I saw an almost stock looking purple goat that had chrome wheels (though I didn't see them stopped so I couldn't tell which) heading east on 80 towards Sac around 4pm. Shortly shortly after I saw a red 05/06 with the hood painted with black stripes on the ducts heading the opposite direction. Unfortunately I was in the girl's white corolla and not my purple gto, how often do two of those see each other on the road by chance?

Spotted this tasty looking PBM here in Redwood Shores. An office complex next to mine. Anyone from the forum?
