Default how often do you see other 350Zs?

Aside from cars sitting on dealer's lots and those you see at an organized Z event, how often have you seen other 350Zs when driving yours?

I've had my car for almost a month now and can count on one hand the number of times I've seen another Z on the road. Of those, I know for a fact two sitings have been the same car.

How about the rest of you? Are you still a solo act or do you see others out there?

I usually spot one every two weeks or so. The most I've seen is two in a day and that was one at the dealer (guy getting 1st oil change) and one on the expressway.

Other than my own and one other at the dealer, I have not personally seen another Z.

I have actually seen more G35 coupes than Zs.

Working for an automotive company, it's becoming a regular sight in the parking garage...

On the road, I've seen 2 others in 3 months, since I got mine. One this past weekend, and Lauderdale75's at Riverfront one night. I still have Black Track envy. I may succumb to it if the convertible is released with the Track Package.

In town and on my commute I've only seen 3. Two silver and one Brickyard. I've talked to the Brickyard guy at the dealership when they first got them in. He was nice guy. And I've seen one G35 coupe. This area is more uppity than the Z so you'll see BMW's, MB's and that sort... heck, I see more porsches(2 911s and 1 911T in the neighborhood) than I do Z's. Oh well, just wait a little while. =) Oh, and SanBer isn't a place you might see a large amount of Zs(that's the commute part)

Outside of the Z gatherings, I've only seen three. One CS on 635 near the Galleria, one Super Back in Lewisville (this was last weekend), and on SS in front of the Olive Garden on NW Hwy & 35. My fiance said he saw a Brickyard not too long ago, though.

I see 1 Z every other day at least. Sometimes I see 2~3 Z's in a day. It depends on how lucky I am that day.

Like last nite, I was driving on Hawthorn Blvd. in Torrance, I bumped into a Daytona blue Track model Z. Nice Z.... had a little chat with the guy at the stop light. And he turns out to be a member of this board! His screen name is sakred!! Nice to meet ya! And nice driving skills.

I have seen quite a few in other cities.

I know there is a DB and a PPW driving around town, but I still haven't seen it.

Not including the Z meet in DC last Saturday, the grand total comes to one (1)! (If you include that I always look at myself driving past store front windows then two (2) )

Here in the SF Bay area, I've seen about 8 unique ones (and I see a couple of the same ones over and over). I still get excited every time I see one! It's cool to see how your own car looks from the outside. (But I do hope they don't become as common as Camaros!)
