Default Bay Area Z sighting thread

Seems like every other region all have one of these... I'm just being un-original and decided to start one for the Bay Area...
Anyways, it does seem like there are more and more 350z in the Bay Area...

sighting
Silverstone Touring with Burnt Orange on 237 East bound Mccarthy exit this morning... wait that's me...

There is a white one now parking on the street outside my apartment complex in Mt View. Anyone here by chance?

I see many on San Tomas as well. And occationally I see this blue one on the 85 when I'm driving to work- it has a white Strictly Z sticker in the back window- I wonder who this guy is

Saw a CS performance two days ago at my apartment complex while I was unloading my bbq grille. I spoke to the owner shortly thereafter and he just purchased it that day. He told me he was eyeing my DB everytime he passed by it .

yeah.. i'm not the cool guy on the block no more. There's a DB on Alemany... a DB parked in Serramonte all the time... a CS across the street from Town & Country Billiards.. a SB around Albertsons on Mission Street.. and maybe my friends', moms', boyfriend might get one also. Also saw a brickyard with a nismo wing. ehhh... i guess more ppl to see at the Z meets.. also seen some on 280 Southbound and 101 South from Daly City... tried to say wassup.. but they just ignored me.. maybe its cuz i look young and they think i'm trying to race them

I usually see a DB on San Tomas, in the mornings. This afternoon I saw a CS on El Camino, in Santa Clara. It had a Nismo wing, rims and exhaust. Any of you know who this is?

Saw a DB on Homestead road in santa clara, Sunday afternoon. Waved but no reply.

Then while coming down on 92 from hwy35, saw another DB going to half moon bay. We waved at each other.

There is one SB in the parking lot of Novellus, I see it parked there every other day while I am heading home and want to use the small road in from of Redback networks, rather than 237.

Once in a while I have seen a CS in parking lot of ArthroCare here in Sunnyvale. I am in the next building.

I see Z's every so often, but two notable ones are from personalized license plates:

Redline - ISA(heart symbol)RIC
580 West (a couple miles before the Richmond Pkwy exit)

Chrome Silver - Z YAL8TR
80 East (right after the junction to 80E and 580W)

Any of you subscribers to this board?

just saw yet another Daytona Blue near 237 Maccarthy off ramp.

I guess Daytona Blue is the popular color in the Bay Area...
That brings to mind... time for a Bay Area Z poll...

hmmmm PPW and asian girl...darn I wasn't in that area at that time

Anyway last Thursday I was driving back from SF and followed a DB down on 280 (new plates from Stevens Creek Nissan) asian dude (I think) with glasses. I didn't get to wave to him to Hi, but I thought it was fun driving next to another Z.

Been seeing ALOT of Z's recently. Everywhere I turn, especially in Mountain View!!!
