I actually saw my clone drive by in the middle of no where. I went to a very secluded National Park at the ocean front to take some quality pics of my 8. Low and behold less than 5 minutes after I got out of the car, here comes a mirror image of my 8. Really strange seeing as how I have not seen another 8 in almost 3 weeks. When I was done shooting I turned around to go to the end of the park and try to catch up with the fella but he was already on his way out.

wow intresting vice, hell any chaparral/black leather with red ext is uncommon, ive never seen one thats for sure. and i notice one thing is that the white, yellow, and green are the most uncommon, you dont see em around nearly as much as velocity red or titanium grey(by far the two most common colors) followed by black and sunlight silver

I was stuck in traffic in midtown Manhattan yesterday in my Winning blue with temp tag. Going the opposite direction was a Victory Red with temp tag. Kinda neat to see another and be looking at him nearly eye to eye, red and blue in the middle of a huge snarl...

My guess is that deals on the '04s haven't hurt sales. I wouldn't have bought mine if it weren't for the great deal that I got (and the testimonials from people on this forum).

I live in the NW suburbs of Chicago and I was out for a drive on Sunday. At one point I was making a turn with a Nordic Green GT right behind me and another black GT sitting at the stop light going in the other direction.

I'm sure that there are lots more 8s out there than there used to be, but owning one definitely makes you notice every one you get close to.

Four weeks and five 8's on the daily commute. The G35c is extremely common here, S2000's rare, lots of WRX's and 350z's.

I have been experiencing the same thing! I used to only see a red on the way to work and every once in a while a grey, but today all off a sudden I saw 3 silvers within about 5 blocks on one road. 2 were the base auto model (had the smaller wheels) and one looked just like mine.

I always see at least one 350, G35c & s2000 everyday.

I am still waiting to see another 8 with clear corners and/or strakes, then I'll know there is a good chance they are another forum member :D
