Spotted Winning Blue with Minnesota license plate last Friday on my way home from work heading Southbound on I-10 and Elliott Road (you betcha). Anyone here (possibly a new transplant)??

Spotted a CR Shinka getting off the West bound 202 at Williams Field.

He waved. First person in about 20 sightings. It's a miracle!

Easy-E1,

That was me in the CR on Williams field. I agree I think you are only the 2nd or 3rd person to return my wave after a year of ownership

Did you ever try the Car spa at Val Vista and Williams Field?

Most likely because I'm at work at 6:30am. And I get off at 4:00pm. When you drive by the Country Club exit honk. I'm right next to the East Bound on ramp. If you went down that ramp from Country Club (East) and looked right you would see my car next to the fence.
Oh and I moved to Gilbert, 202 and Williams Field.

That was you huh. Now I know.
And yes I know about the people that don't wave EVER.
Oh and the Car Spa is great. Use it every weekend. Nothing but the little hands of the workers on the car.

Hey, I walked out my front door and saw a BB RX8, it looks pretty sweet...I saw a SS on the I-51 going North as I was exiting off onto Cactus...older fellow. I waved and he gave a slight wave back...

Oh and Sue, I work at 40th street and Campbell (LGO). I believe I've seen your NG running around everynow and then

I'm at work by 3pm, and I head home around 8:30-10:00pm. I've seen you once or twice before I was on the forums. I also see a couple others running down
32nd st., forgot the colors. I'm never really out there before 7 a.m. other than breakfast with the girlfriend.

I passed a BB on the overpass of the US 60 and Country Club going South today. Looked like a girl driving. Hard to tell with the tinted windows.
But I did notice the license plate UW DOGS. Yeah a Husky fan.

I saw yet another Winning Blue yesterday as I was running up Glendale towards 24th street, I caught you at the last second, tried to wave but I was pushing to be on time to work.

I also saw a LY running East on Dunlap/Olive this morning at about 7:20am

Look for an 05 Black Cherry Shinka with Missouri plates in the Scottsdale area, in a few weeks :-) Moving there soon.

Thanks. I really wasn't sure about the color at first, but it has grown on me. I do have to say that the interior is still kinda "bleh". The leather seats are too light, in my opinion. I am thinking of finding someone to re-upholster them, in two tone Black/Black Cherry to match the exterior. Any thoughts on that?

Oh yeah: Funny thing about my purchase of this car. I bought it about a month ago. Went to the dealer to look at a 600 series BMW and after I got back from test driving that, they pulled this out of the detail area. I was like "Hey, I've always wanted to drive one of those!" so I test drove it down the road, came back and told them to park the POS BMW and bought the Shinka, instead, LOL.
