Do you remember a Honda with Delaware tags and a sticker that says "Someone in Texas Loves Me?" That was us... the TG had orange corners, stock exhaust, front plates & no spoiler. We followed him from 30 down to Bryant Irvin to 20. We turned and he kept going...
OMG, you thought that was Chris??? Tsk Tsk!!!

From far away the back look shaved! And it was coming from the direction of your house! And I thought it was Tuesday and that it was you headed to RD's! When we got up closer and saw the stock back end we realized it wasn't you. SORRY!!!

That might have been me!! I have no front plate and clear corners. If it was Memorial Day it probably was.

Sorry I just discovered this thread...

Whoop!! Finally found someone. Yep, woulda been the Monday before Memorial Day. Very cool, do you live around there? My parents and my grandmother live out that way. I was the nordic green going the other direction toward the dam, stuck behind some other slow car.

I faintly remember seeing a Nordic Green because it's the only one in that color I've seen so far. I live in Waco and went through China Spring and Whitney to pick up friends on the way to Dallas.

I bet you've been to Lake Whitney a few times, then. It's a nice area and I've been camping there a couple of times. I love crossing that dam in my car, it makes me want to run flat out across it but luckly the slow traffic always prevents this urge. Watch the cops in that area - they are tricky.

LOL, I was actually headed to China Spring that day. BTW, just in case you didn't know about it, there is a small highway that cuts between Waco and China Spring that is awesome for opening up the car that is right off of hwy 56 (not the curvy road that runs through China Spring, but if you are going toward Whitney Dam on 56 from China Spring, you turn right at the blinking yellow light). I am not sure where you end up at Waco, but I know it gets you there. Worth looking into driving if you haven't had the chance. Just a long, hilly, mostly straight road with a long field of vision and minimal traffic.

Yeah, I grew up hanging out on Lake Whitney. That was THE place to go on a hot summer day when I was in High School.

Tuesday night (8:30) in Plano in the Razoo's parking lot at Tollway & Parker, spotted a black auto with orange corners. I parked my NG right next to ya while I went and saw Superman Returns.

LOL, Thanks Jenkins.

Spotted TG pulling onto Bryant Irvin last night around 8pm. It was a guy drinking a soda in a styrofoam cup. Oramge corners, OEM spoiler, strakes, stock wheels.

Who went to Pei Wei last night...?? Spotted black parked at Pei Wei around 8:15pm. OEM spoiler, clear corners, no strakes, stock wheels.

Ok, lets see if I can remember some of them. On Friday between 4:30p.m. and 7:30p.m. TG in Waxahachie at Brown St. and 287, lady driving, wasn't too happy to see me pull up behind her. Blue on I35E going N between Waxahachie and Hillsboro. Another (can't remember color) on I35 going N on the south side of Waco. Another blue (I think) on 190 between Temple and Killeen going East. Another two 8s, can't remember all the colors at this point (yellow, gray, silver, or blue) on 190 in Lampasas. I tried to wave at everyone that I saw, but got lost on color after about the first three that I saw. Oh yeah, on Saturday in Fredericksburg at about 5:45p.m. a white one downtown across from "The Brewery" restaurant. I think I counted a total of 8 in one day in about a three hour period, but I had no clue what city I was close to most of the time.

I didn't see any at all coming back home, crazy how many I saw on the way to Fredericksburg. Here are the roads I traveled, just in case I missed anyone. I35 South from Dallas to Temple. 190 West in Temple going to Lampasas. 281 South from Lampasas to Johnson City and 290 West into Fredericksburg from Johnson City.

I had to post it, it was too crazy for me too. I never see any 8's around here and I rarely see anyone when I am out and about in DFW. Nuts that I saw 8 in one day and basically most of them were on roads that I had never been on before.

Spotted a black GT with Enki wheels and a Texas Tech license plate; now we are up to 4 in our work parking lot. Then Big O'Lundh's is parked about 300 yards away, and a BB with a Mazdaspeed front end in the other parking lot. 6 RX's within 1/8 of a mile from each other.

I saw 1 grey and 2 other winning blue's at grapevine mills tonight. 1 WB had some bling bling chrome wheels and grill and the other one looked stock with just appearance package and factory wing, no rotary accent.

The black with the Texas Tech plates works in our building. Planning on tagging it once more BBQ information is available.
