    Female driving (always nice to see) and guy sitting in the passenger seat. They went to pass me after following me for a bit and neither bothered to look over, much less give a wave, as they went by. Either they are jaded after spending a lifetime in California or I guess not everyone is as friendly as I am when I see a fellow exotic owner.

    When I went to pass them later, I gave them a thumbs up and the lady looked over and at least smiled. Guy never even looked over.

    If anyone knows the car/owner, give them my regards. ;-)

    Santana Row on Saturday mornings in San Jose (it's a shopping center near the intersection of 280 & 880). Santana Row is on the corner of Stevens Creek Blvd. & Winchester Blvd., or cruise down to Silicon Valley Auto Group in Los Gatos if dealers are more your thing.

    A GT*B* in white/black boxer color scheme? Can't be too many of them running around... I saw a white/black GTS QV on 101 near Palo Alto a couple years ago during Monterey Week, and that was the first (and, to this day, only) one I'd ever seen in those colors. It looked really good, actually - the amber tail light lenses really popped over the white paint.

    yeah I wonder how many 308s were painted in that color scheme. I saw the same car again today. I saw somewhere a while ago that there were only 5 (I think) 308 GTSs in that color scheme...can anyone confirm that? Anyone know how many 308s are in that color scheme???

    I got pictures of most, but really really really horrible quality, I'll upload them later if anyone wants some shaky pictures of each. All the spots were in Palo Alto across from Stanford. :)

    Sorry guys, no spots yet. Just a quick question:

    Are there lots of spots in Monterey, and where? Going Saturday to Santa Cruz and Monterey.

    Didn't see anything special today. A VW Phaethon was all.

    Fun fact: I'm staying at a friends place in Fremont, MC Hammer used to live right near here. Like, a couple houses down :D He has a sick house, as are all of the houses in the hills.

    I worked on a house about 12 years ago that is just to the south of the old MC Hammer Estate. House I worked on was stunning. Indoor pool, Movie Theater, Wine Cellar, Gorgeous Chandelier in the entrance, Fish tank bubbling out the wall of the entrance just to name a few memorable things. Tennis court as well just above the house was just being graded when I was working on the house.

    Have seen Hammers house in Tracy as well.
