There's a black one always parked at my office complex in south SF, and a silver one always parked at my normal lunch haunt in brisbane. Aside from those, I've seen 2 other silver ones at random while out driving (1 in foster city, 1 in redwood city)

As for the actual subject of this thread, I see a silver in Secaucus every so often, there's a woman who owns one (another silver) at the gym (she was a little scared when I approached her in August to ask her some questions about her car - mine was still a month away - I'm sure she was hoping that I was going to ask her out
), I saw Ed's paprika at the chip-a-thon (how come he hasn't posted about his chip? He was supposed to have it installed weeks ago), and I saw one on the GSP - black.They're not really rare, but it's good to not see one for days at a time. Plus, like Kwik said, I doubt that I'll ever see one with my leather on it, which is a good thing for all concerned.

2002 C230K Coupe
Steve H: I think I saw your coupe way before I registered for this forum. It was at the Dobbin Rd......Or maybe it could be another desert silver one.
It seems like there are more coupes than I originally thought.
Excluding ones that Steve H saw, I saw three more. I saw another orion blue one at Laurel, black one at bestbuy parking lot, and paprika on 295 BW park way. Area is all within 6 mile radius. That makes 7 total including mine and Steve H's coupe.

2002 C230K Sport Coupe M6 C5 desert silver
Harpax, I occasionally make up to Dobbin Rd and the desert silver color is relatively rare so it most likely was me. I got my car in late November. If it was an old fart driving it was me. I keep looking for you but since I am in College Park during the day and get home late, not much chance. Honked at a silver coupe I was passing on 29N one night but since I was late to a play at HCC I didn't stop. I've seen that one two or three time.

i figured that there would be a meet later during spring/summer (maybe at the autoaccesories store in manayunk) when tommy moves back. and yes, open to anyone else nearby in the tri-state area.

I've seen SO MANY already (besides the stock they keep at the dealer, lol). As in...I lost count.
Mostly in white, black, and brilliant silver.
However, there is an Orion Blue one that I see at school sometimes. I'm assuming it's a parent.

...dying to see that blue/silver leather interior. It's so photogenic!
The first one I saw, I was heading up to Atlantic Heights after picking mine up from the dealer - it was orion-blue!
Another orion-blue is parked in the lot of our apartment complex.
A black (or real dark something) one in Hamilton Park leaves in the Hoboken direction in the morning where I catch the Manhattan-bound bus.
And some NYPD cop parks his silver one north of the recovery site near ground zero.
Not exactly a rareity here, but enough to get looks and comments from the guy at the next pump...

I took Chem for the lab requirement, so I probably never saw you. You did say you are a Microbio professor..right?
