C43's in the Bay Area (San Jose)

I have never seen so many C43s around one place than at 1st ST between Guadalupe and Trimble around 7:45am and 6:00 pm. I saw 2 silver C43s (one was debadged), 1 white, and 1 black. There was also 1 silver C43 next to the hotel that I stay at. None of the C43's were lowered.

Since I travel to San Jose almost every week, I usually just have a rental car. This past week, I drove up my OB C43 to San Jose from L.A. and I was hoping to see the C43s again, but I only saw the one parked next to my hotel.

Anyhow, I'm not sure if it's true, but it seems like the highest density of C43's are in Silicon Valley.

Any of you guys on this forum drive through 1st ST between Trimble and Guadalupe Pkwy at the stated times above?

Just curious.

Next time I drive up to San Jose, if you're open to it, I would like to check out your C43. Since you have a silver one, I might take my silver C43 next time.

I have been running up and down 880 and crossing the San Meteo Bridge all weekend. I have a black C43. We should try to get a meeting/drive together since the weather is getting nicer.

It would be cool for all of us C43 and C36 owners to meet up and take like a group shot cuz those were very limited production vehicles.

Do you know of a good pizza place that has a big parking lot in Fremont? Also, can you check to see if the pizza place also sells sandwiches and salads?

thanks,

I'll definitely try to make it. I used to live in Newark (Stevenson & Cherry) so I'm familiar with the Tri-city area.
