I agree with the LA residents...
The last time I`ve been to LA I was suprised how many german cars I saw....
Just like in Germany there was a Bimmer here,a Benz there and every other corner a P-Car cruising down the street,with the only difference that the US owners generally tend to be more into modding,which is a definite plus imo

So when I'm in SoCal...I spent an hour sitting on Montana Ave. in SM (while the wifey was shopping for clothes)...I actually counted the MB, BMWs, Exotics and Porsche. 3/4 of the cars was a Benz or Bimmer. Always see at least one turbo/day. In Boulder...there are 3-4 that I know of and see around once a week.
Its been said that the 996TT is the "Chevy" of Orange County because they are just everywhere....got to agree, I see them all over LA and even more so down south....a horrible problem to have....kind of like having to look at all the girls out here....
I lived in downtown Chicago when I was in law school and I rarely saw anything cool, except when they closed down Oak Street and put a bunch of Ferraris on there....otherwise, slim pickings....except the girls which were extremely good looking...wholesome girl next door hot w/o a lot of the after market parts like they get out here...plus a much more grounded w/o the "head full of snakes" you encounter in these neck of the woods.
Oh yeah, we were talking about cars...

I'm very fortunate. I see one or two porsche Boxters or caymens, a Cayenne, or a 911, maybe an occassional 944... I NEVER see another Turbo, unless it's one of THESE GUYS coming to my house for a session on the lift!
There's a yellow one that is somewhere close by... i see the guy driving it a couple times per year... he waves, I wave, and that's about it... Don't know him, and don't think he's an internet ***** like me!

Although, I will take the open roads you have out there in trade for some of the forsaken gridlocks we have in here!
