SF Bay area sightings thread!

Disclaimer!
I hope this thread is okay to have here...but if not, please feel free to close it mods...

I see so many Porsches around the SF bay area, but never have a place to mention them and see if they're on the forums. A regional forum for Norcal would probably be the best place for this type of thread, but maybe this will do?

What do you guys think?

I'll start...

Spotted white 996 GT3 @ Hot pot city in Milpitas. Probably the owner as I've seen this car on several occasions there.

Seal gray 996 Turbo S at Starbucks El Camino and Lawrence about a week ago. Anyone here?

Just post the memorable ones! Or maybe just the ones you think might be on these forums (mods, friendly waves, thumbs ups, highway flirting (lol), etc?)

if i see a stock car without clear side markers, i figure "he is not on any forums"

if i see a car slightly lowered car with BBS or Fikse and somewhat loud exhaust, i figure its a rennlist.com person

if i see a super low porsche with shiny wheels and loud exhaust, i think to myself "must be a 6speed-er"
