I keep seeing a Silver 997 with the tag "GR8 SXS" at the Broad Run VRE station. Oddly enough there's a number of folks that drive Porsches to the VRE station. There is regularly a tan 924, a red 944, a red 924S or 944 with an automatic transmission (I looked), and lately a silver 965.

Going home north on Rt 270 yesterday, I spotted a slow moving black Corvette in the right lane, near the Rt 28 exit. I noticed the side ducts behind the front wheel looked a bit different. Unfortunately I was in the HOV lane, and couldn't get much closer. But I slowed a bit as I went by and could see the tell-tale "window" in the hood; it was a ZR1! Ironically, just before that, I also spotted a Red/White Ford GT going southbound near the Montrose exit.

Forgot to mention at the time, but TR just reminded me.... Saw a broken down white Countach on 28 North in Chantilly (just north of 50) last week during the evening rush hour. I tried to snap a pic, but a bus drove by and got in the shot just as I pushed the button. Lucky for him he was only a few miles from the Lambo dealer.

A gorgeous red 997 GT2 on M Street at 5PM, between Whitehurst and Canal Rd. I turned on Canal and he went up towards Foxhaul.

Saw lots of folks heading W on 7 and the greenway to get to the instructor sessions today. I saw so many as I was going the other direction to get to work...

Toby - was that you with the red truck and what looked like your boxster on the trailer?
