Haven't seen either of your cars in a long time! I did get spotted though on 237. Got a call on my phone from a number I didn't recognize and it turns out it was Art from Sonic who said I just flew right by him.

Saw Fiel (BMWRino) on the way home on 101. Traffic was bad enough to allow he and I to actually have a conversation from our cars!

Spotted an Interlagos Blue M5 with Vorsteiner Wheels and lowered stance parked outside of Red Robins today in Foster City. I think I heard the car murmuring "rpi gts exhaust... please... missing section 3... send help now...."
