Default OT: ITR sighting in San Jose, CA

I was driving home from work around 7:30pm and noticed a PY ITR on 280 heading south...anyone here, if so HI!!! Also, you were the first to honk at me to get my attention.
-Chuck-
P.S. I know it is way out of topic in a tech forum but I just thought that another ITR owner honking to get my attention was neat...

I was on 280 at that time, but I didn't honk or flash you, so it wasn't me, but I saw another R too... Mine's PY..

The driver of the ITR i saw was a lady...however, I do remember seeing a PY ITR with no exterior mods, as far as I can tell, but that was a long time ago...
I drive on 280 everyday, even on the weekend sometimes, maybe I will see you next time, I'll be sure to wave...my ITR is bone stock except for HIDs(I really need them at night, and it helps alot)

I was at the Pho place on the corner of Lundy and Hostetter at about 7:30pm.

What color was the gal driving? NiNeD8iNtEgTyPeR1109 drives a CW w/ Cp-035s and a petite asian gal drives a PY.

I, of course, drive a NBP...with a huge door ding!!!

LOL...no ITR didn't have a bra. It was bone stock with no front plates with a custom license plate and license plate #, which I will not mention due to the fact that it might offend the owner...

I don't personally know them. Not many women drive a TypeR and when they do, word gets around. I don't know what the name of the Pho place is. It's next to Chef Ming and in the same plaza as Goldilocks.

There are a couple of ITRs in that area. I always see two guys (college students) in a PY as I leave Starbucks, I see a PY who probably goes home for lunch, a CW near Cataldi Park and a NBP who I saw at Jack in the Crack on Main Street a while back.

By the way, what color is yours?

Alan

Hello NiNeD8iNtEgTyPeR1109,

ummm...no. I don't personally know you. I know of you because I was looking at C-Mac's TypeR before you. Anyhow, I'm up on SFITRCA and BAAE in eGroups. So don't freak out if I honk and say, "hello M!"

The one at Jack in the Crack was me, dork. You mean you didn't recognize my car Al?

where are the rest of you? You need to hook up with the local ITRCA peeps! There's a lot of us. We had 32+ Rs meet up at Oaks Shopping Ctr, in Cupertino across from DeAnza about 2 months ago. M - you need to make it out to more ITRCA meets too! It's been a while since I've seen those CP-035s

I saw a woman yesterday getting on 101 in a stock PY, and someone in a NBP/FBP this morning on Lawrence.

look in my sig for the local page (NW SF-ITRCA).

Chaz,

There are about a zillion ITRs in the S. Bay. We had a "mega-meet" in April, see below.
http://www.ofoto.com/BrowsePhotos.js...id=69177625103

Occasionally I see someone I actually know, and for some reason I keep seeing NiNeD8iNtEgTyPeR1109 driving around, but I'm never in my ITR.

Been seeing a bunch of Rs now...know of 3 others in Santa Cruz...CW, another Black (sometimes) and a yellow one. The White and yellow ones I see outside of Volks Cafe in Santa Cruz.

Saw one yesterday Soutbound on the 880/17 stretch...(I was going the other way: Northbound)

Don't worry about the door ding....I got a bunch of speed dimples (like on a golf ball--helps the car go faster) and a good dinger on the air dam after hitting a carboard box on the free way (long story). Just adds character to the car: "Everything is a wear item."

If u seen a PY ITR during the evening on 880.. that was me! Also, there's some girl that owns a PY ITR (probably 2000 model) that works at D&B in Milpitas. Her emblems are replaced with glow-in-the-dark stars. Anyone seen that car? Just curious.

-Buzz

P.S. HI M!!!

We're at Happi House every other week. We'll plan for it next week.

Oh yeah, if it has 5 lug and is loud then it's a TypeR...oh wait, ImpostR can pass with those reqs.

I usually saw a PY R parked at a small street near Saratoga Sunnyvale Rd at Sunnyvale.
I usually wave if I see another R ^^

The Starbucks on Old Oakland and Hostetter. I am always there at 7:45am. It's part of my morning routine.
