Anybody live in a big city and NOT see a lot of Evos?

I live on the south side of Chicago (Hyde Park). There used to be a white RS around the corner from me, but now I can go 7-10 days between Evo sightings. 95% of my city driving is in the Chicago city limits. I am sure there are tons in the suburbs, but it's hard to believe that I can be in a city of millions and go so long before I see another Evo. Not that I mind being the only one around.

A guy down the street from me owns a white Bentley Continental GT so I see that every day. I just saw a silver GT two days ago. I just saw my second Mazerati Quattroporte of the week today in front of me at the car wash. I see CL 600 AMG's every week and too many Porsches to count. I'd kill sometimes to be able to give a to another Evo owner.

Do you live in a big city that's full of Evos or do you have to go days (weeks) before you see one?

I live in STL, and i'll see an evo here and there. There's quite a few out there, but such a large area for the city and suburbs, I dont get to see that many to often.

Minneapolis area here and I see an EVO maybe, every three to four weeks. I've seen maybe 6-8 people on the boards here from Minnesota too. Since i don't have one myself, yet, I depend on others round here to help me out but its just not happening.

Cool

suprisingly for around my area (crystal lake) il, not too far off from chicago, i see a lot of evos. there are 3 silver ones i know for a fact live in cl, and 2 black in cl. i have also seen 2 yellow ones around the area, 1 red, 1 white, another black and 1 blue. i always see these cars around constantly. i must say its fun to pass by another one. just looks so cool!!!

Cleveland is not only one of the crappiest cities in the US....it it statistically the poorest per capita. So, that all adds up to being a lonely Evo driver.

As far as other cars, it's a real snooser here too. I never see anything cool.

Although, contrary to my post I saw a Mercedes SLR McLaren tonight. Absolutely stunning, it's like the Batmobile, but meaner, tougher, and sounds like no car I've ever heard! But a sighting like that is EXTREMELY rare here in the snow belt.

In Baltimore, for every Evo I see (maybe 2-3 in the past 3 months) I'll catch about 5 STIs. It seems that Balto. is more of a Mustang/Camaro kind of town...
