Question How many evos have YOU seen today?

Ok ive had my evo for about 4 days now and ive driven from la to phoenix and i kept looking for an evo to spot but i havent seen ANY! in my opinion i think it is a good thing because i always get stares and thumbs up and people comming up to me at gas stations and asking me what it is but i was wondering if any of you guys have seen an evo just driving around.

Dunno what day you attended E3 Nightfall, but my beautiful Tarmac Black was in one of the scalper's parking lots on Friday. The first parking lot wanted $25 for parking, and asked me to leave the keys so they could park for me. I respectfully declined and made haste to a less expensive lot that was closer

I see them on a regular basis down here though. Last Friday I sat at a light in Garden Grove (Brookhurst and Westminister) and watched both a yellow and white drive by during the same light. I wouldn't say they are common by any means, but they aren't all that rare down here. I see them almost as often as I see Ferraris (which isn't saying much when you're cruising Newport Beach).

i live in southern california and i still haven't seen a single evolution on the streets. oddly enough most of my friends who don't give a damn about evos have seen them and phone me while staring at one and screaming on the phone "OMG OMG OMFG!!!...i just saw an evo on the (so and so)." i guess seeing the evo on the streets get some people crazy even if they aren't too into the car.

weird...after reading josh's comments i think i just don't have luck at running into one. I live close to Garden Grove yet I haven't seen one yet. I run into ferraris and bentleys about once every 2-3 weeks. Probably all those rich people from newport traveling the 73 to get on the 405.

I live in SoCal. and have not seen one yet. I am always looking for them too.
Because I am a Realtor, I drive around the San Fernando Valley a lot but have yet to spot a real-live Evo. I really look around too. I especially keep my eyes peeled when looking at on-coming traffic on the freeway. This means I see more Ferraris and Lambos than the Evo.
The Evo is truly a rare beast to spot, that or I just plain am in the wrong places at the wrong times. Who knows.

Only seen 1 black one, that was weeks ago. There were rumors floating about that a black Evo was totaled in the Cincinnati area, may be why I haven't seen it since.
Other than that, only seen mine

Evos in so cal are rare to spot for some reason. There are many, but they are in hiding or something. I havent directly encountered one. I've seen 3 and all of them have been blue. But they have been going off an off-ramp, passing an intersection, or going the other way on the freeway....all about 2 second glimpses. My friends have seen a bunch though. I get calls all the time too. It wasnt until 2 weeks ago that I saw my first one.
