Midland is between Mannassas and Culpeper on RTE 28. Tiffany and I went Whitewater Rafting in WV over the weekend and took the long route to get there... Some really nice driving roads off the beaten path!!!

heyyyy....nope didn't see you....too bad....it's always nice to see another one of us...

it was just a coincidence that the other guy and I were together for a little while. I was heading down to MD for my HS reunion (20yr...oh my) and I just happened to catch him.

first trip longer than 45 miles (my one way commute) in the elise....was good.....tho sleeping in the car on my way back was a little uncomfortable.

Funny coincidence because I was coming up from MD! Who was theother driver?

speaking of MD, running off to get the MVA to approve her emissions... hopefully there's no line!

Exclamation Ditto

This was probably me too. I live and work on Belvoir, but rarely drive on weekdays. Mine is LRG as you saw, so your managers may be color blind! Guess I should've read this thread sooner.

They are seeing a Titanium Exige or Elise, I do not think they would be able to tell the difference. If you are on here would be cool to know who you are!!

That is awesome maybe they are color blind, I would not be surprised lol! It is my husbands EVO with the tag Damens, so clever lol :P My old EVO had moonkin tags, i do miss that car I hope to have my Lotus back soon, but they said it will take at least a month to get painted so I will not have it until I am sure it has started to snow We should get together with the Alexandria guys when there is no salt on the roads!

I saw a Chrome Orange Elise driving on S. St Asaph Street yesterday, heading north past Columbia Firehouse Restaurant... (I was sitting in the garden)

AirCavHokie, I think I saw your LRG Elise the week I bought mine this past spring. I was heading south on Rt.1 thinking that I had the only one... and then I see this guy zooming the opposite direction and waving as he drives by!

Cool Spotted Again

Yep...that was me as well. I was taking a co-worker for a lunch-time spin down Old Colchester Road. Good color choice by the way.

FYI,
Clydes in Alexandria would block out parking for Lotus and setup part of the restaurant for a private party. The manager loves my car and cars in general. Clydes is on Beauregard St in West Alexandria. I drive the Elise there alot.

Worst case on the parking, we can squeeze together and leave more room for the people with the SUVs
