I saw your Exige as soon as I pulled in. The parking man asked if we were together. Very clean Exige! It was a beautiful day.

Today (12/28/07) around 1pm on 210-fwy E/B.

Silver Lotus Esprit going really really slow... (about 40mph...) I think the car was caravaning with a U-Haul truck behind. The car was going so slow, I thought the Lotus was towing the U-Haul truck...

The car looked awesome!

Matt in Houston · 12-28-2007, 08:52 PM

Today around 10:50 AM, off of Beltway 8 and Clay Rd....You were at the light in a yellow Elise, I pulled up and said whats up...!

Nice car!

TODAY Dec 28th (around 330pm or so)off the 15freeway and the Cajalco exit i saw a red elise with the Soft Top on in the Stater Bros./Mobil parking lot, and of course i was NOT in my Exige but in my red xA (dd)

def · 12-29-2007, 01:47 PM

Saw the local 72D (second time) Brokaw->880. Going to SR? I was on my way to replace my HDTV with a bigger one, or I may have been there !

rcollum · 12-30-2007, 07:26 AM

Saturday, 12/29, around 1:30 or 2:00PM. We saw your grey Exige turning onto 606 (Old Ox) from Shaw, then onto 28. You have **gasp** a FRONT LICENSE PLATE! (Seems like way less than 1 in 100 Elise or Exiges have front plates, in my experience.)

Looked and sounded to me like a non-stock exhaust. You were having a good time, once you got past the traffic. We were in our Acura, but after seeing your Exige, my wife mentioned that we should have thought to drive the Elise.

ARedElise05 · 12-30-2007, 03:40 PM

CHICAGO AREA, Old Orchard Today.

Silver Elise parked in front of Nordstrom. Couldn't tell if it is ST or AS. I was in my AR parked a few spots from you.

FLuXeXigeS · 12-30-2007, 09:25 PM

yesterday 12/29-red elise again on temescal canyon rd by Dos Lagos in Corona off the 15fwy

lc_09 · 12-31-2007, 03:16 AM

spotted...

Aubergine Purple Elise parked on the south side of Pico Blvd just east of Bundy. Sunday (30th) at around 3pm.

lc_09 · 01-02-2008, 02:37 PM

back to back spotting entries... have people given up on posting their sightings?

well, anyway...
today after lunch (about 2pm) I spotted a CO exige parked on Wilshire (near 3rd). Next to the PF Chiang. I'm not sure, but i think the exige was without wing.

BTW...Out of all my many spotting this is probably my 1st spotting while actually being in my Elise.

FLuXeXigeS · 01-02-2008, 05:24 PM

yesterday spotted yellow elise from 91 to 5 interchange in buena park CA

PatrickShim · 01-03-2008, 02:55 PM

Today around 11am -- La Brea & 6th St. -- topless orange Elise (looked like it had some mods done). I was in my laser-blue Elise but I don't think he saw me.

jheberle · 01-07-2008, 08:16 AM

Reston, VA - Ardent Red (soft top on) on Sunrise Valley turning into work. I was headed towards Tysons. You gave a wave.

worxman02 · 01-09-2008, 11:56 AM

Bernardsville, NJ

Who lives on route 202 in Bernardsville, NJ near the church and owns a white Exige with a red bow in the front? You also own a very nice motorcycle and a blue RX-8.

I want to know as I drive past it everyday on my way to work and I almost crash admiring the beauty of it.

Maybe I could get a ride during lunch someday?

EDIT: its a bow not a towhook. Nice christmas present someone got.

cbelon · 01-09-2008, 11:59 AM

I have never spotted an Exige on the road and i do alot of driving in NJ. I always wanted to see one but talk about rare.

worxman02 · 01-09-2008, 02:02 PM

Where are you in NJ? Come up to bernardsville and you can get to see one parked at least. I dont know if it ever gets driven.

macdady2424 · 01-09-2008, 04:59 PM

I've seen several Exiges in NJ, but can't recall if I've seen a white one, guess I have though. They are around, might not see too many in the winter though.

How come I never got spotted and I drive mine (elise) a lot, even around there.

worxman02 · 01-10-2008, 06:29 AM

^^^Its just dumb luck. I want to see an ariel atom so badly and of course my gf saw one and holds it over my head. Grrrrr.
