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

I have never been spotted and I drive my Elise often too

Although I have spotted about 30 Elise's in NJ and never posted so I shouldn't feel bad.

You were on 164th st near I-5 turning into the Wal-Mart parking lot. Nicely done rear wing (low profile type) and after market wheels. No snow onthe roads, but man was there earlier that day.

While watching a 1 hour film about pinafarina. The designer of the 'birdcage' massarati at one point gets out of the office and goes for a drive thorugh northern Italy. His car is an S1 elise.

I saw a polar blue Elise with a softtop on 134-fwy (E/B) near Burbank yesterday (01/10) around noon. I think I've seen this car in the Burbank/Glendale/Pasadena area quite a bit (I think it's the same car), sometimes on 210-fwy. I always catch glimps of the car from the opporite traffic. Looks super awesome!

Blue elise spotted at El Camino Real in Carlsbad, CA - Looking and sounding real sweet!

Hah

I haven't seen too many myself. I've spotted a Red Exige (couldn't tell if it was an S... going opposite direction - might have been fluxexiges') and Yellow Elise along the 405 around the spectrum area in the past.
I've seen esoteric's Yellow Elise before. Could be the same Yellow Elise I've seen along the 405.
