Who has a GG or ST Elise that visits the Paramont in SF all the time? I see you parking on Mission. I think you're dating someone there.

Red Elise On 123, NoVA

I pulled up next to an Ardent Red Elise (2005 or 2006), at 3:45 today. We were on Route 123 in Vienna, going North toward Tyson's Corner. I was in my 'Old Man Car' Acura. Your Elise still had a paper license, so you must've just gotten it.

I was heading to my shoulder rehab session - I'm at least two weeks away from being able to drive a stick again, so I was very envious of you! I have an '07 Ardent Red, with hardtop. Welcome! Where do you live?

Don't know,...on a public road, "people" can see you and that's OK...and now "things" can see you too....it's public domain after all...

It's creating a huge stink in TX as just after the appraisal districts* finished up with putting elevations and floorplans online, our legistlature enacted a law requiring them to take it down.

A few months later and google effectively has the elevations up with street view.


*responsible for evaluating TX real eastate's value for tax purposes since

2 yellow Elises on 85 last night at 6pm

You guys probably didn't see each other but you were really just 1/4 mile apart going in the same direction. My wife and I were in the carpool lane and I did what I always do (interrupt to yell "Elise!") but did it twice.

We were on our way to pick up our Newfi after TPLO surgery.

this post got me playing with the street view feature of google maps.

So I placed the street view icon on charelston ave in mountain view (at google headquaters) and what do I see? I bunch of google employees standing on the side of the road in green shirts with a yellow van printed on them. THey are all cheering at the van and holding shovels (? maybe that was the ground breaking run?). Way cool!

Silver Elise @ Santa Monica Pier today!

I was there with my Yellow Exige. It was a nice day for a drive minus all the accidents we saw.

I ran into Hal & Terry this morning getting onto the 23 N on ramp from Hilcrest. No way they could have spotted me in my badass red civic.

Sort of spotted. You (Pascal?) gave my sister-in-law Hazel (tall runner) a ride up near where she works (Microsoft, Redmond).
