The Oregon Spotted Thread

I'm going to try and start one for Oregon since today's encounter was just too funny.

Today, around 5pm, on highway 99 east of 217 my wife & I crossed paths with a fellow orange GE8. It was funny because it looked like the entire car (front driver and rear passengers) were jumping up and down in their seats, frantically waving at us while I pointed and my wife waived back.

Previous sightings:
1) also an orange GE8 multiple times driven by an older lady around Beaverton and Tigard area, who would always roll down her window and exchange wave's with my wife.
2) rolled side by side in traffic for awhile on NE Broadway with a modded orange GD3, after the Trailblazers vs. Spurs game back in October. You had JDM LED tails, LED 3rd brakelight, exhaust, lowered, dark rims, HIDs and yellow fogs.
I seem to only recall orange sightings....

Post up your sightings!

That would be me; it was a good game, no? No lowering yet, it was just carrying 4 adults! I was checkin' out the new orange revolution color as I hadn't seen one of those yet down in Eugene. The yellow fogs worked really well passing semi's in the torrential downpour on I-5 all the way home.

Yea it was a good game, kind of slow at first, but it got more interesting when san antonio started catching up. UT vs. Nebraska yesterday was crazy!

Are your fogs yellow bulb replacements or yellow film? They looked like they had a nice color and pretty bright as well.

J L have you had any problems with your fog lights so far? I'm thinking about getting a set.

No problems after more than a year, I've done the independent fog mod and use them as daytime lights quite a bit.

I was in Portland last Saturday, but I didn't really spot any other Fits.

I see two silver '09 Sports on my way home on Cornelius Pass, one of which has a gentleman that waves at me in my '09 silver Sport - unfortunately lately I've been driving my husbands truck to work, and I really miss my Sport buddy!

During lunch, I spotted a red GE8 with what looked like chrome axis styling led taillights going north bound on US217.

Also spotted a SSM GE8 with a roof mounted bike rack and stickers all over the fairing heading East on Canyon Rd.

While rolling side-by-side down on Canyon, I chatted with a guy in a black GE8 sport, lowered on teins, and had red H badges front/rear.
