Cars you always see on the road

Since I'm nosy I want to know what cars everyone here notice during the long (or short) commute to work/school? As for me, I live in Northern California and it seems that I cannot go a day without seeing a Civc, Accord, old xB, Corolla, Prius, Camry, 300, Escalade, Aveo (bleh), and Dodge Ram.

I rarely see Fits on the road but for the first time I saw a a Blackberry Pearl Fit and it's sooo beautiful *sniff*. Also saw a SMART car.......hmm...not too sure about those cars...

So Cal here. Good mix of cars, nothing really that I would notice as being more common than the next. Civic's, Accords, Truck, SUV's, etc...Even see a few Fit's now and then because I work right by UCI and I know theres a couple of you here that go to school there. Seen an F-Car and a Lambo once or twice on my commute home. Heck I see one of my NSX brothers at least once or twice a week as his daily commute takes the same road I do lol.

Almost daily I pass a rusty W123 Merc 240D touting the positives of biodiesel in a big sticker in its rear window.

There is a CLEAN early Toyota MR2 I pass on some mornings.

Until the weather got cold, a co-worker was driving his blue and white 1946 Packard Eight to the office.

The rest of the stuff out there is a sea of un-noteable cars and SUVs.

What's your name on prime? I'm looking to get a Fit also, but I want a white one to match the X. Too bad no white for 08. :(

Yeah have to agree there kinda wondering why they got rid of white, seems like a basic color that everyone should have or at least have available. :confused:

Between Sacramento and San Francisco every day are a bazillion Civics. A ton of Prius's and construction trucks also stand out. Also starting to see a LOT of Ford Escapes.

Southbound hwy 101 near San Rafael I see a pristine condition VW bus every morning around 5:20. CHP is busy around then too:D

Lexus IS is the flavor of the month in SoCal. In Phoenix, lots of Kias, Hyundais, and Chevys. :)

I pretty much see the same cars you guys do. Mostly Civics, Camrys, etc. MINI Coopers are somewhat rare. The most rare car i've seen is a Lotus(first one in my lifetime lol). Actually saw one about 2-3 weeks ago when driving to work. I see Fits once in a while. Not all that common as of yet.
