I swear I've seen more Zs around town in the last two months than in the prior 11 months of ownership.

Well my usual route is 9ish, 45 eastbound to 130 northbound into Hutto. Maybe that's why. Reverse it at 530.

Same here. Saw another Sport red headed south on MOPAC. Was in a hurry & they obviously weren't, so I didn't get to shoot a wave.

The problem with SA is the highways, a bunch of the curves are banked wrong. Scary if you're going fast and don't expect it. Well that and the surfaces are in a pretty bad state of disrepair in places. Nice people and good food though, I love visiting the city .

people are great, as is the food everyone just likes to take their time and check out the scenery. e.g. driving home from work yesterday = stuck behind a tahoe doing 40 in a 60. and if there's a wreck/hint of rain...baby jesus save us all.

Got cut off at the junction of 610/I10/290 near the Galleria in Houston buy someone showing off in a White 370 with sport rims a couple days ago. Almost hit me, as I was accelerating at the moment. Be respectful on the roads guys, especially to other Z drivers.

I would say that was me, but I have yet to see another Z and I would not cut off a fellow Z. I drive my Suv most of the time that's when I see all the other Z's. I do a lot of showing off though!

Nice looking MBk on Parmer @ McNeil. Was behind me at light with slow SUV in front of me. Got his attention when he came around me in the middle lane and gave a wave. Hope he saw my forum decal on the quarter window since I probably look like an idiot trying to get attention from a Z in my Accord (speed up, slow down, speed up in 3rd).
