    Radiant Red parked on University Avenue in front of Haagen Dazs. Likely the same car as here.

    Hard to know. Radiant Red is a popular color. The reason I figured this is the same car spotted in downtown Mountain View is because of the seats and the front plate mount.

    Signature Green spotted in Woodside. Likely one of the two above (Steve Jurvetson's).

    Saw a Very Orange on Foothill around 7:15pm. It did a u-turn at Arastradero and headed back south.

    In case you didn't know, Doug just searches Flickr for photos other people took of Roadsters. They attract enough attention that it is fairly common for someone (random) to take a picture and upload it since the cars are so rare (and so cool) right now. Other than stopping by the MP store now and then I don't think Doug is going out of his way to try to track down any Roadster owners. We also seemed to have given up "who is getting which Roadster". It was interesting when the first batches were being touted by celebrities that wanted to make a big deal out of it, but that "phase" is over as far as I am concerned.

    Yeah, I know that. Doug has better things to do than follow Teslas around all day. It was just a joke, hence the smiley face.
