Okay, this is my car, but I didn't want to start a new thread just to post this photo, thought this existing thread was a good fit. Happened upon an ideal spot in the hospital parking structure today (note: sharp-eyed observers will note that my trunk is open, I was just about to get something out of it when I saw the lettering on the floor).

I was intrigued with the decision by the sign maker to say "SPORT CAR ONLY" as opposed to "SPORTS CAR ONLY".

And the more standard terminology around here for a small parking space is "COMPACT CAR".

In any case, for me it was the perfect spot. :)

The original Top Gear roadster is in the Bay Area! I came across a silver roadster in a restaurant parking lot on Friday. The owner turns out to be a former colleague and he told me about his car's history. I didn't get a chance to snap a picture this time but here's the pic from the show of it being pushed.

So fun seeing you at the restaurant and your "twin" car. We need to park them side by side and get a pic. I managed to park next to another silver Roadster at an event a couple years ago and laughed that this could only happen in Silicon Valley. Theirs is obviously newer and cooler looking than my VP19, but I love 'em all for sure.

At Devon PA SC with my Roadster this morning and saw this beautiful red Roadster Sport being serviced. I was told there are about 20 Roadsters that are serviced regularly at Devon. New owner in the area?

Spotted a Red Roadster (license starting 6HG) on the side of the road on the 22 in Long Beach before the 405/605 around 315-340p Anyone here?

We looped around to look to see if we can help, thought the car was empty, spotted folks by a tree, so looped again and b my the time we were back the tow truck was there.

Hope everything is fine.

So, @egross327 was this you on the side of the road yesterday? Or perhaps your buyer?

spotted a green Roadster driving yesterday on W 12th Ave in Vancouver BC. I've seen a couple Roadsters around town, but I don't recall seeing this one before.

only got a quick glimpse as I was just coming around a bend, going in the opposite direction. had to check my dashcam to confirm what I saw.

Ok, I was in traffic, on the Northbound I-405, just passed Torrance in the carpool lane when a Very Orange Roadster with a carbon fiber hood drove by in the carpool lane around 9am, followed by a couple of Volts and then a Model X.

No pictures, I was driving... in bumper to bumper traffic.
