I see one or two a month - there is a 997GT2 that I see on occasion (white/black - it's hot).

Not many here in the SF Bay area - considering the $$ spent on cars here in Sillycone Valley...

Its been said that the 996TT is the "Chevy" of Orange County because they are just everywhere....got to agree, I see them all over LA and even more so down south....a horrible problem to have....kind of like having to look at all the girls out here....

I lived in downtown Chicago when I was in law school and I rarely saw anything cool, except when they closed down Oak Street and put a bunch of Ferraris on there....otherwise, slim pickings....except the girls which were extremely good looking...wholesome girl next door hot w/o a lot of the after market parts like they get out here...plus a much more grounded w/o the "head full of snakes" you encounter in these neck of the woods.

Oh yeah, we were talking about cars...

I saw 2 today, and on average I would say I see about 10 a week. includes 996 and 997tt's

In Northern Virginia and DC I saw a whole 5 in 9 years and 2 were at a dealer. People didn't want to drive them in town on the nasty roads and nasty place.

on a sunny sunday,I`d stop counting them...but it`s always depending on how long I actually am not in any kind of building
average day : 5+
but I guess it`s more,since I don`t even look too much after them anymore while they are parked because it`s so "normal" to see one

I was just talking to a friend about this 2 days ago. Out here in LA we're super spoiled. On top of that, my job has me on the road quite a bit during the day traveling to and from my clients houses which are mostly in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Hollywood Hills, Brentwood and Pacific Palisades, so I'd say I easily see 10+ TT's a day. I also usually see 3-5 Lambo's a day (mostly Gallardo's) and at least 10+ Ferrari's. Then there's the ton of Roll's, Bentley's and Aston Martin's around here. BMW's and Mercede's and Range Rover's are as common as a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry around here. When I went to North Carolina a few years ago, the ONLY two European cars I saw were a BMW 740i and Porsche 924. Everyone out there drove good ole American Iron lol

I see 1 other TT every day in my own parking lot at work...in cleveland... a yellow convertible X50 ... yellow seats.... I thought I was the only nut job to own this car in a city that is gray 55% of the year.

I usually see 3-6 P-cars per day in the Charleston area; mostly Boxters and Cayennes. One or two 911 Turbos per month if lucky.

I hardly see even an 911 here in my neck of the woods. Thats one of the beauty of living in truck and vetteville an porsche seems exotic. But I do always rubberneck past the Porsche dealer down the street at the one turbo they seem to always have in stock

I usually see 1-2 every couple of weeks. I've seen a couple of 997 TTs lately, and there is a nice 993 turbo running around here too
