How many Turbos a day do you see?

So I was coming back from lunch today on Harlem Ave and a Dark Silver (not sure of the color) tt passed me from the opposite direction, nice clean car with dark tints. Anytime I see a turbo I always wonder if they're on 6speed.

Anyway I see up to 3 a week.

Just like th others here it is totally dependent on area. I have seen 1 in 3+ years here and it was a 997GT2. I do see an f430 coming out of the neighborhood across the street every few months and on my buddy's Gallardo from time to time but that's about it around here.

I drive mine to Reston every day!

I see lots of 911s. Lots. But Turbos are still fairly uncommon...

Where abouts in Reston? Near the Town Center? Nice to hear you use it as a daily driver. These cars are meant to be driven!
