    I think is going to be a while before I see another PiP in the wild. Anyone else with a PiP within the DFW metroplex? I wonder how many PiPs are currently roaming the streets of the lone star state.

    I don't think I'm going to have any sightings in PA for a while. I kind of like being special!

    Might have been me if it's cruising up 101 N on the "sticker" lane.

    I was in the carpool lane at the time. Tried to honk and wave as I went past. The PiP's I passed didn't have the carpool stickers...

    Spotted one really close to my house.. maybe a neighbor got one??

    Winter gray metallic, Advanced model, Tustin Toyota paper plates, around 12:00PM today (Saturday 5/5/12). It was behind me (I was in a white Sienna) going up Jamboree and made a left at Patriot.

    Saw another Clearwater Blue at noon at Almaden Exp and Camden in San Jose. It still has the Piercy Toyota plate on it. Welcome to the neighborhood.

    Yay! First one in the wild! Parked on my own street, apparently attending a neighbor's party yesterday. Yup, I got a thrill - I am definitely a cult member!

    I was excited to spot one last Thursday on southbound I-5 at San Onofre. We were both stuck in stopped traffic for an hour while the cops dealt with a murder suspect who'd just driven over their spike strips The whole freeway was shut down in both directions for quite some time. Anyway, it was a clearwater blue with CA plates and I waved but don't think he knew why I was waving...will try the thumbs up next time!

    I spotted a pale blue Think EV driving around noon in Santa Clara but I've forgotten what intersection it was at. I'm assuming it was one of the cheap ones that are being sold off from the warehouse now post-bankruptcy.
