So driving from Boca down to Sunrise on the Sawgrass Expressway - ever since before I got my GT, I learned to drive with 'Gecko vision' - keeping one eye on traffic ahead of me and one eye on the other side on oncoming traffic - spotting for 05s.....

And within a 20 minute period.....

Spot a torch red VERT!!!! (V6) First vert I have seen in person.

Then a few minutes later, a black V6...

And not even a few miles further up the road... a Silver GT.....

Dang that's the most 05s I've seen in such a short amount of time.... and heck, I have only seen maybe three GTs on the road since I got mine....

If you kept driving, you could have seen 192,000 more of them.

I saw 3 GT's the other day (when it rained like Niagra Falls got diverted to the clouds above S. Fla) in Ft Myers. Made me jealous. First time I've seen more than 1 in a day.

I keep getting stopped in st. louis people telling me it is the first gt they have seen. I have seen one other. I am sure there are probably about 10-15 gt's in st.louis area, so does'nt really matter about the imaginary 192,000 which I know arent all gt's if they even exist period. Hard to believe 192,000, maybe by the time they finish building them in august. Not very many around here except v6's and there not selling that fast. Everyone want's the gt's.

Yeah, I get whiplash whenever I see a GT on the road. Talk about eye candy! V6s are aplenty on lots in Richmond. They're even selling them at invoice. Wish that were the case with the GTs...give 'em a year or so.

still no 05's seen on the road here. I know dealers are selling them, but yet to see any on the road. See this WB GT parked in front of someones house , thing looks liek it hasn't been driven yet, always in the same exact spot on the street. Even dealers here never have more then 5 -6 05's at a time yet.

Hey Sodaman,

Are you going to take your car over to the car show in Forest Park on Easter Sunday ?
