I RARELY see other F's in my suburb of Philly.

Someone, maybe someone in this club, was at the light and next to me in Exton.

There is clearly a camaraderie among F owners, and I experienced some of the today with a quick waive and honk of the horn before we drove off in different directions.

If the unknown F driver sees this post, give me a shout.

I am sure this is a much more common occurrence in California given the concentration of Fs there.

I've never, in my life, seen another one on the road or parked (Denver).

Only in our caravans, which are great fun. Sometimes I'll be on the highway and there will be like 4 Beemers all around me and I think, "how boring".

I've only ever seen one while in my F. Never had the pleasure to meet another member... yet.

The ISF has been out for 6+ years now, and I've seen maybe 4 randomly on the roads in all of that time. All of the other times it has been either at a meet or one of the local guys I know that has one. A rare car indeed. I see an M3 at least once a month, if not more.

I am on my way to completing seeing an F in every color and it has taken me over 2 yrs to see about 5 in the Tampa area. If I find a nebula gray then I will have seen every color. There are so few that when I had my car in for an oil change the guys that bring the car around didn't think it was a real F cause they didn't think the F came in white cause they have never seen a white F in for service. Last month I did see 2 Fs in one day which was a first.

I think in all of the years of production I have seen 5-6 in AZ. Very rare. I used to get excited when I see one since it was a rarity. I am sure if I see one on the road I will flash and throw a peace sign. Come on guys..... we are brothers. When you drive a car like the ISf with production numbers that seem like they are less than a 1000 cars ( from what I have read on a thread) a year I think we can call ourselves a club

If you are in AZ and you see a well polished red ISF with plates LEXUAL1....honk and throw some love. I thought it was cool when I would roll up next to another LS460. The ISF is like a shooting star compared

Here in Saudi Arabia they're quiet rare cars.

I've seen probably 5 in the past year and half.

I hardly ever see another IS-F in NC. On a regular basis I would say I only see one maybe every 2-3 months on the road. If I count the monthly cars and coffee meet then I see 1 or 2 there every month. Definitely not very common which is nice.
