Nevada plates, sweet medium blue cab on I80 east about 2:00 PM today. Tried to catch it in my Carrera but couldn't <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> . . . Who was it?

Not me -- unless my wife took it out without asking me first and changed to Nevada plates..... She does commute to Davis from Berkeley everyday.... Hmmm....

It was being driven by an Asian gent who did give me a thumbs up when I finally caught up to him!

Hmmm, Joe ... this is not looking good ; I'd check out if amnesia or sleep-driving may be at play here <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Weird..... I must be turning into my evil-self and going off on a drive without me knowing it. I'm going to check to see if my evil-self has hidden a Nevada plate underneath the bed...

Mystery solved! This must be the same car!
eBay auction

wonder what the seller means by one of only 414 in the U.S. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/huh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> 414 cobalt blue cabs ?
Spotted: Cobalt Blue/Blue Cab I-80 East, Fairfield, Calif. - Mark - 09-09-2007
probably means 414 6 speed cabs sold that year

Hey guys,
The car belongs to me...he he. I had to get nevada plates cuz it would not pass california smog.

It positively wasn't me although I have a triple cobalt blue cab. Maybe I need to get out more often though.

BTW, there's a guy over on Rennlist who's looking at your car with interest: Rennlist thread

Nope, too much nox and no carb cert for the rsbarn headers. I could have probably just put a bigger cat, put the stock chip and taken it to a franchise smog place and would probably pass, but I didnt want to deal with it every other year. Oh yeah the car on ebay is not mine... My baby is well cared for and is a keeper.

Not your car? Damn.... how many cobalt blue cabs are floating out there? Between yours, mine, eBay, and a guy on Rennlist, it's starting to feel like a common color....
Spotted: Cobalt Blue/Blue Cab I-80 East, Fairfield, Calif. - mpiazzola - 09-12-2007
Damn, thought it might be up for sale! [Like the Lady of the House would allow another P-Car.] But it does look like a keeper.
Hope to see you again on the I-80. My 968 is in for a new top. So I'll probably have the only green/black cab on the highway when our paths cross again.

and the car on ebay looks like a recovery as the passenger door lock diode was popped. . . along with the spoiler.
