I actually saw an R8 on the road this week.  Since it was a rainy day I was
in the urq that day.  I had planned to take an earlier offramp ... good
thing I didn't.  The car had dealer plates and it was three lanes over ...
looked pretty good on the road.  I really like the headlights!  The driver
wasn't going very fast, I actually passed him while I was on the exit lane
... I don't know if he saw my car, or even knew what it was ... 

That same day as I was leaving to go home I saw a car parked next to me ...
at first I thought it was a Subaru, but then I saw it had Saab badges!  As I
got in the car a guy came hurriedly out to talk to me.  Apparently he lives
near me and had seen my car around the neighborhood.  He was the one who
owned the Saab ... which is apparently a Saab 92x, which is manufactured for
Saab by Subaru ... 

It is great to have the old q back on the road again!
