How often do you see Si's on the road?

It seems like I see them all the time. At least once or twice a week. And I rarely travel further than 10 miles from my house. Living in San Jose kind of explains it.

I live in Kansas City area. I drive a fairly good amount and in over a month and a half, I saw my first SI a few days ago. It was a GG one with some older dude driving it. He didn't even give me a glance. I was ashamed. lol

I'm in Burlington, Vermont most of the week for class or socializing or whatever, but I see Si's ALL the time. There's a guy in my film class who parks his NBP outfront. There's another one in the parking garage, all all the other colors I see outside of school, usually driving downtown or heading to my lady friend's.

I've seen every color but white on the road. I'm from San Jose too and I've only seen...6-7 SIs within the past 3 months in SJ. I went to Davis earlier this week and I saw 3 SIs around UCD within 2 days lol

I live in northern VA and commute 29 miles to work and I never see any Si's. People here tend to stick with sedans (especially Acura TL's) and SUV's. In fact, I've only seen one Si on I-95 this year. It tempts me to get a FBP Si instead of the Mazdaspeed3 that I've been wanting...

Mostly GG ones.

I drove from VA Beach to Allentown, PA. Then from Allentown to Chicago, then Chicago to Minneapolis. The only SI I saw was a reflection of mine in the tailgates of countless trucks. WHere the hell is SpecialRingPop? I've been a passenger all over the 'burbs of Minneapolis and haven't seen another one yet?

Once in awhile I would see a blue or white Si per 2 day per week. But every days I see more sedans in Houston, Humble areas in Tx. There a blue sedan 2007 park 3 space from me right now.

I've only seen 3 Si's (other than my own) around my area. 2 NBP, and 1 RR. I've met two of the owners (one of the owners used to attend high school w/ me), but the third was an older gentleman who didn't even acknowledge me when I drove by. Sioux Falls lacks an abundance of auto diversity. Everyone here drives either a Ford or a Pontiac...
