    Westbound on the Long Island Expressway in Manorville, a seaside pearl passed my seaside pearl. You had a license plate that read NO SUVS and I wonder how many Hummer drivers give you an obscene gesture? Next time I see you, I'll give you a friendly wave!

    Folks,
    Do you really want your local Missed Connections to find and read your posts?
    If you were the Missed Connection, would you want to read every post to find out its not in your area?
    I think not.

    I don't make the rules, but here's one that helps make an easier connection between both you and your missed connection.

    At the top of the post, enter in bold the first three items, then the rest in this order:
    Your State
    Your City
    Relevant Area
    Date
    Time
    Then add your message.

    Here's my example:
    Michigan
    Troy

    Good suggestion! As the number increases everywhere it could take awhile to find the relevant ones.

    Unfortunately, there aren't regional subforums where missed connections would be most relevant.

    I was traveling eastbound on SR 54 when I saw 2 magnetic grey, 1 black, and 1 silver pine meca all on a truck heading for a dealership. Since I am on a waitlist, I seriously started thinking I should follow this truck. :D

    Well, I'll reverse it :D

    I'm in a black '05 with very dark tint, removed badges and just an apple logo sticker where the Toyota emblem used to be. I live in Lafayette, IN and travel around West Lafayette, Indianapolis I-65, 465, to Fort Wayne using IN-25 and IN-24 quite a bit. If you see me, WAVE! :D

    I was northbound on 127. You were at the 151 light in a super white Prii. I flashed a smile and backwards peace sign as I zoomed by.
    Good looking car! :)

    Did you manage to stop before you hit the shop window?
    Sorry I can't help it.

    I was the super white that waved. I finally got into the moving lane!
    Your car looks great, just like mine. My son was in front of me in his grey Escape Hybrid and I think you got in behind me. We had a hybrid convoy!

    Super white rules!:)

    There's a twin to my Barcelona Beauty that I have seen multiple times while running errands on the weekend. What good taste you have to chose Barcelona Red!

    We both turned onto 127 (northbound) at the same time.
    You were in a silver, mine was blue.

    Sorry I didn't look over and wave. I had a hard exterior (poker face) to maintain. was playing my bass music. Those two go hand in hand.

    But I saw ya! LOL
