    Seeing a Prime is like finding the golden egg on an Easter Egg Hunt.

    Finally saw my first one - obviously it's American since the Prime is only available in Quebec. BP Plus w/ Toyota of Bellevue dealer plates. It had no DRLs on but wow it does look aggressive when it's coming to you head on - slim lights (which look tinted from the front) and the spindle design in the front bumper.... (Only did a 2x take because it had no DRLs and it didn't look like any car I've seen before on the road. It was about 50 metres away??). It did turn onto the same street I was turning onto so I was able to see the rear as well. Pretty cool.

    I come across 2 Primes in the wild in the last week, one blue, and one red...and with mine that makes 3 in Northern Indiana...
    Heading back to Nevada in the next few weeks...will see how the prime population is...given the local dealers there had no primes when we checked...

    I think I have a better chance of seeing a total eclipse than a Prime in the wild.

    I see them all the time in the San Francisco bay area. I get a kick out of this and want to wave or say 'hi.' But the drivers of the other primes don't seem as excited as I get.

    I'm with you. Same situation in Los Angeles. The only person that seems to be excited is me.
