Dangit! I was giving it a day to see if the "other guy" would post here first, to find out who it was I passed. Prolly not even aware of the scoa.

Anywho, passed a black/blue heading north on Stevens Dr in N Richland yesterday morning about 7:30-ish.

On a three lane road, he was in the middle, I was passing in the right lane. I gave a wave as I passed but kept my eyes on the road as I was "hurrying" along.

Haven't seen any smart on the road for quite a few months until today. Saw a yellow and black smart around 3pm on highway in West Salem. Kinda shocked me to see one.

I saw one that looked like yours today, Dave. It was parked on NE 47th at Wasco at lunch. I left a note.

Now that the days are getting longer and there are some 30,000

of us, sightings are becoming more common!

Yesterday was nice - I saw a "busy bus" bumblebee on 205 heading north around... Foster? Later there was a black/black parked at Clackamas Town Center near the theaters.

Considering I drove 3300 miles recently (in my Z4, not my smart) from Portland to Orlando via South Bend, Indiana and saw absolutely no Smarts on the road, it's good to see one again. Or two.

Haven't been to Portland for a while. Saw a blue and silver smart pull off of highway 22 near the independence cutoff yesterday around 5pm.

Parked on the street in Portland at NW 12th & Hoyt yesterday afternoon and when I got out of the car I noticed another red and black in the parking lot across the street with the license plate "SMRT ME".

8am this morning, a bumblebee crossed my path on SW Broadway at Alder in Portland. I was a half-block up Alder, though, so I doubt they saw me.

In the afternoon, on my way back into town, another yellow smart was outbound on SE Belmont about 30th. We waved.

About 11:45 this morning, took the eastbound ramp onto I84 at 39th Avenue in Portland and a virtual twin to my red/black cabrio was three cars ahead of me in the fast lane. It had a custom plate but I couldn't get close enough to see what it was in the brief time the cars between us cleared out before I had to make my exit at Gateway.

Just before 8am this morning, a silver/white crossed through the intersection ahead of me, northbound on SE 12th Ave at Morrison and then turned into the parking lot just past the Plaid Pantry.

Spotted a White with Black Cell Pure at the intersection of 126 and Hwy 101. The couple tow it behind their motorhome and are visiting the coast!! Didn't have much tiome to talk as the light turned and they went south while I continued west. I'm stoked, its my second sighting in Florence in a year!! Ya Hoo!!
