Sightings on the Road?

I’m 25 miles outside Seattle and have seen 2 other LC’s since I’ve had mine (got it end of July). Spotted one GX prior to that.

Unfortunately, I’ve seen more Cybertrucks than Land Cruisers.
 
I've waved! The lady in a MS LC was excited and waved back. The dude with the TD FE was a dickhead and just glared at me. What a werido.

Reactions: LC3
I gave a thumbs up to a gray GX the other day and no response. Got closer and it looked like some teenagers. Probably in their parents' car so they wouldn't have understood by some weirdo in a Toyota was gesturing towards them.
 
I am in the DC area and the only other LC I have seen is the black First Edition owned by my dealer's General Manager, LOL. However, I did a 3 week trip out west in August and counted 3 other J250s out there. Two were going the other direction. I passed the third heading east on I-90 in North Dakota. It was a brand new white LC with temporary tags. We pulled up even and waved at the couple and they waved back when they realized what we were driving.
 
They’re definitely getting more common around Austin. Saw a new wind chill pearl LC just yesterday, that’s a really nice looking color in person.
 
They seem to be multiplying rapidly in Houston... there are 3 in my neighborhood (including mine) and there's another white 1958 I see that must work at a local restaurant, always see it parked there

Seen a handful of GXs also, probably more of those than LCs
 
Traildust owner here. I’ve been advised by friends there is another Traildust wandering about town. I’ve only seen a Meteor Shower parked at the train station and passed by a few GXs.
 
Saw a Traildust FE last week. That's it other than the four I've seen on dealer lots(excluding mine!). Saw four GX500s today. This is all around North Atlanta.
 
I’ve driven 2,000 miles since taking delivery in early July. Went from CT to NC (Outer Banks)—1,400 round trip—and even though I was looking intently, did not see a single other LC. Spotted one in Fairfield County (Heritage Blue) and the local dealer has a 1958 in Meteor Shower.

I think I like it like this. Plus, every Jeep, Bronco, and Defender owner seems to crane their neck to get a good look at mine.

Saw the first on the road Sunday that wasn’t mine. A beautiful Heritage Blue FE heading west on Rt. 104 in Webster, NY. I was in my old Defender so didn’t try to get his attention. Hoping to see more this weekend on a trip to Dayton, OH.

Before I picked mine up in the last week of August, I'd seen 1-2. But since, I've been seeing them more and more, maybe 3-5 spottings. It is getting way more attention than I expected. Maybe half the time I park in public someone asks about it. A dude on a motorcycle waved me down at the stoplight to talk about just this weekend.

I am in OC and have been seeing more. I may have been one of the first in the OC area (Purchased May 4). None that are modified though. I get stopped and asked questions all the time. I also catch people in parking lots taking photos of it. I guess it comes with the territory now. I wonder how garbage truck, I mean, Cyber Truck owners feel...?

I saw the 1st one that wasn't mine in Elizabeth City, NC just over a month ago when I was taking my son back to college. It was a white LC edition. Got my Trail Dust Aug 31st and saw my 1st in Greensboro on 40 it was a 1958 meteor shower. Saw a Black one on the way to work on the back roads the other day. I gave a big wave and they looked at me like I was a nutter, oh well. We all can't be cool I guess.

Turns out the black 1 I saw belongs to someone in my neighborhood, it is a FE.
 
I haven’t seen any in my area. The other night, though, I was noticing a truck following closely behind me and I remarked to my husband that he can just pass, I was already going as fast as I was going to. Then he turns on his brights for a couple of seconds and then turns them off and backs away a bit. I figured he was trying to see what truck he was behind.
 
This afternoon another meteor shower with Pa tags on Grove street in Cherry Hill NJ. I couldn’t get their attention I was sitting at the traffic light when they zipped on by.
 
I've been seeing one GX almost every day for the last week or so.

Not a single LC yet.
