A Small Group We Are

Gary Smith · 08-10-2010, 05:33 PM

I just completed my summer vacation travels. I logged about 6,000 miles. I saw only two R's both were Slingshot Yellow. In that 6,000 miles I traveled to Wichita for the GTO national meet, to Carmel IN for my HS reunion, to Onstead, MI for my wife's reunion, to Rapid City SD for a dinosaur dig with my Grandson in Red, and finally to The Woodlands, TX with a stop over in Bryant, AR. Red only went on two trips Carmel IN and Rapid City, SD. I took different routes coming and going to Rapid City and The Woodlands. You would think I would have sighted more SSR's. We are such a small elite group and we probably do not take our trucks out all the time. I am not complaining, it is just a observation.

I am like you always on the watch for SSR's. Rare indeed.

As someone here once said before, "I see one

every morning and every

evening".

There are many SSR's in my Town. But not many Fanatics. Only three that I know of.

On our recent trip to Colorado, we only saw one other SSR till we got to the rally. It was another redline going east on I-70 near St Louis...we were going west...he didn't see us wave.

HotRodGirl · 08-11-2010, 09:17 AM

Steve (husband) sees them daily in the rig & route he drives and always is sure to tell me about them

there have been many trips I've taken where I didn't see a one either (even on nice days). But then again sometimes I don't see them anywhere around my neighborhood either

and hell they were made here! I've made this observation many times....questioning "WOW I didn't see a one SSR"

while out.....BUMMER!

I wonder if we are seeing the same one?

Indy500SSR · 08-11-2010, 09:48 PM

I have not seen one in my normal commute in the 6 weeks since we bought our

. This morning I saw a

with the top down on I-75 in Plano, TX.

On my drive home, my wife called to say she saw a

/

on her way home (George Bush Turnpike in Carrollton).

As I was telling her of my

sighting this morning, another

was headed south at the same spot on I-75 with the top up.

Or was it the same

one...

we did 9States and 2 Provinces over 6.200 MI and only saw 4 SSR's on-the road.
first was in SFO at our Hotel (Redline from Tuscon) the next was in BC (yellow IndyCar going West), and a Red in New Mexico going North towards Colorado Springs. Technically, we saw the FIRST one (AquaBlur) taiol going West on a Farm Road at 120+MPH, thanks to MoodyBlue.....
Maybe it's the time of year we leave on our vacations that we Never See
Another SSR on the road! I don't know, but, If you Ever leave on a vacation....Post Your Itenerary.... You'll Meet THE NICEST Folks On-the Way.....

there is probably 25 or more here in edmonton alberta ,i've met about a dozen owners here.

IFytFyrs · 08-12-2010, 04:40 AM

Since March, when I became really focussed on SSR's

, I have seen:

1 driving in Kitchener (top up on a gorgeous day)
1 at a show in Alliston (not a computer guy, but hands his wallet to Dicktator)
1 at a GTO show (not showing...)
1 driving in Bolton (chased him down and exchanged cards...)

And that is it!

There must be more around, but I sure haven't seen them...unless you count the rainbow of colours we saw in Niagara Falls

I doubt if I will make the cruise. Sorry but I know Labor Day Weekend I will be free. Is there any cruises you all are going to be at?
