OK, Who was it? (Sighting in WA State)

Driving home from work yesterday I saw a grey Starion NB on the 405 between Bellevue and Bothell areound 7pm. Idaho plates on the car. I drove past you on your left and gave you the thumbs up from my Turbo MR2.

 

Starions are a very rare sight in the PNW. Not so rare in other parts of the country but I think in the almost 3 years I've been living out here this is only the 3rd or 4th Starquest I've seen... period. Meets and casual driving combined.

 

Put a big smile on my face. I was smiling the rest of the way home :)

Hahaha, yeah I geeked the f* out when I saw that thing up on the expressway ahead of me. I can recognize that tail from a mile away. I leaned over my steering wheel and was like... NO WAY... *downshift in to 4th... turbo spool...* and caught up to him and threw up the peace sign. The car seemed as if it was in relatively good condition too. Chin spoiler had a bit of damage and made the car out to be a pre-88 widebody

 

Prior to moving to the PNW I spent about 2 years in Dallas. Now that was a whole other story. There are so many Starquests in Texas it's crazy. I saw a handfull a week out there. It was a real trip. Texas is like Florida for Starquests. It's where they all go to retire! LOL!

hachi_destroyer - Do you live in Spokane? Im from spokane too, but just left to go off the school on Saturday. But the day before i left, I saw two starquests. A clean looking white one being stored behind someone's house in Hillyard, and a red one downtown at the Wendys. Was one of them you? Edited by skyle22

I think it's more of a Dallas thing... The only time I see them on the road down here in San Antonio is when I'm getting together with friends with SQs. Otherwise, I've never seen one on the road, just one for sale once. My wife saw one on the road tho, but she didn't have time to catch up to them and talk to them about their car. I saw them on the road more regularly in MI, I think. Usually saw one every 6 months or so.
