Funny thing too, David, because I didn't even see popo until I saw this picture. I don't even know how fast I was going, because I was driving and trying to catch those two Laras on my cell phone.

That pic is great on multiple levels! haha! The only place I have seen that many Solaras in one place is a Toyota dealership. They are all so different too, gen 2's/2.5, green/tan/silver, verts/coupe, also I believe that is a Camry approaching on the left! :) Fun pic!

Jimmm, I think you just invented something called a "rolling meet". And what's a meet without a bored cop eyeballing you, eh?

It was a neat experience. I first noticed the silver one in my rear view and side mirrors and I wanted to take a picture of it then, but it wanted to get ahead of me, so I let it. Then I saw the green one. I'm sure some other drivers, who were awake, probably took notice of use three. By the way, the other two drivers were women.

I think the Solara's are such great cars everyone should own one. Now that I own one they seem to be everywhere I look. When I was trying to find one to buy I couldn't find one anywhere locally and had to go to the internet and now there is a nice looking silver w/ black convertible 1/2 a mile down the street for sale. Maybe everyone should in actuality own 2 of these fine cars now that I think about it................ may have to stop and look at the silver one........... hmmmmmmmmmm

Dude, this morning while caught at a stoplight, I had a gen4 camry next to me, and two more in front of me (so surrounded) and a gen1 solara behind me. I immediately thought of this thread. I wanted to somehow capture the moment, but when I pulled out my phone to try to snap a pic, my dad started goin into some serious convo with me and it didn't work out. :( BELIEVE ME!!!!!
