From the time I started looking for a dsm I noticed many more talons/eclipses/lasers, only because I was interested in them and they jumped out at me in situations that they would have gone unnoticed before. Out of the dozens or even hundreds I've seen since then, I've only seen two or three turbos, though.

Jordan does have a point, we probably never noticed them since they were just another car, untill we became interested.
anyhow, there are like NO true DSM's. 95% of them are NT's w/ plastic wheel covers, no ground FX, and bone stock. there are like 1% riced out NT's, 1G and 2G... like the black GS i saw the other day, w/ a double decker wing, chrome applique rocker panel covers, sparkle tint, fart tip, and the unmistakable sound of an automatic shift pattern. only 0.5% of the REAL DSM"s are driving around, the rest of them are Real DSM's that are at home, broken. cuz that really explains why i Never see a true DSM.. Spotting a Turbo DSM, much less an AWD DSM less common than Viper sightings... more along the commonality (is that even a word?) of Ferarri/Lambo sightings.

I've seen a few 1G AWDs, gotta look real careful, especially for the gas tank
if it dips down right in front of the back bumper, boom, AWD
AWD gas tanks are below the trunk

It seems everywhere I go I see an eclipse. Most of them are N/T and none have mods. You get the occasional rice. Also I dont think Ive ever seen a turbo 1st gen. modded ever around new tampa. Maybe I seem to see them a lot b/c I am always looking for them...

You gotta check in the Temple Terrace area... bunch of racers over there, may probably see one or two DSMs.
On another note, I accidentally ran into I guess was a "meet" last night somewhere downtown Tampa.... saw a bunch of Civics and Integras, dont know if they were gonna race or not.... I had a chick in the car so I passed by without stopping

i saw a nice lookin Black FWD 1G w/ some nice lookin 17's at least, looked like maybe Tenzo R's Shumacher's, something of that sort, and it had a big tip welded onto what looked like a Buchur Magnaflow exhaust. Clean, had goofy tail lights though, painted black w/ like 3 ovals on the top section, and 3 ovals on the bottom for light to shine thru. i hope it was at least a GST, but couldnt tell. this was down at the Doggie section of Ft. Desoto last, thursday maybe.
