Orange FD spotted in Springfield Va!!!!!

I am from New Orleans, but I was up in the DC area this weekend and saw a nice orange FD at a CVS pharmacy in Sprngfield. I wanted to go and tel the guy hello, and nice car, but felt sort of stupied since I was in a rental car civic!!! haha Anywho, I was wondering who was the proud owner of this pretty orange fd, with cf hood? Please let me know if you have any idea, because I would like to congratulate them on a really nice fd3.

thanks,
-josh

I've heard rumors about him being spotted in the Tyson's Corner area as well. I've never seen the car personally, but i'd like to.

It was a very nice looking fd. I figured it may be known around the area, because it not exactly a stealthy car. It is bright orange with a black cf hood and black rims with silver lips.

Anywho, does it belong to anyone here?

thanks,

I think i saw this car when i was out at bret de pedros a few months ago. poor guy (not bret) had apparently just bought the thing and it needed a new motor, turbos, and a vacuum job at the minimum... previous owner semed to have alot more invested in body kits and paint than in maintainence or the truth.

His car is red but has ALOT of orange in it, it could be mistaken for orange. and he perfectly described his car..orange CF hood, black CCW with chrome lips.

It's pretty much impossible to mistake Nick's FD for orange when you see it. It's just an off-red, so it's orange-ish, but NO ONE would describe it as orange after having seen it in person. Plus, Nick isn't in Springfield, and his car isn't on the road at the moment

The one I saw at Brets was definately orange. Creamsicle you might say. I forget what body kit it had. Looked like 10 lbs. of problems in a 5 lb. bag.
