My kids have become quite adept at Lead spotting. We now have about six confirmed sightings in East Cobb of Leaves that are NOT owned by folks we already know. Three of us have 2012 silver SLs, and I've seen the following in and around my neighborhood:
- Red 2012 SL - belongs to the parents of a kid who works at Papa Johns...owners are quite friendly and wave whenever I see them
- White one...don't know the year... passed it on Johnson Ferry Road
- White one with the "Zero Emission" badging on the rocker panels. Driver and I flashed lights at each other, and I saw what I think was the same car charging at Whole Foods later in the week
- Blue one
- Black one
- Another Blue one
Although I am not certain the two blues weren't the same car, there were driven by different folks.
In a funny aside, I had parked at Whole Foods to charge up for a few hours, and I got a message saying my car had been unplugged. Just figured someone else needed the charger as I had left the "feel free to unplug" note on the dash. I get back to the car, and there's a note addressed to "Fellow Leaf Lover." The note stated that owner thought MY car was HERS (she also had a silver SL), and she unplugged it and closed the latch before realizing it WASN'T her car.
By then, she couldn't plug it back in. Funny that should happen with so few Leaves on the road.
Then I get an e-mail an hour or so later, and it turns out the person who unplugged me is my neighbor/friend from Boy Scouts who has the same color SL as I do. She wrote to ask if I was the one she unplugged. I think the "Kid Chess" magnet on the back and the East Side Baseball cap gave me away. Small world.
