[qoute="drees"]Chances are pretty good that it was on one of the 3 other blue Pacific Nissan LEAFs on the forum (wsbca, bodengroden or Jimmydreams) - so which one was it?[/quote]

It wasn't me. My Costco run is today, and up in Carlsbad, not Rancho Bernardo (where I assume this happened).
Wasn't me either.
However, over the weekend I was convinced that I had chalked up two sightings in the wild:
Saturday afternoon I was biking home from the library, getting close to home home, and was passed by a blue Leaf - since it wasn't me, I figured it was my neighbors (zeroco2 - Mossy, so it wasn't them at Costco) - I couldn't see if the car turned into their street, but I took a back way and saw their garage was open, with the Leaf so I stopped to say hi...and it turns out it wasn't them I'd seen on the road. Sighting was on a fairly major connector road, so the mystery third blue Leaf wasn't necessarily from our immediate neighborhood, but there were 3 within about a half mile of each other for a moment there. I was so surprised to see the Leaf that I was waving at it before it even occurred to me that it might be zeroco2.
Then on Sunday, we were in the Carmel Valley area riding our tandem and I was convinced that I saw a Cayenne Red Leaf pass us and turn on to 56 east. The shape was right, antenna was right, but by the time I was concentrating on it, it was pretty far away. I didn't explicitly see a dealer logo in the plate holder.
Now, a few days later, I've started to suspect that the red one might have been a Mazda 3 5-door. And just this morning riding in to work I saw a Mazda 3 that was in a blue color fairly close to the Leaf, and I can't quite remember if I had with certainty seen a dealer plate on the blue one either - though at the time I know I was "sure" it was a Leaf. So now I'm starting to doubt both my in-the-wild sightings.
