Hardly any S550's in the DC/Northern VA area

I pass 4 on 7 every morning they are headed east into town while I am heading West. Plus there isnt a lack of 550s in Ashburn where I work.. just ran into a black Eco tonight...

I travel to DC every month and I've been looking for car shows on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday but haven't found any shows or cruise nights. Can anyone tell me if any are available, Mustangs or others/classics? (Sorry to hijack the thread!)

Actually, I wasn't driving so looking was ALL I was doing. They weren't there. And if that pic is supposed to represent close to 10% of the S550's in DC, seems like you're proving my point....not many in the grand scheme of things. I could line the Porsche's I saw on an hourly bases and make a similar picture.

Now if I hadn't seen the Camaro's, the earlier post about higher end cars being more popular in certain areas down there would have explained things.

I did say "not even 10%" You have to remember the DC metro area is pretty big and we reside all over the area.

While you might not have seen a line of mustangs driving up and down the road. We are here and you just have to know when and where that might be. Last weekend some of us were at the high-end Ferrari/Lamborghini show. Others were getting ready for mustang week. A bunch were out having a blast paint balling. Mod parties were going on.

What area were you in on the weekend. You might not have seen any cars because we were all hanging out opposite of where you were. Traffic around here sucks so smaller pockets of cars will group together for a given area and then we all come together on the weekends.

Next time you come into town, give us a heads up and we can give you an idea of where we will be and you can get a better idea of what is here.

Very few of the local s550s are on mustang6g.

I don't Daily mine so that doesn't help, but I have a 2016 Ruby Red Gt with PP. I've driven it 3 days this week (wooohooo). Just yesterday saw a black GT with PP on 395, had a little fun from the Glebe exit till he took the Seminary road exit. Thing sounded mean, looked like it had a Roush catback.

There's a ton of S550s here. I grew up in the DC area and summer brings out two things: bikes and V8s. People love their V8s here and Mustangs are no exception.

South of DC (SoMo, where people north of the Beltway rarely roam ;) ) where I live, I see at least 3 a day. See a Magnetic 3.7 everyday on the way to work. On weekends, in Charles County, I'll see at least 3-5 on my errands. Big variety too (even though I made the point about the V8s). EBs, verts, GTs, 3.7s all that.

Fellow SMIB here... I believe the V6 Mag you see is Zack ... he is down that way as well near waldouche......

You are right, Mustangs aren't popular sellers here in this area. Unless its a Tesla, Audi, BMW, Lexus or other luxury car - you're driving a minority...

I have a 7 mile commute between Herndon and Dulles I see at least one S550 each way .

i saw four S550's just today.

I can't go a mile on my regular commute without seeing a 2015+ Mustang on the road.

There are about 5 in the garage where I work in springfield. I only drive mine when it is nice out.

Keeps it nice and exclusive! Also helps that our local dealers are ravaged by out of state buyers.

At work there are more Porsches and BMWs than Mustangs.

Always out cruising in mine, in between Greenbelt and Annapolis! Few of them on base at my work and always a few on 50.

Hardly any here ...

Parking Garage at work the other day. ...

Hey now I'm here!
