Interstate spotted thread

How about a thread for Interstate's spotted in the wild? Bonus points for pics.

I'll start. Monday January 10th approx. 10am, Oklahoma City, I40 west bound at the I44 junction I spotted a silver Interstate in my mirror as I exited I40W to I44E (N). I was driving my silver Interstate at the time but you were about 1/4 mile back so you might have missed me. Anyone here?

Not me either...unless husband hit the road to Oklahoma instead of to Borrego Springs, CA, where he's supposed to be this weekend!

I spotted one on Intersate 44 west bound sitting on the shoulder east of Lebanon MO on 1/17/2014. It was black. I love the look of the black rig but I know how I am. I would be washing it every day!

This spotting actually occurred last October, but it's worth mentioning. While on vacation, we stopped at Wall Drug in South Dakota and when I went to park, I discovered a nearly identical Interstate, so naturally I had to park right next to it. I never did meet the owner, however. It was gone by the time we came out of Wall Drug.

Here's a pic. My Interstate is on the left (I think)

Wasn't us. Wish it was. Ours is parked in its garage here in Tulsa.

February 5, 2014 while doing my Wednesday morning run at the Pompano Air Park in Pompano Beach, Florida I observed a nice looking silver Interstate heading south on Federal Highway. As it approached and went past me I was thinking that it looked EXACTLY like ours including the bicycle rack and what looked like Florida tag. My heart sank thinking the worst. I ran to my car and quickly drove to where we store the Jodamobile in Pompano Beach. What a happy relief when I saw our Interstate smiling at me in the morning sun.

Very well could be me. On my way to SHOT show in Vegas and a short trip up the 1 to Santa Barbara. Have to check the captains log to be sure on time but date and location match for sure.

Really crappy weather coming down through STL, but we made it!

I keep thinking I'm seeing Interstates...but they always end up being company vans!

Yep, that happens!

You'll learn to watch for the AC and awning......even then, it may be a PleasureWay, RoadTrek, or home-grown rig.

We ran into a couple on Padre Island a few weeks ago, who had bought a 2005 Sprinter Van and made it into a camper van.

He built and installed beautiful cabinetry and countertops, and she installed all the windows. They had everything we have, but the shower.

We always wave, regardless. They're all kin.

Yea, they're like cousins.

Here's a pic of ours parked outside our condo this morning. We got back from 5 days in Palm Springs, parked her outside overnight (lucked into a parking spot), and took her back to storage this morning.

Spotting your own is kind of cheating, isn't it? Unless of course you expected it to be gone when you looked out the window…

haha!!! I don't think it's cheating!! It's just "getting creative."

But ya know what? Our neighborhood is cool, but is a bit on the edge. So, it was good to be able to keep an eye on her. And it's always nice (a relief!) to see her still there in the morning!!

So I was on Jury Duty yesterday (4/17/14), when I received a text message from my wife asking why I wasn't at JD. Apparently, there was an AI exactly like ours parked at a shopping center near our house (corner of Beach Blvd and Malvern in Buena Park). Was it anyone here? Who almost got me in trouble yesterday? 😃🚐

Flemington NJ - Went to my local Dodge dealer to pick up some ATF for the sprinter and found this beauty in the service lot.

Saw a black Interstate Thursday April 17, 2014 with an Ontario tag parked at my local Costco's in Pompano Beach, Florida. Funny thing is it was parked in the same spot I use when I make a Costco run in my Interstate. It made me smile. Wish I had my camera ... sorry.

Arrived late at night for my last night stay at Tranters RV Park in Washington NC. There was a silver '04 Interstate with a red stripe in the spot next to mine. He was unhooking all the connections and about to leave in the morning. This has been the only Interstate owner that I ever got to talk to in 18 months of ownership. We didn't have much time and I had a lot of questions. He did tell me about the lumbar support adjustment bulb hidden under a metal cover. This was after 13 days driving with a lower back pain. This was on the morning of May 16th. If by chance he reads this I would like to compare notes on other items and suspension mods.

Coming to a dealer near you?

2 new black interstates on a flatbed spotted this morning heading west around the South Carolina / North Carolina border.

Black non-extended Interstate with large black receiver-mounted box spotted on SR89A driving through Sedona yesterday. Anyone from here?
