How many 968s are left?

Since the cars I usually like are rare (968s and Mopar muscle) i have followed many a driver of another car. i have done this many times and it usually results in a new friend with a similar interest. Most car people love to talk about their cars.

As rare as our cars are, it's a delight to come across another owner. No reason to be paranoid.
I have come across a few 968's parked in lots and have approached the owner and they were always very friendly and gracious.
Regards.

I've run in to a number of P-car drivers over the years at gas stations, restaurants and supermarkets. It's always a pleasure to talk about our cars and all of the related stuff that comes with them. While I haven't made many lasting friends from this, I've made a large number of acquaintances that makes all of the Porsche events a lot more fun. PCA is only really great when you're getting together with people you know that share a similar passion.
Now, on the "creepy" comment, I did have a guy in an '80s Camaro follow me home once when I lived in San Antonio, TX to ask if my 951 was "a real race car, or just one of those fake ones."

I've never actually seen a 928 or 968 on the road (other than events) while I was driving mine. I would probably try and follow them home and be their friend until the authorities showed up.

I saw one several months ago while driving on the toll road while driving mine. It was a white cab driven by a very well dressed, professional looking woman. She was in the slow lane (going very slow) and as I passed her I slowed to her speed and waved and she looked at me like I had just sprouted antennae. Thats the only one I've ever seen on the road.

Probably both. It's the usual questions, what model is that and is that a new model? No idea if they are asking are you single or wanna getta drink or worse.

Are you including an oak green coupe in Calgary (the one I drive year-round commuting from west of Bragg Creek)? The only other 968 I've seen is a yellow one with holes in the hood and patched-up wheel-wells (I feel bad for the owner).
