23,250 US 993s / 234,000,000 vehicles on the road in the US = 0.0000993 chance of seeing one at any one moment in time. So how many moments do you have each day? YMMV.
Rare indeed. I see 2 (the same two) every morning I go out to the mailbox.

Three or four a week randomly spotted here running around the East Bay. Basically, who wants to drive them around town anymore? There's such a difference between driving any "early" (air cooled) 911 around town, versus what we all have for disposable pedestrian runabouts now why bother?
(On Saturday was in a silver 991 Turbo S sandwich while driving wife's BMW at a jogging pace along Marin Co. Hwy 1 to show vacationing family touristy things. So the new cars are out there serving as low speed transport.)

I spent 4 months in amsterdam last year, and saw over a dozen of 993s (wasn't my imagination from inhaling second hand smoke for the coffee shops). First, weekend there I saw 3. Also quite a few at the Ring.
In North East, I see 993 only on local drives and C&C, too. I see Lambos and Ferraris more often and 997/991daily.

I saw two on the way into work this morning. I would say I see a 993 out driving at least 3-4 times a week. Not unusual at all around here. It is much more fun to see the occasional 959 or Ferrari GTO on a test drive from Canepa though.

All joking aside, I believe the market dynamics have impacted the number of 993s we see in the wild. Over the last yr + when I talk to 993 owners on various meets (e.g. C&C, etc.) I often hear the statement: "I try not to drive it much to keep the miles low and preserve resale value..." I never subscribe to that thinking, but many ppl seem to do

There are a few cars by my office at Summerhill/Yonge that I see often. Unfortunately, none of the owners are online! Bummer, I want the #Toronto993Gruppe to grow!
