keep naming them, nobody ever stands up and claims these sightings. I finally gave up on it... Lots of TDIs around the Raleigh area.

Blue Jetta TDI in Smithfield

Saw a blue Jetta 2006 last night driving the business 70 in Smithfield. I knew it was a TDI even in the dark due to the Biodiesel bumper sticker! I was going to ask them at the next stoplight where they got it around Smitfield, but they turned off into a hotel parking lot, so that answered that! Yer not from 'round heer, are yuh?

Yellow NB on Edwards Mill Rd last evening. I've spied a cream colored NB on Creedmoor Rd a few times in the past couple weeks.

Silver Jetta this morning with Michigan tags at the intersection of Glenwood & Creedmoor.

'07 Jetta yesterday, late afternoon, following me down Capital Blvd (I only knew it was a TDi because of the yellow inspection sticker).

Hookstra:

I feel your pain. Makes me wish I was in Raleigh so I could claim one of your sightings. I have been posting Chicagoland sightings for quite a while now and all have, as yet, gone unclaimed. Don't get discouraged though, someday someone on here will claim one. Keep up the good work!

Last evening on Creedmoor Rd - spied a very new Jetta (I could tell it was very new by the new grill pattern) with a Yellow inspection sticker behind me - in NC, a yellow Inspection sticker on a "new" car means it's a diesel.

Sorry - when I'm around that area, it's usually at 1430 heading west or 0015 heading east on NC98 .

__. Hey, Hook. I drove I-85 to Durham and then US 15-501 south from there through Chapel Hill on Tueday. I'll wave if I see you, OK? (silver Jetta wagon)

I am in the area around once every month or two..will wave if I see ya. I always hate that it seems like no one ever checks the sightings...I like to paint the glass on road trips so I can make sure to stand out! :)

yellow inspection decal....

Actually all "new" cars fresh off the lot get the yellow sticker, diesel or gas.....it's only after the first annual inspection do the gassers get the blue/white and the diesels retain the Yellow tell tale....so if you know the car is over a year old and it has the Yellow....then yah' its a diesel provided it's not an excursion or some other big honkin' SUV or Pickup......;) .....

Or if your car is too old to have an OBDII port - like my 1988 Acura Integra with 233,000 miles.....

Ok on the stickers, I figured that out over the past month. Anyhow - Blue '07 Jetta TDI this morning on Creedmoor Rd in North Raliegh Tag indicated it was a "zero 7" and definitely had TDI stamped on it.

I saw a Blue Jetta on the Beltline this morning driving slowly
