Summer time brings out the 8's. Anyone in the area?

There are few that "live" in my neighborhood, Sexton Mountain/Cooper Mountain and I've seen plenty on the road. Exchanged a wave with a Shinka and ignored by a red auto w/MS kit. I notice a black base model black frequently drives by my house. Last night I parked next Stormy Blue (I think) in Tansaborn.

Anyone here?

 

I am a block or two away from you. I have the 05 WWP GT. Any interest in a Zaino order? I am getting low and was looking to share shipping costs. Monty

 

I have not seen your car around lately so I assumed you moved As for the Zaino, I was going the Liquid Glass route. How much is Zaino?

 

I am still here. I am not sure which Zaino products you want. One of my freinds and I need some of the polishing pads and did not want to spend $8 on shipping!!! I think the pads are $2 each. Zaino has a grat website.

I just did my wife's 2000 Acura TL and it feels like a new car. by the way I am selling the Acura as her new G35 arrived yesterday.

 

Hey, I bought my rx8 in Beaverton, then drove it to California where I am now. Those were the first 1500 miles on the car.

I grew up in Portland/Beaverton; a lot has changed in 20 years in the area now called "Cedar Hills" shopping center...

 

I think it was about $75 for the kit I got. It's a very long process the first time you do it, but it definitely looks nice. Here's the thread that got me sold (Jedi is crazy for the stuff):

I just finished doing it for the first time:

Wash the entire car with dawn dish soap
Clay bar the car (I did the hood twice)
Wash the car with their car wash soap and dry
Apply a layer of z2 and buff off
Spray and buff a layer of z6
Apply a layer of z2 and buff
Spray and buff a layer of z6
Apply a layer of z5 and buff
Spray and buff a layer of z6

In reality it was a much longer process for me because I did it over the course of a few days and my car was outside, so there were a few extra wash and dry steps. Total it must have been at least 6 hours. Once you do this whole process once you don't have to do it for a long time.

 

I'm usually speeding around Intel Ronler in a WB. Honk if you see me, I only ever pay attention to cars that are in my way.

 

Other side of town than me. I'm east of the Willamette, generally in the Clackamas/Oregon City area usually. My boyfriend lives on a little street that runs between Barbur Blvd. and Capital Hwy. so I'm over in that area pretty often.

 

i need to have a cookout sometime this summer and have all of you over. i havent had a cookout since 2004. im in tigard mostly

 

zoom44,

Sounds like a great idea!

Saw a few 8's yesterday on the way home from downtown. Coming out of the tunnel a red GT and a black kitted 8 with a personal license plate, 1st RX8. Similar graphics as the Cork Sports car but different color. Also saw Ti Gray at Cedar Hills.

 

I like that idea.

 

I'm on the East side of Vancouver now, but I visit family in Hillsboro fairly often. I won tickets to the Champ Car race last weekend including VIP parking. There was a VR 8 parked next to me after the race.

 

I work off of Karl Braun in Beaverton and live in Forest Grove

Mine is a bone stock '06 Galaxy Gray GT.

 

I am new to portland... 3 wks... just got internet set up last week. I live near mall 205 and work in swan island. nice to meet you all.

 

I work near Swan Island! Who do you work for?

 

Mall 205 isn't too far past my work. I work at Kaiser Sunnyside. So I'm usually there or hanging out at Robbie's store in Oregon City. Anyone need a good vacuum or sewing machine? LOL

 

I dont post much on these forums, but find it weird how many other 8's you guys see day to day. I honestly am lucky if I see 1 every week, if not longer.

I have an 06' pearl and live in the woodstock area.

 

I live in the Beavercreek area and there is something like three or four in this kinda spendy housing development right off Beavercreek Rd. Interestingly, there was only a lady with a red one that I met at a post office once when my car was still on order. Then I got my car and shortly thereafter Janet got a blue one that looks pretty much identical to mine. And then someone around last summer a guy with a phantom blue one showed up in the same general area as that housing development, and now there is a silver or gray one (haven't gotten close enough to tell for sure) in the same general area. Oh, and somebody out in the area bought a used yellow one in the last six months. I haven't followed them to see where they live yet, though. LOL

It's kinda funny how many there are out in my general location, because it is a rural area.

 

Saw new or new/used White RX-8 in Murray Hills on 155th today. Seen several others in the Beaverton area over the last week or so.

 

I have seen a few and I'm in the beaverton/Hillsboro area. If you see a Ti Grey with a young gentleman at the helm (what are the odds... ) say hello.

 

You know what's weird? I see every color BUT Ti Grey here. I've seen a lot of yellows, blues, reds, and silvers. In NYC, all I saw was Ti Grey. It's like the complete opposite here.

 

LOL I see a few TiG's around the area. Saw one yesterday in Beaverton which could have been 93rdcurrent.

 

I resemble that remark...

Was I wearing black sunglasses, listening to loud music, and have yellow fog lights? If so you caught me.

 

There was a driver and a passenger and the driver was wearing a hat (yellow or yellow on it?) by Hall Blvd and Albertsons grocery store.

 

Exchanged a wave with a nice VR with MS kit leaving Murray-Schools shopping center the other day. We definitely have lots of 8's running around our area.
