So check this out.....I recieved my 8 on Aug 13 and I already had my tags reserved a few months before. My tags say "RX-8" in the state of Virginia.
So I recieve my 30 day tags and then when that was up I recieved my blue tags which means that I have custom tags being made. Today I look at my temp tags and they have expired with no new tags in site. So I have my tag an title department at work call the DMV and they say they made the tags but they are still holding them due to a drug realted issue. Apparently they believe that this is also a term for Extacy. However the issue has been resolved now that the car is avialable on the market. Since I reserved them so early they had no idea that there was a car out called the RX-8 and they thought I was using some code term for extacy. Go figure. Anyone else encounter this problem.

Its kinda funny after the fact..:)

RX-8 is a term for Extacy? Well, yeah. I'll believe that. I don't know if I would call it an actual drug though.

I never thought about the Rx/pharmacy relation till now. I wonder if the RICKRX7 plates on my FD have meaning on the streets ? ;)

So what if you wanted the plates "DRUGS" ? Probably go straight through ... nothing like being honest :D

At least you'll know what's going on if your car is continually broken into :(

Yeah, they'd probably reject "heroine" too. Land of the free.

Very true!


So this means that some people will see that my tag is the name of my car, and others will assume that I am a drugy!:eek:

I may just be a bit slow, or It could be an American Thing...
I still don't see the connection between Ecstasy and The car:confused:

My old plates on my Rx-7 said "NTHE RX" and I got asked a couple times what my plate said and asked if I was into drugs! :)

Its not the connection between the car and Xtasy, but the connection between the phrase "RX-8" and what that could be a code for.

RX=perscrption and 8 Im guessing stands for xtasy.....:eek:

The DEA people have better imaginations than the druggies.
