just today I saw THREE separate RX-8s (silver, blue, and red!) within a 2 hour span within a 10 mile radius of Tysons Corner!

that's more than the number of 350Z's I saw today! (one on Rt 28, the other sitting at the Dulles Carmax used car lot lol)

so how often do you NoVA RX-8ers see your bretherens on the road in the area???

Every time I'm up there ( a few times a month) I see a red and a silver near Manassas. And when you get closer in- wow, you can't count them all...

I have only had three RX-8 sightings while driving (not counting the RX-8 festival, scenic drive and club meetings). A blue one during morning rush hour on Fairfax County Parkway at I66, a silver one at night on I495 at Tysons Corner and a silver one (maybe the same one) during morning rush hour on I495 at Tysons Corner.

Around the North Arlington, McLean area I have 2 different Silver 8s from time to time. We still seem pretty special. But I'm always on the lookout. Out at Tysons you see more because Rosenthal Mazda is out there. BTW, Rosenthal's prices on parts are competetive with Trussville if you can go there so you don't have to pay the shipping. :-)

saw another one tonight! this time it was on Prince William Parkway near Manassas. It was a lady driving a red 8.

the 8 looks really cool at night too!

Any chance of getting a Northern VA meet and greet sometime? Who's interested?

I believe there should be a mazda club meeting on wed at fudruckers right? isn't it always the first wed of the month?

I don't think there is a meeting this month. Next meeting is Feb.

actually i just checked their website (www.mscw.com), turns out there won't be a club meeting this month. next regular club meeting is in Feb.

this month they have a winter party on 1/24!

I don't see too many 8's in NOVA granted i've only been up there about 35 days of the last 4 months on leave (currently stationed in Ga in the ARMY). But I've only seen 3 otheer RX-8s......and i must say i love driving buy them.....they look bangin'

Ok, going in through the main gate at work off of 123 at about 7:30 am Tuesday, I was behind a green 8 very similar to mine. We both parked on the upper deck of the parking garage. Anybody want to fess up? The only other 8 I have seen in the parking lot at work was silver.

And today I stopped in the parking lot of the shopping center off Sangamore in Bethesda and parked next to another green 8.

We ARE just popping up all over!

Yeah, but remember - depending on what you're buying and how much shipping is, as long as you're not in Alabama you won't be paying sales tax which may make for a smaller bill even if you have to wait a few days.

ok this is ridiculous, today, out of nowhere, a red RX-8 (still with temp plates) parked across from my Protege at work.

the madness must stop!!! damn this temptation!!! ahhhh

So how many RX-8's are at George Mason University because I've seen like 4 or 5 there and around the burke area. ranging from colors of titanium, red, black, blue, and silver...I left a note on a black RX-8 complimenting them on thier nice rx-8 parked right nex to mine :) anyhow if ur in the area hit it up!!!!

wow, thread back from the abyss!!!

8's are dime a dozen around here now, i don't feel too special anymore :p

I'd wager 10-1 that blue one is me......those are my stomping grounds especially during the morning commute.

I see @least 2 a day.....there's a black one that belongs to someone in our office building off of 123 in Fairfax. And I usually pass a silver and/or a red one going south on Fairfax County Parkway just before RT50

ya i have seen alot at George mason university and i was kinda surprised i couldn't find a thread on GMU sightings :)

2/24/05
i see 1 or 2 every morning on the way to work and even more on the way home...there are 3 owners in my townhouse development alone

i still don't really see any of them:( guess they are hiding from me. LOL i see liek 15 350/g35's for every 8 still. I'm in springfield adn go to NVCC....hang around fairfax/burke/springfield...but alas i don't see any. ah well guess everyone else is just lucky. hehehe......silver 8 here:D

I see them occasionally - a red one in Springfield, another red in Fairfax, a grey or silver in Burke. I saw a nice blue one on Fairfax Co Pkwy at 7:30ish this morning in the snow, and was hoping they have snow tires! Also another guy in my office just bought a used grey 04. A while back I saw a silver on the Dulles Access Road, but he ignored me. Humpf!

^^hehe well the silver wasn't me i wave to all rx-8's i see...so far everyone has ignored me:( for shame

Well i definately give the old wave when i see one but i've noticed the women who drive them just don't understand...especially when i just get a dirty look like what r u waving for...oh well. Anyhow I drive a grey 04 to GMU. I live in the Cross Pointe area off of 123. I'm always driving around so if u see one with tinted windows no spoiler thats prolly me. Hopefully I will see some of u guys on the road. :)

oh and if u see a silver rx-8 in the King Street area...thats my brother :) i talked him into gettin one and he absolutely loves it. So now we got a family of rx-8's :)

if its green w/yellow decal in driver rear window (and soon with bronze wheels) in the falls church area, thats me

green 8 w/ support our troops magnet in tyson's area thats me

Ooooooo, I want to see it after the bronze wheels are in! Where/what type did you get?

I'm the Grey 8 with strakes, chrome fuel door, and clear corners (after I install them this weekend!)

Reminds me, I gotta print off that DIY for the clear corners.

I'm in a BBlack Sport 6M in Alexandria/Landmark. I normally commute via the metro and don't really drive it very often. Just moved here and finally getting VA tags for it. New tags "RX1701" should be here in a few weeks.

I've seen quite a few RX8s on the road -- almost as many as 350Zs. I see quite a few G35SCs, as well -- probably more often than 350Zs.

Will make it to the Tysons Corner meet this Wednesday. I'm really interested in seeing the "black cherry" paint on the Shinka that Rosenthal will be showing off at the meet.

See y'all there!

Ciao!

There are 2 plus mine in my apartment complex. The Alexandria apts. I have a yellow w/ MS Wing and Greddy Turbo Kit. Have yet to see the owners. One is black and the other is winning blue but has been crashed,beat, and thrown away wet.

They're in already - if the snow lays off today, I can pick them up on the way home, otherwise it will be tomorrow. Regardless, I should have them at the MSCW meeting on Wednesday.
