I am on the west side of town in Winter Garden. epitrochoid 01-31-2005, 05:03 PM bow wow tiggerlee 01-31-2005, 07:37 PM I'm about 4 miles north of Orlando Int'l Airport. Just wondering Tigster, Were you on I-4 today(Mon.) about 6pm? I saw a red 8 blow by me on the far center lane just before the 408 exit. VelociRedBeast 01-31-2005, 08:12 PM Belleview, Marion County 1hr north of orlando. Rhawb 01-31-2005, 08:17 PM UCF area here. Tigster 01-31-2005, 09:18 PM I was on I4 at 6 but I was in the far right lane getting onto 408 west bound. I have a red, appearance package, tinted windows, clear corners tiggerlee 01-31-2005, 10:29 PM I was on I4 at 6 but I was in the far right lane getting onto 408 west bound. I have a red, appearance package, tinted windows, clear corners I believe it probably was you. I was in the center lane in my black 8 and you flew by me, I caught up later when traffic slowed a little but was unable to get close enough to give a salute. :p I travel that route almost every day so I'm sure our paths will cross again. Tigster 02-01-2005, 08:00 AM I will keep my eyes open, I want to know why you were just sitting there and I flew by. Maybe the black ones can't keep up with the red ones?? LOL :D I saw 2 more 8's this morning, 1 on the 528 going West and another on the turnpike heading south. Both about 8:15 this morning SL01 02-01-2005, 01:21 PM I'm in the Metrowest area --SL01 tiggerlee 02-01-2005, 01:31 PM I will keep my eyes open, I want to know why you were just sitting there and I flew by. Maybe the black ones can't keep up with the red ones?? LOL :D I was in the slow lane :cool: pimpindarx8 02-01-2005, 04:54 PM Kissimmee,Fl black gran touring auto, smoked corners, and eyelids o_town_racer 02-01-2005, 06:44 PM southeast side of town in Eastwood here Tigster 02-02-2005, 08:54 AM I was in the slow lane :cool: So maybe my color theory doesn't work. :p Tigster 02-02-2005, 09:01 AM I was in the slow lane :cool: Here is my theory, red is a stand alone color on the spectrum. hence using only 1 hue to color the paint. Since black is the "combination of all colors in the spectrum" the paint should weight the most. ;) And white is the absence of color having no additional hues added it is in fact the lightest and then the fastest of all colors. LOL VelociRedBeast 02-02-2005, 12:01 PM I'm in the Metrowest area --SL01 My sister and her boyfriend lives near metrowest, he lives in penbrook community. my sister lives in the Hamptons of metrowest. SL01 02-02-2005, 12:54 PM My sister and her boyfriend lives near metrowest, he lives in penbrook community. my sister lives in the Hamptons of metrowest. Cool, I live at the Hamptons as well. Red RX-8, tinted windows, no spoiler or such, NASA/Challenger tags--wave if you see me. =) --SL01 tiggerlee 02-02-2005, 04:20 PM Here is my theory, red is a stand alone color on the spectrum. hence using only 1 hue to color the paint. Since black is the "combination of all colors in the spectrum" the paint should weight the most. ;) And white is the absence of color having no additional hues added it is in fact the lightest and then the fastest of all colors. LOL Sounds like you've put a lot of thought and research into this phenomenon. :confused: I was told once that cops are more likely to stop a speeding RED car as opposed to any other color. Not sure if that's true or not. Yesterday in Altamonte Springs I spotted a navy blue 8 sitting in the parking lot by my bank. After going through the drive-up I drove by again to get a closer look. A young dark haired girl was sitting in it ready to leave. Never seen that color before. NOT winning blue but a much darker navy blue color.Had to be re- painted that color. I don't think Mazda has introduced any new colors for the '05 other than the white. Maybe I'm wrong Tigster 02-02-2005, 07:17 PM I think the red cop theory is correct, they tend to stick out and attract more attention. Isnt the navy blue a mazdaspeed / jdm color? epitrochoid 02-02-2005, 08:13 PM oooh that MS blue? Rx8honey 02-02-2005, 09:01 PM There's a red 8 that passes me every morning (between 745 -8) heading West bound on I4 by 434 or 436 (I'm heading East). Is that one of you guys? Anyhoo, wave if you see me. Tigster 02-02-2005, 09:08 PM There's a red 8 that passes me every morning (between 745 -8) heading West bound on I4 by 434 or 436 (I'm heading East). Is that one of you guys? Anyhoo, wave if you see me. eww, what are you doing on the road that early? I am still in my pajamas. :) epitrochoid 02-02-2005, 09:29 PM ^^^ another 8 you'll find on the road at the ass crack of dawn. between UCF and sand lake/kirkman area on 417 and 528. Rx8honey 02-02-2005, 09:31 PM eww, what are you doing on the road that early? I am still in my pajamas. :) Going to work and I'm late almost every morning too. Chef RX-8 02-03-2005, 07:51 AM I reside by the airport. I see a grey rx-8 on 528 sometimes. epitrochoid 02-03-2005, 08:43 AM thats probably me...WB around 7:45am and EB around 3 or 4 Chromium 02-07-2005, 12:16 PM Is it to late to respond here? I drive a red 8 and i live in the UCF area. 15% tint gt package. I've seen another one just like it driving around on semoran and university a lot. tiggerlee 02-07-2005, 12:49 PM You probably see alot more in that area. That's the area where Classic Mazda East is located. I bought my car from there and whenever they take people on test drives they usually go that way(436 & University) I'm north of there a few miles. OBTIQ 02-08-2005, 09:00 PM New Rx-8 In Town....... I Live Over By West Oaks Mall....... I Went To Some Lil Car Meet Over On E. Colonial In Some Parking Lot.... It Was Alright....xxcept For That I Was The Only Rx-8 There...there Was One 7 Though.... Are There Any 8* Meets Around.... Tigster 02-08-2005, 09:04 PM New Rx-8 In Town....... I Live Over By West Oaks Mall....... I Went To Some Lil Car Meet Over On E. Colonial In Some Parking Lot.... It Was Alright....xxcept For That I Was The Only Rx-8 There...there Was One 7 Though.... Are There Any 8* Meets Around.... Welcome to the 8 club, I am sure I will see you around I am off of 535 and Tilden Road. I have been wondering about an 8 meet, or even an RX- anything meet. beachdog 02-08-2005, 09:57 PM Dr. Philips and Satellite Beach Titanium/Red-Black No one sees it Monday - Friday since I have a company car. Are There Any 8* Meets Around.... There was a FL meet about a year ago at Race Rock. Rx8honey 02-08-2005, 10:13 PM I don't think there are any RX8 meets in ORL any time soon, but we could always meet up one day just for the hell of it. epitrochoid 02-08-2005, 10:16 PM There was a FL meet about a year ago at Race Rock. and i'm working on another one ;) pimpindarx8 02-09-2005, 04:19 PM Yea we should get a lil meeting goin down in orlando. that would be cool cause i always see the 350z peeps meeting on the weekends so it be coo to see a bunch of x8 all riding out to the same place Chef RX-8 02-09-2005, 05:51 PM Definitely need one soon. It would be interesting to see all the other cars and the mods that have been done. pimpindarx8 02-09-2005, 06:27 PM Yea we should set that up! we need to pick like a weekend or something so everywun can get out!! SOMEWUN SET THIS UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!! tiggerlee 02-09-2005, 06:32 PM sounds good! Count me in! Rhawb 02-09-2005, 07:28 PM No guarantees, but I'll try my best to be there. Tigster 02-09-2005, 07:34 PM and i'm working on another one ;) Do you have a place in mind? I am friends with the lady that manages the Waterford Lakes Town Center and I am sure she will love to have us all out there. PM me if you are interested. epitrochoid 02-09-2005, 07:51 PM more than likely race rock again, they will block off a section of the lot free of charge for car groups like us. and we get alot of tourists gawking at our sweet rides lol... last year wasn't just a meet, it was an event. complete with sponsors and doorprizes etc check it out on www.mazdanow.com Rhawb 02-09-2005, 08:00 PM Sounds cool, but I-Drive sucks :( Chef RX-8 02-09-2005, 08:39 PM I agree I- drive is bad. I would agree on Waterford Lakes. Rx8honey 02-10-2005, 12:13 AM I'm flexible (I Drive or WFL). Just as long as I'm in town that w/e. Count me in. Tigster 02-10-2005, 06:35 AM I'm in, just give us enough notice. I have to make sure I am in town and not working. pimpindarx8 02-10-2005, 09:21 AM It doesnt matter to me i drive or waterford i think waterford is a bit better cause its bigger. but lets just make it happen!!! epitrochoid 02-10-2005, 10:20 AM race rock's not too bad of a location of i-drive. it's only like a mile off 528, and it's toll-free to get off at exit 1 coming from I4. race rock is just more of a social kinda place than waterford is. if we were expecting a massive (+100) turnout, then we'd need a bigger place and WFL would be great. they have car shows there often, but theyre biiiig shows. ill start a thread in the SE forum with a poll to gauge interest. and i promise i wont get everyone lost this time :) pimpindarx8 02-14-2005, 06:51 PM So Whats Going On With This Meeting Is It Gonna Happen? Whos Going To The Daytona Car Show On March 19? epitrochoid 02-15-2005, 12:43 AM give me just a few more days to get details up...i'll open a thread right now for discussion czr 02-20-2005, 08:27 PM Some Tampa Bayers might be joining you guys if it's in Orlando :) Tigster 02-21-2005, 07:16 AM Some Tampa Bayers might be joining you guys if it's in Orlando :) The more the better. :D Chef RX-8 02-21-2005, 06:28 PM Let's get the ball rolling and try to get together soon. OBTIQ 02-22-2005, 05:32 PM im down....just let me know when OBTIQ 02-22-2005, 05:33 PM im down ONOFIVEO 02-25-2005, 09:25 PM Check this out Central FL: http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=53808 tiggerlee 03-01-2005, 05:13 PM OK so who was it in the black 8 around 5:30 on 436 turning onto 50 west? I was two cars in front of you in the next lane going straight on 436. I was gonna holla at ya! but you turned. Rhawb 03-01-2005, 06:02 PM Hm, I'd say that was me, but I don't think I was turning ON to 50 West at 5:30, I'm pretty sure I would have been turning from 50 East to 436 North...could there be another black 8 in the area that I don't know of? tiggerlee 03-01-2005, 06:32 PM Na it wasn't you. This one was behind me and I was headed south on 436. Could be rx8wannahave, I think his is black also. You can always tell my 8 from others. All the emblems are gold and I've got Polak's custom gold rx8club decals in the rear windows. I'm usually in that area between 5:15 & 5:30 heading home from work. If I see ya I'll give you a "yeehaw" out the window! Rhawb 03-01-2005, 06:43 PM Haha, sounds good - I'm usually pretty good at spotting other 8s, but I'm apparently prone to having some pretty solid lapses (my friend spotted two on me today that I completely missed), so forgive me if I sit there like a lobotomy patient while you wave your arms around and yell. Just throw something at me, I'll probably have my windows down anyway. Morgan 03-01-2005, 08:52 PM my second home is kiss-a-me/an apartment place off university next to UCF...i'm always there..i'll be there this weekend fri-sun (but i'll be in kiss-a-me but by UCF sat) Rhawb 03-02-2005, 05:00 PM Just saw another black 8 at UCF heading into the parking garage over by Communications at around 3:30, wasn't in my car so I couldn't get their attention...haven't seen them around before... Even more remarkable was the Shinka I saw heading East on Colonial around Bithlow at about 5. At first I thought it was just another black 8, but when the sun hit it there was definitely that purply-brown color. I was riding with my friend at that point, so I didn't even try to get their attention. I kind of like the Shinka - it's really hard to spot that color unless you're really on top of it and I love the tan interior, I wish I could have gotten it on my car. Chef RX-8 03-03-2005, 10:18 AM Anyone here going to be going to Daytona April 2 and 3 for Spring Break Nationals. It is a car audio competition. Rhawb 03-07-2005, 11:49 AM Hey guys, do any of you know if the lease agreement for our cars allows for tinting without being charged when you turn the car back in? I'm pretty sure Mazda won't charge for aftermarket tint, but I know that BMW will, so I just want to be safe here. Thanks! Tigster 03-07-2005, 01:25 PM I depends on your lease my last car was a Miata and it was through Mazda Credit and therw is no fee for tint, we have also had BMW's and I have never heard of a fiance company charging you for tint. My 8 is through Huntington and there is no penalty for tint, or the oil screens, or the ac condensor screen, or the aftermarket exhaust. Rhawb 03-07-2005, 02:03 PM Yeah, I wasn't expecting any sort of a problem, but I remember reading on BMWs website that if you got the $299/mo deal they were running on the 325s, they would knock you for aftermarket tint as excessive wear/damage. Just wanted to be safe and check up before I made an appointment to get my car tinted over spring break here. beachdog 03-07-2005, 05:24 PM Most leases require that the addons add value to the vehicle, don't interfere with mandatory safety or emissions and are permanent high quality products. You might want to call the leasing company and ask specifically about tint. My company's fleet cars are through GE Capital and they STRICTLY and EXPLICITLY forbid tint. If a driver adds tint, they will have to remove it before turning the car in. (and it better not cause any damage in the process) Tigster 03-13-2005, 03:42 PM Does anyone on here live in stoneybrook, in yorkshire run? My aunt lives next door, I saw your 8 in the garage. TiburonGTGirl 03-13-2005, 07:08 PM Hey everyone, I don't drive an 8 but I do live in Orlando and I'm into the import scene and even race a bit. hope to talk to positive people :) tiggerlee 03-13-2005, 07:25 PM Welcome TiburonGTGirl! Hope this attempt goes better for you than the last. Most people here are really cool,and very knowledgable. But as with all forums there are a few jerks. Rhawb 03-13-2005, 07:35 PM Heheh, I was thoroughly amused by that first thread! :p Either way, I'm pretty sure everyone was just screwing around, I couldn't imagine everyone seriously being that over the top. Anyway, welcome to the club and I hope your other threads go a bit better than that first one. Did you say you went to UCF? pimpindarx8 03-14-2005, 07:32 AM welcome to da club! TiburonGTGirl 03-14-2005, 08:35 AM thanks :) OBTIQ 03-14-2005, 10:10 PM so when are we all going to meet up and go to the races..... i'd like for everyone to go to east colonial on sat nite... where everyone usually meets up... im alwayz out numbered... last time i had like 5 evo's surround me.... Rhawb 03-14-2005, 10:13 PM I think a few friends an I were talking about heading to Bithlow (Orlando Speedworld) on Friday night, so I doubt I'll be heading to the Saturday races...I'll keep you guys updated though. Chromium 03-14-2005, 11:07 PM so when are we all going to meet up and go to the races..... i'd like for everyone to go to east colonial on sat nite... where everyone usually meets up... im alwayz out numbered... last time i had like 5 evo's surround me.... I'll head up there with u i go sometimes with my 8 and my brother shows up pretty often with his turbod eclipse. I just don't like when everyone starts to act a fool and the police always end up there. Are you talking about next to the denny's in that area? TiburonGTGirl 03-15-2005, 09:20 AM so when are we all going to meet up and go to the races..... i'd like for everyone to go to east colonial on sat nite... where everyone usually meets up... im alwayz out numbered... last time i had like 5 evo's surround me.... How many of you 8 drivers race your car. I have only seen 1 8 at the races, but he didn't race, he was letting his girlfriend drive the car, she probably would have done better than him, but no racing czr 03-15-2005, 09:56 AM give me just a few more days to get details up...i'll open a thread right now for discussion pabumpabump pimpindarx8 03-15-2005, 11:40 AM i go to the races but... i dont race i have an auto (shame on me) :mad: :( ttt 03-15-2005, 07:21 PM i got a turbo 8 and i race TiburonGTGirl 03-15-2005, 07:43 PM where do you race ?? Tigster 04-01-2005, 05:59 AM bump.. any word on the meet at race rock? pimpindarx8 04-01-2005, 11:36 AM i ve been wondering the same thing mitchfried 04-02-2005, 08:34 AM I'm in the Altamonte Springs / Heathrow area. Winning Blue with distinctive gash in front bumper and grill from a**hole who backed into me with trailer hitch equipped pickup truck. Also can be identified with XM antennae on trunk, BF Goodrich KDW2's, and Gator license plate frame. Ready to meet with other owners. Chef RX-8 04-03-2005, 03:40 PM Let's meet next Saturday 4/10, let's just decide on a location tiggerlee 04-03-2005, 04:02 PM I'm game! Hey chef, isn't that the day before your B-day? Rx8honey 04-03-2005, 04:40 PM I'm in. Let me know where. Tigster 04-03-2005, 09:37 PM Depends where and when for me. I have a few commitments that day. pimpindarx8 04-04-2005, 11:31 AM Im in also. where and when ?? VelociRedBeast 04-04-2005, 12:26 PM I'll come down Rhawb 04-04-2005, 02:35 PM I might show up. Depends where it is and when. I tend to avoid the downtown area because I hate the traffic around there, so don't expect to see me if it's around I-Drive or Disney. In other news, I saw a red 8 on campus at UCF around 2:15 today. They were the first person I've run into to actually wave (and they beat me to it!). Just wondering if it's anyone from the boards. Rx8honey 04-04-2005, 03:36 PM What if we just all met up at Waterford lakes or something? It's near UCF and no where close to Downtown. Just a thought... pimpindarx8 04-04-2005, 03:55 PM Yea waterford lakes is big too and we grab something eat and relax. I think rx8 honey has a really good idea! i vote waterford Tigster 04-04-2005, 04:02 PM Yea waterford lakes is big too and we grab something eat and relax. I think rx8 honey has a really good idea! i vote waterford I hope you don't mean eat at a restaurant there. Have you ever tried to get a table on a Saturday night at that place? Now we need a time. Rhawb 04-04-2005, 04:04 PM I'll probably show up for a Waterford meet unless I'm REALLY busy. I might even bring a friend or two as well. Chef RX-8 04-04-2005, 06:35 PM I agree on Waterford how about 6pm pimpindarx8 04-04-2005, 06:58 PM How bout a lil earlier like 4 30 or 5 Tigster 04-04-2005, 07:15 PM Thats way too early. Are you guys on the Early Bird Timeframe? Rx8honey 04-04-2005, 08:06 PM Whichever time works fr me. Now, the big questions is: Where in WFL are we meeting up? Rhawb 04-04-2005, 08:44 PM There's usually TONS of space out in BFE by both Best Buy and Target. Either of those would probably be an easy place to meet up. I think there's lots of space down by that gym in the corner as well. Pretty much anywhere with lots of open space would probably be pretty easy to gather everyone together. pimpindarx8 04-04-2005, 08:56 PM yea i agree but i still say 5 Tigster 04-05-2005, 10:57 AM Anything before 6 and I cant attend. I have a meeting that will run through 5:30 in winter park. Chef RX-8 04-06-2005, 05:33 PM 6 sounds good to me, how about by the Best Buy Lot pimpindarx8 04-06-2005, 05:48 PM how bout 7pm lol i really wanna go but i have something really really really important to do at 6pm. WHAT ABOUT SAT WATS WRONG WITH SATURDAY? NE HOW SOMEWUN CALL ME SO I CAN MEET UP I WANNA TAKE PICS OF ALL THE 8s 321-443-6542 namez adrian some call me so i can meet up with yall. Rhawb 04-06-2005, 06:17 PM Er, I think the meet is on Saturday, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it. :p I'm free any time, so whatever you guys work out with your schedules is fine with me. Oh, and RX8Honey, are you the blonde girl in the auto I've seen driving around UCF lately? PimpRx869 04-06-2005, 06:36 PM Coming to the meet on the 23rd? Tigster 04-06-2005, 06:40 PM Coming to the meet on the 23rd? Where is this I havent heard anything... PimpRx869 04-06-2005, 07:02 PM http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=57775 Just a few post down. Tigster 04-06-2005, 07:07 PM I may go Saturdays are tough I will see how the one this weekend goes and if people are nice I may grace you with my presence on the 23 rd. :D :D rx8wannahave 04-06-2005, 07:41 PM Wow...I should probably come to the SE RX8 section more often...lol I've seen a few RX8's around but I'm not sure who? I have a base 6spd, black, with mirrorish-smoke tints. My morning drive 7AMish is down Econ-to-University Anyway I live like 10 min from Waterford and I'll do my best to show up. I've never been to a car meet, what it's like...what do people do there, etc etc?

I figured everyone would just wash and wax my car...... :D PimpRx869 04-06-2005, 08:01 PM Lol, its a good place to hang out with people and just talk about cars and stuff. People want to see the rx-8's you are welcome there. Rhawb 04-06-2005, 08:09 PM Anyway I live like 10 min from Waterford and I'll do my best to show up. I've never been to a car meet, what it's like...what do people do there, etc etc? Depends where the meet's at. The only one I've been to was at Orlando Speedworld, and we pretty much just stood around and talked about our cars and got to know one another then went and made some runs. It was pretty fun. I think for this one we'll probably meet up in the parking lot and get to know one another and talk about/look at everyone's cars, maybe grab some dinner if anyone is interested. I'm sure at least a couple people will be considering the time and proximity to some decent restaurants. (I'm up for it) Seems like we've got a pretty good prospective turnout, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing their cars! :cool: See you guys there PimpRx869 04-06-2005, 08:55 PM Good deal. Rhawb 04-06-2005, 09:01 PM Hey Pimp, you wouldn't happen to be the blue that I see all over UCF and Pegasus Pointe, would you? Rx8honey 04-06-2005, 09:08 PM Coming to the meet on the 23rd? yea. I'll be there. We should all park together (the 8's). Rx8honey 04-06-2005, 09:13 PM Oh, and RX8Honey, are you the blonde girl in the auto I've seen driving around UCF lately? Nah that's not me. If you show up on Sat, I'll finally get to put faces with names/cars. :) Should we get a roster going of who'll be there on Sat.? Rhawb 04-06-2005, 09:23 PM Roster sounds good to me. I agree, it'll be nice to actually know who I'm waving to when I drive around. :p As for the 23rd, I'm going to have to reserve making any commitment to a later date, but I'd be willing to bet I'll end up making it.

So there should be a bit more than 9 people there :o Well, assuming my friends don't get lazy and back out. They've been known to do that. (especially the guy that plays WoW like it's his job) tiggerlee 04-07-2005, 04:33 PM IWell, assuming my friends don't get lazy and back out. They've been known to do that. (especially the guy that plays WoW like it's his job) I have a friend like that,can't drag him out of his room much less out of the house. P.S. Take cover Rhawb! looks like were in for some bad storms tonight. :eek: Rhawb 04-07-2005, 04:42 PM P.S. Take cover Rhawb! looks like were in for some bad storms tonight. :eek: Aye, I've got my blinds open in perparation - should be pretty awesome! :cool: I love when it rains, especially really heavy rain (lightning doesn't hurt either) tiggerlee 04-07-2005, 04:44 PM Oh and what color was your dad's S2k, I saw them all at the race, but couldn't tell which was his. They all seemed modded pretty nicely too, so either way give him a "nice car" for me. Umm, :confused: You have me confused with someone else. Rhawb 04-07-2005, 04:46 PM D'oh - yeah I did - got you and Tigster mixed up...I was hoping you wouldn't catch that before I edited it, haha :o tiggerlee 04-07-2005, 04:52 PM I thought I had a brain fart there for a minute. One second it's there, a second later it's gone! :eek: It's all cool though! :D Tigster 04-07-2005, 05:35 PM D'oh - yeah I did - got you and Tigster mixed up...I was hoping you wouldn't catch that before I edited it, haha :o His was this one, it was the only one that was blown. He drove the president of firestone racing around. I love driving that car he has everything done and he left it looking stock so it is a sleeper. PS I think we should PM everyone that has responded to this thread that lives in Orlando, I did to 3. Rx8wannahave, tiggerlee, and epithriod Rhawb 04-07-2005, 05:44 PM How did I spend two days there and not see his car parked around the venue? Weird. NICE car though, I approve. As for PMing central FL people, I've told Guy321 to try and make it, but he's all the way in St. Pete, so I doubt he'll drive all this way. Tigster 04-07-2005, 06:10 PM His car was parked there only on sunday and you needed a paddock pass to get there. They were parked all in a row behind the honda ridgelines right behind the start finish line. Rhawb 04-07-2005, 06:16 PM Ah, that explains it - no paddock pass...I was playing poor college student that weekend. :p Tigster 04-07-2005, 06:56 PM Ah, that explains it - no paddock pass...I was playing poor college student that weekend. :p I remember those days.. I am very glad they are over! Did you have general admission tickets or grandstand. We had grandstand section 6 row 12 seats 3 & 4. Also I got sunburnt something fierce that day. But I got a cool Indy car hat. :rolleyes: Rhawb 04-07-2005, 08:01 PM Well, I'm not terribly strapped for cash, but springing for 3 days of grandstand tickets made spending any more money than was absolutely necessary a bit hard to swallow that weekend. We were in section 2, row 15, seats 15 and 16. Good seats, but we had some jackasses sitting down one level from us who kept trying to dictate where everyone was supposed to be sitting (and they were always wrong, they were just trying to get better seats for themselves). My friend and I both managed to avoid too much sunburn by applying what was probably dangerous amounts of sunscreen. I kept forgetting my ears though, so wearing sunglasses is a bit of a dreaded task right now since the ears are all crispy. :( Tigster 04-07-2005, 08:20 PM Thats funny on my left were 2 guys comparing everything to nascar, and on the other side was a long beard and tattoos and he left after 2 minutes saying those races were crap compared to nascar! I have been to both types of races and I much perfer the indy cars, they do however need to have more consession stands. Everywhere we went they either were sold out or had no change for a 20. Our seats were just to the right of the 711 car. Also my ears got might crispy! My avatar is what I looked like after the races.

Agh, I have no real problem with Nascar (well, I don't much care for it, but I can understand its appeal) but I just can't imagine those races being more entertaining than the Indy races. I guess it's just my style. The concessions there were nuts - the prices were absolutely outrageous. I guess I should have expected that, but I wasn't expecting everything to be 3x what it would cost on the outside. I think I spent more on drinks in the two days than I normally do in a whole week. We were right behind the Vision car and there was a group of about 5 drunk college guys right by us who were laughing their asses off at their performance and making fun of the team. I almost felt bad for them, but I have to admit that it was pretty funny to see the whole pack go by and then see Foyt and the Vision car come rolling around about 20 seconds later. :D Tigster 04-08-2005, 08:55 AM I PM'ed o town racer he said he will try to make it as well.. The vision car was pretty bad but at least he wasn't the unsponsored orange one that got into the wreck very early. Rhawb 04-08-2005, 09:36 AM Ah, the unsponsored orange car was Foyt. If I'm not mistaken, I think he was on his third car of the weekend. :eek: pimpindarx8 04-08-2005, 03:17 PM ok so there is atleast 9 8's goin right? anyone else in central fl??? pimpindarx8 04-08-2005, 03:21 PM Just so up to par with everyone else i believe this is tommorow saturday at 6pm correct Rhawb 04-08-2005, 03:36 PM Just so up to par with everyone else i believe this is tommorow saturday at 6pm correct As far as I know, yeah. I'll be there at 6, so there will be at least one other 8 there tomorrow. :D Tigster 04-08-2005, 03:37 PM 6:00 by Best Buy is when and where I am going to be there. Chef RX-8 04-08-2005, 03:47 PM I have a friend with an 8 and he is going to try to make it also pimpindarx8 04-08-2005, 03:47 PM coo. cant wait!!! rx8wannahave 04-09-2005, 07:59 AM So...are all of you going to wash your cars and stuff...lol? Do I wear a suit? LOL Rhawb 04-09-2005, 10:19 AM I'm going to wash my car because it's absolutely filthy right now. In this state it would probably actually drive people away, so something needs to be done...As for the dress code, I think we can let casual attire slide just this once. :p Rx8honey 04-09-2005, 11:08 AM Well it's been raining for the last couple days, so I think my car deserves a wash. I'm a lil tired so I don't think she'll get my regular 3 hour detail. ;) rx8wannahave 04-09-2005, 11:14 AM I'm about to wash my 8 now...I'll vacume the inside and dust it too... I don't know if I'll be able to stay long but I'll bring my digi cam to take some pictures of the RX8's. Tigster 04-09-2005, 02:05 PM I washed the outside not the inside.... Thank goodness for tinted windows.... Rx8honey 04-09-2005, 02:11 PM So tigster I get to see inside your car, huh? ;) tiggerlee 04-09-2005, 02:28 PM I don't know if I'll be able to stay long...... Yeah same here. Had some friends from out of town call to say they'll be coming by for a visit,but still hope to meet everyone and see their 8's :) rx8wannahave 04-09-2005, 09:12 PM Well, I'm the first one home...Side Note: Sahara is a pretty fun, funny, and action filled movie) Here is the only picture I took, maybe next time we can actually go out to eat or something. It was nice meeting all of you...till next time! :) rx8wannahave 04-09-2005, 09:33 PM pimpindarx8, My wife and your girlfriend bonded...you see, RX8's bring people together...awwwwww....so girly of them...lol Rx8honey, we did not talk too much but when ever you want to see my key fob I can take a video and send it to you via email...lol...just messing... Tigster, you look nothing like your avatar...kind of disapointed I wanted to see you make that face...lol, my wife, your wife, and pimpindarx8 girlfriend need to start a support group: "Woman married to owners of the RX8" LOL My wife was happy to find other woman that deal with us 8 nuts, lol. Again, it was fun meeting you all and hopefully with time we can remember each others names and who we "play" on the RX8 show online...lol Rhawb 04-09-2005, 10:16 PM Aye, I also had a really good time meeting everyone and look forward to doing it again soon. Hopefully I'll get rid of my waterspots and have some clear corners by then! :p I'll have pics as soon as I muster up the motivation to get my camera out of my car. (which will probably happen tomorrow at this point) mcaul 04-09-2005, 10:32 PM Ditto. I'm glad I stopped by and got to see you all. It was also interesting to see the different things that have been done to the cars. Its all good. :) M. Rx8honey 04-10-2005, 12:05 AM [QUOTE=rx8wannahave] Rx8honey, we did not talk too much but when ever you want to see my key fob I can take a video and send it to you via email...lol...just messing... You got me on that one! :) ;) We definately should do this again. The turnout was better than I thougt it would be. rx8wannahave 04-10-2005, 06:29 AM mcaul, I've seen you on University before but I did not know you were a memeber here. I travel university M-F around 7:15AM so maybe I'll run into you again... mcaul 04-10-2005, 09:49 AM mcaul, I've seen you on University before but I did not know you were a memeber here. I travel university M-F around 7:15AM so maybe I'll run into you again... rx8wannahave, You must be late some mornings. I'm not often out that early. Usually closer to 7:45. But I'll keep an eye out and try to wave. BTW -- I dropped my wife off at the sewing store before I came over to meet with everyone. Apparently, she dropped her wallet when she got out of the car. While she was in the store, she got a page and someone had turned it in... Just another part of a nice night. M. rx8wannahave 04-10-2005, 10:50 AM Cool...that was nice!

I have an '05 Winning Blue Metallic in Waterford Lakes area, east Orlando. Moving to Melbourne next Friday though. I saw another Blue 8 in my neighborhood last week, any of you live in Osprey Ridge? typej 11-06-2005, 06:13 PM Late to introduce... Black w/ Touring package near kissimmee, I commute to UCF so you can spot me on 417 or 408 in the morning or at night. I see white RX-8 and silver RX-8 around my house regularly (maybe it's one of you guys). Haven'ts seen that many in UCF. I usually park at rec center garage at UCF .. usually surrounded by couple of 350Zs. :) epitrochoid 11-06-2005, 06:43 PM education garage 4 life y0!!!!!111 lol i used to park there all the time since I could always grab an end spot that early in the morning. parking going to suck for the next year though, they're closing the education lot and all those cars gotta park somewhere :( off the top of my head there's a black GT (rhawb) and a blue GT (strong bad) at UCF. theres another black 8 that lives at pegasus pointe and a handful of others who i don't really know (read: spoiled sorority girls, aka automatics). you probably wont see me much, since i don't drive my car to school anymore, but if you see a gray mazda truck waiving at you like a fool, it's yours truly :D Rhawb 11-06-2005, 08:27 PM I thought your truck was green, man. Oh, and I live in the Education garage as well, but I take the backroad over by the gym into campus (Discovery, I think) so you'll probably see me driving around the ring some day. epitrochoid 11-06-2005, 09:31 PM green!?!? gray for life man! speaking of the ring...we need to organize a UCF cannonball run...one lap and then run like hell lol Rhawb 11-06-2005, 10:24 PM Haha, man, if they shoot for underage drinking, I don't even want to know what's going to happen for that. Those guys have always loved their traffic stops, if we did that, they'd probably record the whole thing and masturbate to it. :lol2: miater 11-20-2005, 05:13 PM Longwood here.....
