View Full Version : I saw you driving your RX-8.
psbjames1970 08-08-2005, 08:38 AM Something funny happened on the way to the beach and back this weekend. On my entire road trip (about 2.5 hour drive from Baltimore to Dewey Beach, Delaware), I did not see another RX-8 on the road. Figured I would, but alas I did not...
Figured I should start a forum for spotting other RX-8s on the road. So far, in owning this car for a little over a month, I have seen a grand total of 3 other RX-8s.
Since I haven't seen any in the past couple of weeks, I cannot report that I saw one recently. But if you do, here is the post for NE folks to mention it.
May I suggest the following, if you see another RX-8 on the road, tell the following and see if you saw another RX-8 NE owner.
I saw a (fill in color) RX-8 with (any extras you noticed) (driving/parked) (approximate location and direction if applicable) at (approximate date and time).
If it turns out that you were spotted, mention it if you like.
Here is an example:
Let's say I was spotted driving this morning by you. You may write:
I saw a silver RX-8 with a spolier and areo flares with a UM license plate holder driving north on US1 near Route 24 in Bel Air MD on July 8, 2005 at 8:30 am.
My reply if I saw the post would be (quoting the other post)
Yep, that was me you spotted
chrism 08-08-2005, 08:46 AM what if you know all the 8 owners in your area so if you see them you alreaady know them? :D
Along4TheRide 08-08-2005, 09:13 AM Same thing happened with us on our trip from NC to NY. Not a single rotary spotting in the entire week we were on the road. Night-time spotting is a little difficult, and maybe some slipped by unnoticed, but for all of the daytime driving we did, not a one.
Saw a Titanium Gray one, coming in the opposite direction, yesterday (8/7) around 5pm in the Roxboro NC area. We were coming back from the VIR field trip.
Vizacar 08-08-2005, 12:12 PM Should I post every time the guy down the street drives by in his white one? Hehe :p
ZoomZoomH 08-08-2005, 12:17 PM there are at least THREE RX-8's (including mine) in my subdivsion :p
i see RX-8's quite often where I am, i lost count :D
psbjames1970 08-08-2005, 12:36 PM Sound like RX-8 owners live in certain cluster areas.
Seems that in my area, there are none I see. I do have a reverse commute each day and don't always go the same route.
chrism 08-08-2005, 12:51 PM there are a few by me....and i see the acosta boys almost every day......and for some reason i get spotted allot
Gambit 08-08-2005, 01:35 PM Friday night in AC I saw a silver Rx-8 and I'm pretty sure I saw a chrome gas tank cover too. I couldnt' catch up to see who it was though
I also saw RX-GR8 on my way home from work last week, but I was driving my other car and going in the other direction so I couldn't really do anything
Feras 08-08-2005, 02:33 PM I saw a silver 8 on 320 about 3 or 4 days ago, i tried to get them to play on the curves with me but they held back.
lurch519 08-08-2005, 03:40 PM i almost never see any 8's in my area. when i do, i wave but nobody seems to wave back, very few times do i see one going the same way either, almost always going other way. and out of all the ones i do see, i dont see very many with the full appearance package (spoiler, front lip side pieces and rear "mudflaps")
though i can say i met my first fellow member last week, and i must say it was pretty cool.
mikeschaefer 08-10-2005, 01:04 PM i almost never see any 8's in my area. when i do, i wave but nobody seems to wave back,
I always wave!
I saw a titanium gray one the other day on 64E (fellow officer) and last Sunday I saw a hot blonde driving a black or black cherry one on 64E.
There's also a red one that lives in my friend's neighborhood off Chesterbrook in VA Beach.
I haven't seen much more than that.
Vizacar 08-11-2005, 05:31 AM Yesterday @ 6:20PM there was a VR 8 right behind me when we pulled out of the shopping center, by Apple Ford in Columbia, onto Dobbin Road.
It was driven by an older woman with short blond hair. She took a right onto 175.
No spoiler or any mods I could tell from looking in the rear view mirror.
chrism 08-11-2005, 07:12 AM saw a guy yesterday break his neck as he saw mine.....he was driving a VR on 17S in hasbrook heights, nj and i was on 17N
Along4TheRide 08-13-2005, 10:35 PM Today, around 11:30am, on 40 just before the RDU airport exit, I spotted a red 8 heading west while I was east bound. Whoever you were, you were just hitting the traffic jam due to a flatbed truck blocking traffic and retrieving a car that looked like it had jumped the guardrail and ended up at the bottom of the embankment.
HeelnToe 08-13-2005, 11:23 PM Sound like RX-8 owners live in certain cluster areas.
Seems that in my area, there are none I see. I do have a reverse commute each day and don't always go the same route.
That's been my experience too. My commute is 50 miles round-trip on rural, yet very congested roads. I too take different routes home each day. Yet I can easily go weeks without seeing another RX-8. I see more Vipers, 911s, Evos, STis, even Elises(!) than RX-8s.
I do occasionally see a blue one with an aftermarket exhaust on 202 here in New Hope (PA), and another(?) blue one in Morrisville with some sort of vanity plate. And once in awhile a black one on 32 between Yardley and Morrisville.
No response to waves :(
psbjames1970 08-14-2005, 08:30 AM I just saw a black one but not with the driver. It was parked at the Gemcraft Offices parking lot in Forest Hill Maryland. Could not believe one has been so close to my office.
MadRonin 08-15-2005, 02:34 PM There's a blue 8 that runs around Exton a lot. I've waved a few times, but never get a response. I see a blue, a tit gray, and VR on 422 going west in the afternoon every now and again. I try to acknowledge them, but sometimes I'm moving too fast in the opposite direction. When I do flash or wave, I get nothing. Finally I saw VR on the turnpike between Valley Forge and Downingtown the other week. Got right next to them, waved, nothing. :(
I give up. No more signaling unless signaled to first. :p
psbjames1970 08-24-2005, 03:26 PM well finally, I saw a twin (close twin... no spoiler and no bumper cover) of my car right on I-95 when I was going home yesterday.
He did ackowledge me... kewl.
RenoIV 08-24-2005, 08:33 PM Most ever sightings for me in a day .....
Shinka from NC with 30 day tags on 95S from 32 to 198 this morning the passenger seemed excited to see another 8
Red like mine with lights on ...on 495 outer loop near rt 50 me inner loop.
Another red and a blue this afternoon .... on the inner loop rt 4 to 50 me outer loop
Whever I trailer my car to events across the country... nothing. DOn't see a one.
When I'm driving my Baja? Or Tahoe? They're everywhere.

What color is your 8? I think I saw the Blue, once.
I got a Silver 8, no aero kit or strakes. I live in Chester Springs and commute on 202. There's a yellow 8 nearby, but I've never seen him/her driving it, only in their driveway. There's some woman around Exton in a silver, she never acknowledges, waves, blinks or anything, just stares straight ahead. Also a Silver on 202 South one day, woman 30-ish, again, just staring straight. I'm not a hideous looking guy, but they could wave or something! At work I park near a Titanium with a spoiler, haven't met the owner yet.
seymore15074 08-27-2005, 12:48 PM I spotted a silver rx-8 in Pennsylvania, yesterday: Aug. 26, 2005 @ approx. 2:45pm on R65 heading North, at the Mckeesrocks Bridge. I was in a red one heading South. We did the head nod.

My 8's a black GT w/front and rear rotary accents; no spoiler. I'm a big guy, so I'm not hard to miss. :D

I drive a Red 8 that area so maybe it was me. (I always wave)....
LoveMy8 08-30-2005, 09:04 PM I flew pass a female driving a Silver 8 on Rte. 22 West in Bridgewater yesterday at around 6:45 pm. I got off at Commons Way and she got off behind me. At least she acknowledged me. She was pretty hott too! :D I can't stand when people don't say hi back. Anyway, I just wanted to see if she belonged to the club!

Vizacar 08-31-2005, 06:57 AM A white one drove by me going north,this morning, as I was pulling out onto Oakland Mills Rd in Columbia. It might be the one down the street if they came out the back side of the neighborhood.
pcimino 08-31-2005, 11:50 AM My 8's a black GT w/front and rear rotary accents; no spoiler. I'm a big guy, so I'm not hard to miss. :D
I saw a black 8 on Worthington Rd (off of 100) but it was afternoon, and I didn't get a good look at who was in it. I flashed my lights, but they didn't really have time to respond.

I don't think I've been on Worthington Rd for a while, so it probably wasn't me.
I did see a titanium 8 on east business 30 this morning as I was coming out of the Whiteland Corp Center. I think they honked, so I honked back.
SilverStreak 08-31-2005, 04:54 PM SE PA. Saw a Blue on Providence Road near Gradyville Road off of W. Chester Pike on 8/30 about 0900. Waved but didn't see a response.
On 8/23 morning rush alongside of a different Blue on the Blue Route northbound near the Expressway, mutual head nods.
MInes silver w/ clear corners, factory spoiler and a Zoom Zoom sticker on the front windshield. Usually find me around Western Delaware county and the Great Vallley area. Wave or flash the lights if you see me, I guarantee a wave.
Vizacar 09-01-2005, 01:33 PM Was leaving Nottinghams at lunch today and saw a Shinka parked in the back lot of UoP. Had HRTLESS on the plates and a US Army Retired sticker on the rear window. Also had a spoiler and moon roof deflector.
SilverStreak 09-01-2005, 02:40 PM Ti Grey on 252 near DCCC, behind him pulled alongside to make left turn, looked over at him but no response. C'mon guys there are so few of us out and about lets show a little brotherhood and sisterhood.
merc_04RX8 09-02-2005, 02:44 AM Yellow with black tinted windows on 95/495 headed away from DC near the Mormon Church. who be u?
RX8Sick 09-02-2005, 07:29 AM Velocity Red, no spoiler off the Exit 49 Toll gate in Williamsville, NY with a pretty girl driving. Saw you this morning.
MadRonin 09-02-2005, 01:41 PM Saw a tit gray merging onto 422 East, around King of Prussia, yesterday on my way home. They were behind me until I changed lanes to avoid a sharp ridge in the pavement just after the 1st Ave exit. I gave them a thumbs up. After that they took off like a shot and were driving like a maniac up 202 and then 76 and then Mall Blvd.
Saw a blue 8 on 113 South; I was going north. Also gave them a thumbs up.
Vizacar 09-02-2005, 04:11 PM Saw another one today. A yellow one, in the Long Horn restaurant in Columbia, at 1230 for lunch.
Im_DANomite 09-02-2005, 06:58 PM Ralph...you should start putting RX8club.com notes on each 8 you see. that way more show up at the meet.
Vizacar 09-02-2005, 07:47 PM Good idea. Need to carry a pad and pen around. Today I was in a friend's car.
Vizacar 09-05-2005, 02:50 PM Was pulling out of my neighborhood this afternoon and a flatbed was pulling in.
When I got back from the store I passed the flatbed with a silver on the back. It's the guy down the street. :( Hope it is ok. :rolleyes:

Probably just flooded. :(
JackInTheBox 09-05-2005, 11:55 PM Spied two 8's this past Saturday, a black in the Edison Pep Boys lot and a red on Rt.1 by Menlo Park Mall. Red, if you're on here I honked at ya, was on a yellow Ducati.
pcimino 09-06-2005, 09:29 PM PA, Lionville/Exton, southbound 100 crossing rte 113 around 3:45 pm. Two red RX-8's following each other the first one was driven by a woman, the second by a guy. Both had spoilers. The lead one had a GBA- or GBZ- plate, which leads me to believe it was purchased in 2005. The other had a FMA- plate, like mine, so I'm thinking a 2004. The different ages of the cars might be why I kept thinking they weren't identical. same body kits etc, but either one was a lot cleaner or the paints were a bit off from each other, couldn't quite figure out why. I would have rolled down my window and waved, but felt goofy in my minivan. Had to get too many groceries to take the 8. :-(
psbjames1970 09-06-2005, 10:27 PM Went to wash my car last Sunday and wouldn't you know it... The car in front of me was a black RX-8... not sure if driver noticed the car behind him with all the soap.
On Route 7 near CarMax

Vizacar 09-09-2005, 04:32 PM Just saw a blue one, with Antwerpen dealer tags, sitting in front of Giant, off of Cradlerock in Columbia. Male driver was on the phone and a lady was getting in. Pulled up beside him and said "nice car" and he acknowledged. Parked and he was gone.
Thought it was you at first Dan when I pulled in and saw it. ;)
Im_DANomite 09-09-2005, 05:41 PM haha...i would've spotted you first!!!
RenoIV 09-10-2005, 06:22 PM Silver 8 with New York plates in Baltimore this afternoon. acknowledged each other before heading home.

carbonRX8 09-14-2005, 03:15 PM but felt goofy in my minivan. Had to get too many groceries to take the 8. :-(
I got a minivan, too, for those times that the 8 doesn't quite cut it. I drive it sometime just to appretiate the difference between the two. (I found some eibach lowering springs for the van :eek: that made a huge difference, but it is still a minivan)
carbonRX8 09-14-2005, 03:18 PM When I first bought my RX8, I saw other RX8s all over the place (DC Beltway, 270 into G-burg) Dont see many anymore. Wonder why?
You can spot me. I have the silly CF hood on a velocity red 8 with app. pkg.
blueGQ 09-14-2005, 04:25 PM "GOT TO LOVE VA" ... freakn jerk.
...Virginia is for lovers...
I see a lot of 8's on the Rockville Pike to and from work. Not too many happy people though. No acknowlegements.
merc_04RX8 09-15-2005, 06:58 AM Saw a VR on Mass Ave, parked near the AU campus.. Who you be?
LiL BenNy 09-15-2005, 10:09 PM For today...one 8, two 8, black 8, blue 8. Both in New Brunswick, NJ, looks like movers in for the school year?

Vizacar 09-18-2005, 05:21 PM A VR pulled out of Giant, onto Cradlerock Road, in front of me just now. No spoiler but had accent package.

Yeah it was a girl. I beeped and I think she waved. You guys have very similar names. I thought I was going crazy when I read your post, thought you were speaking in the third person. :p Well, I hope to see you on the road sometime as well. :)
Vizacar 09-19-2005, 04:31 PM Saw a black one pulling into the road that goes behind Fudds, off of Dobbin, at 4:05 today.

Raz0rama 09-23-2005, 07:40 PM I saw a brilliant black with OEM spoiler and appearance kit northbound about 3 cars ahead of me on 420 off of 95 in the Prospect Park area in PA at about 5:45-6:00 this evening. I was the Sunlight Silver with appearence kit and chrome wheels that drove past and made a left. I cut back on to 420 1 street up, and I think I saw you pulled over on the side in my rear view mirror.
You looked to be male, about mid to late 40's with graying hair, business casual dress and dark sunglasses. Your car looked super clean. Almost makes me wish I got a black... almost :-) Didn't catch the license plate number.
merc_04RX8 09-24-2005, 03:29 AM I saw a Ti on Mass Ave near the AU Campus... I have spotted 3 in the area and none of you are on here... WTF... time to start handing out rx8club.com stickers..... :D
Vizacar 09-24-2005, 01:51 PM Just saw a hot chick in a Nordic Green getting serviced at Jiffy Lube in Dobbin Auto Park in Columbia... ;) Hey quit thinking that! :eek: It was her car getting serviced! :D
She had black hair and a cute little dog. The Jiffy Lube guys were ogling her as she left, ok ok I was too... :D
hottrx8chic 09-24-2005, 05:49 PM Well I wasnt in my car and the car I saw wasnt moving but I saw a red 8 at the Yankee game friday night. I was happy to see that another 8 owner was a Yankee fan. Though was thinkin that he/she was kind of nuts for taking it to the game since the parking lot is always a mad house full of idiots that dont know how to drive.
lurch519 09-24-2005, 05:49 PM saw a vr auto on 95 merging onto 295 towards the del mem bridge today in delaware. saw it was a girl and had jersey plates. i was in the blue tearing up toward wilmington.
merc_04RX8 09-25-2005, 04:11 PM Saw a VR on 495 towards silver spring, gave him a wave and he returned a thumbs up. U on here?
7andan8 09-25-2005, 07:18 PM Saw a young lady in a Winning Blue entering 581 N in Roanoke this past Wednesday. I was the VR behind you who exited.
Astral 09-27-2005, 03:50 PM Titanium Gray RX-8 getting off at exit 28A from 128 North at 9:50am this morning, in Waltham, MA.
Vizacar 10-04-2005, 05:24 PM TG with spoiler was parked next to me when I came out of Giant. had temp tags and Congressional Motors plate holder. Left a RXClub.com note on window.
Cool-Blue-Dad 10-05-2005, 01:16 PM Friday, 9/30 ~6:00pm.
North of Baltimore, MD inner beltway (I-83N?).
Saw a guy in a Winning Blue with spoiler, moon-roof and a black hood-bra (or decal?) with custom plates ending in `85.
I was driving my brand new 2004 Winning Blue with spoiler, moon-roof and all the trimmings. I had been an owner for about 30-minutes. Just picked it up at Shaefer and Strohminger and was headed back to Corning, NY.
I actually cut him off by accident, then eased over to the side. When he came along side he gave the car a quick look and flashed me a thumbs-up. After reading this board in the week preceeding my purchase that one gesture really made me feel a part of the RX-8 owners' community. I returned the thumbs-up and a smile and had an excellent drive home.
Nothing like 5 hours of quality time with your new baby to get to know her. :)
lurch519 10-06-2005, 01:39 PM spotted, sunlight silver 8, factory 18's parked at the nur temple right next to my work in new castle delaware.
Cool-Blue-Dad 10-07-2005, 08:43 AM Spotted at lunch-time on Thursday, 10/6 - Tit Grey turning off US-17/I-86W onto US-15S. You had a spoiler and rotary accent on the rear.
I was coming out of Painted Post about to turn right to get onto US-17/I-86W in my WB RX-8.
Great to see you! I thought I was the only '8 in the Corning/Elmira valley. :cool:

I see a lot of 8's on the Rockville Pike to and from work. Not too many happy people though. No acknowlegements.
I think I saw you a few months ago. I was getting on wisconsin ave from NNMC.
PeteC 10-09-2005, 05:37 PM TG with spoiler was parked next to me when I came out of Giant. had temp tags and Congressional Motors plate holder. Left a RXClub.com note on window.
That was me, thanks for the note.

lurch519 10-09-2005, 06:24 PM omg, another 8 owner thats also on this forum in delaware. i havent found any owners in de that are on here. are you planning on attending either of the meets this month?
gr8 saki 10-09-2005, 06:47 PM omg, another 8 owner thats also on this forum in delaware. i havent found any owners in de that are on here. are you planning on attending either of the meets this month?
yeah, we are few and far between! i actually switch btwn this forum and another one- i'm not on this one much.
don't know much about the meets, haven't been to one yet (have only had my 8 for ~ 3 months). haven't really looked into any yet, so don't know when/where they are. someone mentioned that there are some in jersey, but, not to be biased, i'm not fond of jersey for personal reasons! :D
when/where are they this month? what's all involved in attending one?
oh wait, guess i could look all that up myself- no need to burden you, huh?!?!
lurch519 10-09-2005, 06:52 PM there's one in cherry hill this weekend, on the 15th, and the other one is in valley forge park in king of prussia on the 22nd.

I passed a silver right by the Backdoor Tavern on Sunday, I was in my VR with my girl. They waved big-time, that's awesome. My girl says who was that?! I said that was an RX-8. :cool:
PeteC 10-13-2005, 01:13 PM There's a blue one with spoiler and a silver one (taking up two spaces) in the parking lot here at work right now, over by BWI.
willhave8 10-13-2005, 04:38 PM Saw a Blue one with an MS wing? on Route 22 near the Lehigh Valley Airport on Tuesday evening around 11PM... It also appeared as if you have modified your fog lights to the super whites as the color temp matched the HIDs pretty well.
Anyone here???
BTW - I was in my SUV not my 8, it was raining, dark and generally shitty outside...

there's a yellow RX-8 that parks in an apartment complex in lexington area, but i forget exactly where.
PeteC 10-14-2005, 09:52 PM Saw a silver automatic tonight outside Walmart near Fudds in Columbia. Returned the favor done to me by the Shinka (sorry, don't remember your handle) by leaving the same note under the windshield. Was that anyone here?

I pass a titanium grey 8, which let me over in front of him (thanks by the way), he then followed me. Next I see a starlight silver 8 two cars ahead of us (could'nt catch up- dame cabbies), then to top it off a VR 8 pulls up beside us and proceeds to follow me into the pentagon parkinglot. Most 8s Ive ever seen in one spot of morning commute. I waved to all but it was to dark to see.
Are any of you out there?
Guy with VR- Wash your car!?
Cool-Blue-Dad 10-17-2005, 11:27 AM Saw a VR west-bound on I-86 right by the Elmira-Corning regional airport. I was east-bound (not in my `8), but I got a good look. Nice VR with a rear rotary accent.

merc_04RX8 10-21-2005, 07:07 PM Saw a Ti on Mass Ave around 5:30pm today. U here?
magnutech 10-22-2005, 06:56 PM I have noticed the same thing, most of the states up north lack a number of RX8's where as the further south you go, the more you see. I'm sure it's because of the great snowing conditions up north where the RX8 isn't too pratical. I'm in SW Florida and I can't count how many I see on a daily basis, but most don't have anything done to them.

ZoomZoomH 10-28-2005, 09:49 PM ok a good one:
around 8:45, making a left turn onto Washington Blvd in Falls Church, to get on I-66 E, saw a TG RX-8 in front of the truck in front of me. Once the truck moved out of the lane i followed the TG onto I-66 E. Followed for a good bit until around I-495 N exit. I moved to the left lane and as I came next to the car I looked and waved. He definitely saw me wave but he has dark tint so I don't know if he waved back, then I kept on I-66 while he exited to I-495
that was one of the better run-ins I've had, very nice :D:
Vizacar 10-30-2005, 10:46 AM [QUOTE=PeteC] Sorry I didn't have more time to chat Ralph.[QUOTE]

although, i have to say lately ive been kinda turned off by rx8 owners. i pulled up next to a white 8 in old mill a few days ago and i tried to wave and say hi (you know, the mazda spirit) but he didnt want any part of it, and didnt even acknowledge the history of my car and the impact it has on his. maybe he just didnt see me waving (but i know he saw my taillights after i took off on green :) )
i also saw a red rx8 (its my friends dad, but i dont formally know him) at the gas station in severna park. i pulled up behind him and pumped my gas, and just glanced over and smiled (i didnt wanna run up to him and wierd him out, so i thought id let him see the mazda symbol himself). he must have stared at my car for a good 30 seconds, then got in his car and drove away. that bumbed me out.
maybe im just weird, but i get really excited when i see another RX and try and grab their attention. you know... THE ROTARY SPIRIT!! and it just seems to me that SOME 8 owners have kinda lost that.
ZoomZoomH 01-15-2006, 09:55 PM it takes time for first time rotary owners to 'get it', sp don't get too hang up about it, you'll eventually run into an old timer rotary guy that has an 8 :D:

That is kinda odd...
In Virginia Beach / Hampton Roads area. The 7's & 8's get along quite well. Many 7's show up to our 8 meetings.
I also have heard very much the opposite from other regions of the country that 7 owners usual act elitish over the 8's. More HP / Less Weight / Turbo etc...
I buy into the whole Rotary Brotherhood deal myself. I do find that some 7 Gen owners don't seem to know or care what they have... It is just a beater that goes fast kinda attitude. Ya flash em, honk, thumb or wave and they look at ya like who the hell are you or what's yer problem man?!?!?!
I am betting that most people either are not "Into" the Rotary like we are or are just to shy, embarrassed or don't want to get shut down and that is why you are feeling the cold shoulder.

yeah i definately agree with that! theres a 7 around here that some old lady drives and i always try and grab her attention but she just gives me the look of death everytime.
theres always those sort of people with cars. theres rich people in my town (severna park, md) that have ferraris and still dont know what they have. i guess you cant blame them though, they are doing all the car was meant to do... drive.
there IS a few 8's around here that give a smile and 'the mazda wave' back when i pass by, but just lately i ran into those two 8's, which kinda shocked me. even miata owners are into the mazda spirit!
envlppshr 01-17-2006, 06:28 PM Saw a silver 8 parked on the street behind Holmesburg Shopping Center in Philly. Don't know if one of my neighbors just bought an 8 or if someone was just visiting.

Is the 7 white around your area? I know an old lady that travels up this way to teach.. she has a white 7 with an M-Tag on it.. so i take it she travels alot but i dont know where she stays.. there is another white vert 7 owner an old guy with glasses that drive up 95 N near whitemarsh area.. i tried to stay next to him and wave.. and he just ignored me.. A few 8 owners wave more than the 7 owners around my way or even on 695.. I'll be travelin down to DC this sat.. so i'll expect to see one of yall on the streets.. i have a decal on the front hood.. now.. and back rims are different from front.. :-D

The dumb ass behind me was being impatient and I was going to stop after I pulled out but it was real busy and didnt want to cause traffic. get in contact with me so we can talk about things around our area!
Im_DANomite 01-19-2006, 07:44 PM all the 8 owner's i see don't acknowledge me at all. the FD owner's all give me a smile and nod. i don't wave, but i'll also give you a nod...maybe even point 'n shoot with the index finger :D: i think we should start having a meet in feb.
lurch519 01-21-2006, 07:53 AM was out at shellhammer's off of 273 last night, saw a silver 8, dark tint all the way around and a puerto rican flag in the back window. didnt have a chance to meet you. are you on here?

RotaryNut 01-23-2006, 11:24 AM Saw a blue 8 in Milton backing down my street after failing to get up the hill in the snow this morning. Gotta get snow tires if you're going to drive your 8 in the winter. :nono:

What color is your 8? I've seen a blue one in the area most often around Pleasant Valley whenever I'm out there, but I haven't passed an 8 in daylight since I got my car 2 months ago. Not 6 days after I got my car, I passed by another white one in Fishkill on Route 52 at midnight. It was too dark for either of us to notice though I'm sure until the other passed by.
shinka213 01-23-2006, 03:24 PM i'll meet up with ya guys.
great Feras....
I'lll let you know when....
we've also got another one from Levittown...

hottrx8chic 01-23-2006, 05:32 PM I have a Shinka which is Black Cherry at night it looks black. I havent seen a white one yet. But there is another kid in fishkill with a Shinka! Ive seen a yellow, blue and black so far thats it. Do you chill anywhere or do anything around the area with ur car? Im always tryin to find peoples to just cruise every once and awhile!
Darkrose 01-25-2006, 07:43 AM Maybe we could do a brunch run to a nice diner or something. I'm busy the next couple of weekends getting ready for my sister's baby shower. Sometime after the 4th of Feb sounds good. Maybe the weather will be a little better by then too. I got caught in that thunderstorm last night, and couldn't tell if it was just rain coming down or a mix! Great lightning show. :shocking:
lurch519 01-25-2006, 07:49 AM hey shinks, me and a couple other guys are meeting up on sunday at my work here in delaware. dont know if are free, but its just a little impromptu meet.

I'm always driving to and from work so people should see my car daily from Hyde Park to LaGrange. Often times on Sunday as well as I meet some peeps down at the Daily Planet. I can't believe I read the post a few days ago and completely missed the whole Noxon reference as Noxon is only about a mile from where I work off of 55.
hottrx8chic 01-25-2006, 08:07 PM if u dont mind me asking where do u work? I live in Lagrangeville off of 82 not far from 55......

It's not that big a mystery. Unless Texas has become part of the "Northeast" region of the US, you posted the message in the wrong topic. Nobody from Texas is going to be reading this.
