Do you wave or flash other RX8s??

I had my MINI Cooper for 2 years and almost every other MINI I passed would wave or flash their lights.

I've had my RX8 for a whole week now and haven't seen any other 8s on the road.

Do you acknowledge other RX8'ers??

I would if I ever see one. It's been 3 months since I got mine, haven't even seen any other rotary powered car, let alone an RX8.

I haven't seen another RX-8 on the road either. I do get nice comments from drivers of other vehicles though.

I honked and waved at a black 8 yesterday as I went by him- it was the first one I've seen all winter. Some people in Cincinnati must have put theirs away for the season - I saw more of them in the fall.

OK, for some stupid reason, when I replied to this post, it showed me logged as BLH2004, and not my own user ID. Strange !!! I've deleted the cookie off my computer, and logged back in as me. Stupid machines, always scewing something up.

Has happened to many people. Including myself. Deleting the cookies should fix it.

I wave at every rotary car I see when I am driving the 8 or 7. We are all in this thing together as I see it.

I'm one of two 8s at work. We each bought it the same day (7/25) from different dealers and didn't know each other before then. Small world... Since then I've seen about 5 others here in Raleigh.

I've only had my 8 for a little over 2 weeks, but I have seen only one other on the road so far and he was in the opposite lane on the highway.

I thought I had the only one. Kidding of course...

I always give/get the courtesy wave/flash from 8's.

I live in Los Angeles and got my RX-8 on New Year's eve. I've went for 3 weeks without seeing another 8 on the road, until a couple of days ago when I saw 3 of them at the DMV. Aside of that, I always flash/rev/honk/wave other rotaries.
