Not an RX-8, but... Road & Track guys was driving this around my neighborhood. Normally, they are padded or wrapped in some Zebra-Camo Vinyl wrap. But with it's release date on May... What the heck.

seriously, if you buy one have a set of Volks shipped directly to the dealership and they can keep those POS oem wheels.

Yeah, that's what I thought first; those are similar to one you get from an Accord Sport or the Civic Si.

Saw this RX-8 at Irvine Valley College. Cool exhaust setup.

It's a bit tacky sticking out like that, at least clean it up and make it look like the one from a Hyundai Veloster Turbo.

I just passed by the ACURA dealer here in Van Nuys and they just put out a floor model of the '17 NSX. Surprisingly, lead designer is not Japanese, but an American chick!

And young! A recent graduate. Very impressive.

The design in beautiful. Leno's garage featured the car and the designer, if you are interested.

Oh, and I saw a S2 Pearl yesterday morning travelling North on 605 near El Monte. Noticed you coming up behind me (S1 BB with MS wing) as I was merging right to exit at Lower Azusa. Thanks for the smile.

My friend works at that dealer and they just recently put a new in-ground Hunter alignment rack just specifically for that car along with a bunch of other modern tech balancing and tire mounting machines. I'm so jealous because our dealer has all the outdated stuff.

Hmm... three of us near the Chandler mall in Arizona? Two silver GTs and my white Shinka, all turning left. Who are you guys?

Anyone in this town ever race?

Road flares and a tow truck on I-5 near Pacoima in L.A. tonight.

Then the sad sight of a smashed Velocity Red, bookended by two lesser cars.

If you're out there, hope you're safe and uninjured. Sorry about your RX-8.

You live a block over from me. I see this car almost every day. I've also seen you have/had a blue Evo X with cf fenders.

Too bad no one from Vancouver Island is here.

I have seen a bunch of S1s and S2 R3s around.
