SHIIIIIIIIIIT!

VR RX-8 today at Crowfoot Shell gas station around 12:30 PM. You were putting in gas when my REALLY DIRTY 2009 Corolla passed by, I figured if I got out to say hi you'd be like "wtf is this Corolla".

Still can't decide whether to get a VR 2010 or a EB 2009.

Well I'll have a meet planned for June (because I get my RX-8 mid to late May) so expect one by at least then if no one else sets one up earlier.

I was driving in it just now...

A bus nearly t-boned me at nosehill + country hills, because the light is out there, and it became a 4-way stop intersect...

^ That's messed up right there. Its not even so much as raining in Lethbridge, just windy. Though I guess its a trade-off, you get a nice audible sound of rocks being hurled into your car here...

CALGARY SPOTTING

Saw a weird RX-8 today or maybe it was because of the sun but ...

Purple (very dark red?) RX-8 around 1 PM I think leaving Market Mall underground parking lot (the one in front of TD and Staples).

The 2009 one is listed as Electric Blue on the Mazda site. Is there a difference?

Grey RX-8 going down Crowchild Trail heading East at around 10:15 PM, you probably saw the Corolla to your right speed up and then slow down when it got close to you lol

I'm still around snoop on here still every once in awhile, mostly as a guest... and still have the car! Same as Slowlude, dont drive it much.. and it sleeps for the winter for the last few years.

Add a CR to your list!

I see a VR on Hwy 2 south of the city every once in awhile with a personalized plate, lots of waving, as well as a white south of Okotoks who wouldnt notice me unless i broadsided him LOL!

Checked back again, this time they were parked with the back end facing me. It is indeed that one. Guess the owner works at Tony Roma's?

LETHBRIDGE

Seen a (I think) Copper Red -the colour was too dark to be VR- heading north on Mayor Megrath past Montana's and Boston Pizza.

Kinda off topic, but I seen a very nice looking, well-kept dark red '92 RX7 drive by my house Sunday afternoon. I just about shat myself. That was a sexy, sexy car. Then latter that day I seen an equally nice black one driving down Mayor Megrath! What a day.

there's been a ton of people that have finally brought their 8s out for the summer. I see a few a day downtown Edmonton and sometimes in Sherwood Park. I feel silly waving when I'm walking down Jasper Ave though.
