Hello friend! There use to be a lot of us in the past but some have either sold their 8's or just haven't been around anymore (I'm a little bit guilty of that).

Back in the day, I remember seeing a lot of 8's on the road and waving at people. Not so much anymore.

^ This would be a great idea. I have seen a few 8's in the city recently but all I get are dirty looks in mine, what gives?

Seems like most of the original guys on here traded or sold theirs.

I traded mine in 2011 but still stalk the forums, waiting for the 16x in 2015 before I hop in another rotary.

I'm still here! I'm not a regular on the forums, I mostly pop-in for DIY instructionals. I'm generally too busy on weekends for meetups

Note: If anybody in Calgary is shopping for tires these days, I'm taking a trailer to Montana in Oct or Nov to pick up a couple of sets. I should have room for 2 more sets. PM me if you want in, I would ask for $50/set to help with gas and trailer rental. And I think the receiver charges $20/set.

I'm in Calgary! There are a few 8s around. I always wave and talk with people at red lights. Unfortunately i'm not in driving condition and she's sitting in the garage stored for winter.

Good to hear and see. I look forward to seeing you all on the streets. CowtownWoody I just sent you a PM in regards to the tire run. Need some specifics and I would be in to save cash on tires. Is it really that much cheaper down there? I need a new set for my winter pathfinder. 31/10.5/15 or 265/75/15. Talk soon.

Whoa so many ex-rx8 creepers are still around! I still got mine, but hardly drive it. I saw a souped up black R3 yesterday in Panorama I think, is that anybody's car on here? Looks tight.
