Had my first RX-8 sighting today...saw a *gorgeous* blue one sitting in the parking lot of the Burlington Mall (Guelph Ln and Fairview). I don't have to guess who it belongs to...rotorian...it looked great!!
I noticed a crappy tercel type car parked beside it pretty close...you should adopt my psychotic parking approach...all the way out to the farthest reaches where no one EVER parks. It is a longer walk, but you'll never see a door ding, ever. Plus you get some exercise!

I haven't seen any yellow ones yet, though that must be spectacular, just a red one in the dealer's service garage and two Titanium Grays on the road.
I went cruising downtown Montreal last night. Got many thumbs up, smiles and nods. Never would have goten that response in my old car, a Protege 5. One guy in a souped-up Subaru wanted to race. Number one, the speed limit was only 50 Km/hr; number two there was too much traffic, and number three my motor has not been broken in yet). So I politely declined!

I was waiting for ZoomZoom at Arizona's on Saturday night. The light was poor, but I saw an RX-8 drive slowly down a lane beside the parking lot... the car looked red, but I assumed it must ZoomZoom (his car is blue) and it was just the light playing tricks on me... not 10 seconds later Zoom showed up in his blue car. Man, we almost had three RX8's together at one time... the red one was gone before we could flag him back...

Is it the "tri-cities" that confuses you? That is how the area where I live is referred to. Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge are end-to-end-to-end. Your own profile doesn't give a location at all, so there was nothing to say to me that you don't live here.
So, where do you live, then?

Saw a sliver 8 in the Rattray Marsh area of Mississauga. Parked in a driveway across from the lake. First one I've seen that hasn't been on a dealer lot. Belong to anyone on this forum?

A friend of mine was driving in his Civic the other day and saw a yellow RX-8 here in Van! He also said he greeted you along wif a "Nice car!" liner! Any chance of you being here at this forum?

rx8 sightings
we live in Mississauga in Lorne Park and have had our tit gray GT 6 spd w/ sunroof since mid-August so maybe it us you saw in Rattray Marsh. By the way we have never seen another 8 except at the dealer. Where do all of you drive? And when is the next get together, I want to talk gas mileage, if it doesn't improve we may have to go Nissan on Oct 1.

Westie, I'm positive it was a silver one I saw at Rattray Marsh and not a tit gray. It was parked in a driveway at a house facing the lake (no house across the street blocking the view of the lake). My wife said she say a silver one also at the Clarkson GO in one of the reserved spots. Anyone here?
I have not got my car yet but it just came in on Friday. Some of my accessories are backordered until Sept. 18th. I'm trying to sell my 96 Probe GT and until I do, I'm going to hold off taking possession of the 8. At least until all the accessories are installed.

Only other ones I know of in the Durham region are Ron Jeremy's black one, and a red one that's getting dressed up by the owner of the Whitby Mazda dealership.

Saw a red one today northbound on Appleby Line at Hwy. 5 in Burlington at 5:30 p.m. I tried to get his attention but he didn't look over. Anyone on the forum?

Damn, man... I thought yours looked really good...I didn't notice it was dirty.
I am liking that spoiler alot. If you hadn't been going home after work I woulda hijacked ya for a beer or something. I had just finished having some wings with ZoomZoom.
Pete, you're workin' too hard... too late, at least lol! Anyway, good to meet you.
