Brilliant Black going eastbound on the QEW between Erin Mills and the 427 around 7:15 this morning.

Same as above, tried to wave, pulled up beside you, but couldn't go AS SLOW (95kph in the slow lane) as you were driving.......

I think i saw 2 corollas pass this guy!

Anyways, cheers to not waving at a fellow 8 driver... he kept looking straight ahead like i was the boogie man or something!

Not an antenna per say... how about that little "fin" thing that you see sticking out from the roof of most of the cars these days...

whats up with these 8 drivers lately.... First, they dont wave back 'cuz they are simply not aware of their surroundings, and now driving sooo slow in the fast lane and letting vans pass you from the right to come in front ... it actually hurts!!

With the amount I drive, I'm amazed that you guys don't spot me. It's always the non 8 club people that I see.

I bought one and put in on my SS 8 so that I can proudly show the brand! And it worked!! When I had my house fire a week ago ... several firemen stood around my car pointing and discussing the club decal. I guess I did my part for the club!! If I had some extra decals that day I could have stuck some on the back of the fire truck!!!

Whats a good place to put the rx8-club decal?
I am planning on getting tints soon.. should I first wait to get tints and then install the decal?

Apparently, installing this decal has become a daunting task for me...

Yeah! Everyone is fine ... just a mattress fire and a lot of smoke damage. So it could have been worse ... just to ensure matters never do get any worse ... I park my 8 at the END of the driveway so my wifes car will get it first.

Seriously ... my insurance company has been amazing and everything is getting set straight!

To make it a 'business trip' I am also putting some autotrader.ca sponsor decals on the car.

Then finally, since they have helped so many of us out in the RX-8 community, I am putting a few Scarboro Mazda decals on it.

There will be blogs and tons of photos about the event on Autotrader throughout July as well as details on the sweet *** supercars I'll be hanging around.
