Silver 8 yesterday @ Scarb Mazda with Full MS kit, believe that's Jay's car?

and also Scarb Mazda has 3 second hand 8s that i saw, none of which looked like they had been taken care of properly...one silver: fully rusted brake rotors and another black one had dents all over the place and the rear bumper scratched on the side..

Then, to top it all off, I witnessed (along with a few of Scarb Mazda's sales and their manager?) the classic hit and run by a Dodge Pick-Up Truck which left a huge dent on the driver side door. Of course we ran out to try to catch his plate and stop him, but in the end he got away poor 8 happened right in front of our eyes too!!

More reasons why to park as far away as possible ANYWHERE, and preferably on spots that are single-edged (curb on the other side). The only downside to this...... is not the walking distance, but when backing out, you have a higher chance of curbing your rims or scraping your bumper as your wheels are turning...

But Maffu has noticed once; he saw me parked far away at Go For Tea near Midland/McNicoll, and he saw two corollas pull up beside me EVEN when far away. They just come after you like bees on honey!

lol a lot of my fob friends think like that... if I can't park anywhere isolated I pick only to park near a nice car (that also looks very well kept) - the assumption being that they probably care enough about cars to know what a dick a move it would be to dent up my car when opening a door or something.

8 Sighting: I've seen a VR parked along richmond st. just about every weekend I drive down... anyone?

Funny Markham Sighting: going S/B on Kennedy towards 16th ave - lol a bright gold, new toyota Rav 4 in front of me changes lanes to the right turn lane only to smack into the curb - I could hear the crunching sound of the rims and could see chunklets of tires coming off lol ... suffice to say I was correct in assuming the driver was an "auntie" -__-" ...

I saw another 'auntie' classed accident yesterday on midland, where a Toyota Sienna ended up trashing it's front end completely and almost hitting a tree on the opposite side of traffic, the other car that probably crashed into the sienna also had it's front end trashed, and was sideways on the road =)

Needless to say, both cars were smoking and made a very nice roadblock that took out 3 out of the 4 lanes.

There's another black 8 there so I'm not sure if the one that got hit was yours. But this 8 al,ready had a few scratches on the rear bumper and a few more door dings.

Saw a Black RX-8 (I believe it's a 04 or 05) with an added turbo emblem on the back. As well on the door, had a couple stickers (red text) of his/her mods. It was parked at Square One in front of Chapters and the GO Bus station's parking lot. I saw it around 7pm to 12am?
