Hehe, I think yellow is a decent color on the 8's. I just wish the Yellow had a bit more orange hue in it, like the S2000 yellow. The RX-8 yellow is too mellow-y, just like the Toyota Celica yellow. Not a huge fan.
My fav 8 colors = 1. Black cherry 2. white 3. wb

Ok this is driving me nuts! I keep seeing this cute asian girl in a VR rx8 (completely stock with OEM spoiler) driving around the Sunridge Mall area and also over by SAIT. I swear she's following me because I see her 2 or 3 times per week. Got to find a way to stop and get her number.

Anyways, I saw a black audi R8 with silver siding yesterday on nosehill + country hills blvd, going nw on country hills. Yeah it's not a rx-8, but it's still an 8!!!! I was so excited I tried to chase it because it was my first time seeing a R8. Too bad I was at the redlight on nosehill waiting to turn onto country hills. Or I would had snapped pics...

Just had a slightly dirty BB behind me on Charleswood, just outside ICT building at UoC. Around 2:05pm.

Strange day today. Ok, so ever since I got a kid, I've been driving the 8 *maybe* twice a month. (I don't drive to work.) So I get to drive the 8 today and I see 4 RX-8s on the road in a timespan of 1 hour:
1 TiGray on Sarcee turning left on Richmond Rd.
1 TiGray on Glenmore by the Grey Eagle casino.
1 40th Anniversary 8 on Richmond Rd. (The first I've ever seen!)
1 TiGray on Sarcee West turning onto 17th Ave.
(And yes, I live in Westhills so I travel Sarcee and Richmond a lot!) So how come during the meets all I see are WB 8s? Too bad I couldn't stop to say hi to the 40th Ann. guy... he was the only one that seemed remotely interested in seeing another 8! I was totally ignored by the other ones.
And whoever is lucky enough to buy my 8 when I sell it will enjoy a super low-mileage 8! Too bad people will think its a new engine.

No... I'll keep the car for a few more years at least. Ever since I saw the MS 8 concept (silver one), it's been my dream car. I am, however, focusing on getting a luxury sedan... but I'll probably not be able to afford one for some time. I also want to buy the GT-R or the next Supra. So many cars.. so little time!
