I was at Rotary Performance today picking up my midpipe, saw a silver 8 in there. Happen to be anyone here by chance?

I'm kind of late posting this since this spotting took place about a week ago, but I saw a blue R3 going west on Park Blvd, coming from Preston Rd, I believe. (In Plano, Texas).

saw a black rx8 on the way to work, didnt think anything of it. he was driving next to me & i gave him a thumbs up.then i went to take my exit for work and got ahead of him. saw he had the rmagic front bumper. so i decided to take the next exit instead and try to talk to him. got next to him again and did a quick honk honk to get his attention. instead of that without even looking over at me he took off..i waited for him to notice i wasnt racing him and then caught up to him again and looked over at him like "ROLL DOWN YOUR WINDOW DOUCHE" then he took off again....airforce guys....

Sweet. I think I saw your blue R3 parked at The Shops at Willow Bend a few weeks ago, as well...

Haha! Yep, that would be me!

That was my first attendance with Apex... I usually attend with Drivers Edge mostly, but I wanted to get an extra track day in with this specific program.

I saw two or possibly three other RX-8's (my memory's very poor, lol)... I take it that one of them beauties was yours?

*EDIT*

LOL, if yours was that 'maroon' looking 8... Then I saw yours for sure! Hell, at one time your instructor confused my 8 with yours and instead sat in mine while we were lining up at the grid, LOL!! Once he sat down... He looked at me, and he was like "OH... I'm in the wrong car" . Hahaha! Funny as hell was the way he reacted!

I spotted a White RX8 with I believe Carbon Hood on the Toll Road in Austin, TX...

Unfortunately, the emergency lights were on and no one was in the car but I would have stopped. Hopefully everything is all good with the car.


I also spotted a All White RX8 on Parmer in Austin, he told me to make sure I get the warranty on the car while were driving lol. I almost missed my turn in to Wingstop.

Let's see, Its a couple I see in Round Rock, and I used to live by one at Warner Ranch apts but I moved.. he had black stock wheels? and Dark Taillights I believe.

If anyone sees a black RX8 around Austin TX with the MazSpeed front bumper gold rims and yellow fogs (always on) don't be afraid to waive or flag me down.

@warren,
Yeah, 2tone did a great job on the car and I have now since added more to it. Like I said before don't be afraid to throw up some deuces if you see me.

saw you at the hobbytown/Fry's parking lot today, I would have followed you and said what's up but I was in my oldsmoblazer (aka Bravada) and not my 8 so I decided not too, car looks good, last time I saw it 2tone hadn't done much to it yet and it was mostly stock.

I'm going on a drive tomorrow with people from various clubs around town, it'll be my first drive since Christmas and the first with no air ride in over 2 years, I'm way stoked on going.
There's a thread here in the forum or check out texasrxs.org for details, we're meeting at the "Y" in oak hill at 10:30 and heading out 11-ish. I'm down for an "rx8club-ATX" type thing too, San Antonio has the whole sarx thing, no reason we can't have an "arx" thing of our own if need be

lol, what is the best way to sign up for the club?

Also, I saw a Black RX8 on the toll today, I had to exit parmer, It looks like he had a gt package but it looked just like mine. He never looked over but I was hauling ***, I was late to work lol
