I was driving home from school, and a Titanium Gray RX-8 pulled up next to me on the freeway. It was almost the same, except it had a sunroof and xenon headlamps. I tried giving him the wave, but he appeared to have sneered at me. I'm not mad, but please, whoever you are mystery dude, reveal thyself. :D

What area and day?

Usually I'm toolin' around on the NW side and sometimes down to Rice Village area

RX-Hawk

You know I've seen a few other 8s on the road and try to wave, but get ignored. Whats up with that.

shelleys_man_06

It was around 9:00, on HWY 290 westbound. I had just gotten out of PDE. :o

That's my point. I try to wave at people in my area who have RX-8's, but they don't wave, or even look. I'm not mad; I can't control what people do. I would like a wave or a girl's phone number every now and then.

Nah, I'm kidding about the phone number thing. My girlfriend would totally kill me. :o

Speed-ER doc

I always wave, but I rarely see other 8s.

Plus I'm going by them so fast, I can't tell if they wave back. :p

(mine is black, I rule the Gulf freeway, South Loop, and South Belt --- thanks Mr. Valentine!)

shelleys_man_06

Haha. There's a lady who lives near me with the same color RX-8, and possibly model.

Everytime we see each other we wave. I've gotten the thumbs up from some guy in a black one on Katy Freeway. That was cool. I wonder if these people I wave at are registered on this forum?

I've seen a older guy in a black 8 trimed in Gold(looked nice & classy) a few weeks ago at a local convenience store. He looked like he was in upper 50's. Anyway, I pulled up next to him and tried to conversate and he just blew me off. He probably thought i was just some young punk who stole the car.

I always wave and get a wave or thumbs up back. Except for one lady that lives in Ponchatoula LA. She never blinked when I tried to wave at her. Probably for the better as you know what they say about women drivers! I mean, I don't personally say anything, unless there is a woman in the car that is swerving or running off of the road because she is on the cell phone or doing her makeup. But I guess guys are just as guilty of the phone thing.

Pulled up to one gentleman with a yellow 8 in a parking lot (not in my 8, in passenger seat of a friends car.) It was the first yellow 8 I had seen in person, and the owner just happened to be walking back to his car. I complimented his car, but he just gave me a dirty look! Sheesh!

On the other hand, I had a great conversation with another 8 owner in a Ti Gray at a stoplight...she mentioned she was a member of this board too!

I always try and flash my lights or something at other 8s--I don't get nearly the return as I did when I had my 3rd Gen. I think that is because the RX8 isn't as much of a hardcore car, so you have alot of people that drive them that aren't enthusiast like we are I suppose.

shelleys_man_06

Okay, so I was at a stoplight this morning at UH, and I spot this V-Red RX-8. Anyone know who that is? It was the at the stoplight at University Drive and Calhoun.

guy321

Same thing happened to me the other day.. well this guy didnt sneer but he waved like I was a distraction.. we were at a stop light..

He had a type R sticker on his B pillar

dirtylittlepaws

It was me. I am going around putting fake tickets on other 8's at UH. J/K.

I will be on I-35 south today headed towards Austin, so if anyone see's a velocity red, it might be me.

shelleys_man_06

Okay, I saw a Winning Blue RX-8 going down Wheeler as I was going to the Cameron Building for Human Eco. Anyone want to 'fess up?

Hou-TX-RX-8

I am a waver...

I have been snubbed to..

RX4+30Years=RX8

I drive a Titanium Gray GT with spoiler, sunroof and "RX-8" third brakelight mod up and down 290 to downtown on occasion. Not usually at 9 at night though. I got off 290 in the Skinner to Cypress-Rosehill area.

I usually wave or flash my lights at other RX-8s, but don't get a lot of wave backs. That or I just go by so fast that I don't notice them.

I did pass a black 8 on I 10 about halfway between downtown and 610 around 1:45 pm the other day. I slowed down long enough to wave, but I guess with my tint and his tint we didn't see anything so I just took off.

cortc

I always goy looks and waves and now with all the mods and MS body kit I get even more... Everytime I take her out people at lights rol down their windows and start asking questions or wave with a thumbs up...

Anytime someone waves at me I wave back...

The other day I ran into one of our members driving a MS Miata and we pulled over and talked for about 15 minutes...

shelleys_man_06

Okay. Who's the lady with the Ti Gray RX-8 I drove up next to on 290? Wanna reveal yourself? Stop copying me!

Good thing I can edit these things.

I also had a run-in with a Winning Blue RX-8 on I-45 at around 8:50 last night. Any idea who it was?

Oh yeah, I saw you again Soundwave3k. :D

I live in an area SW of Fort Worth and the local Mazda dealership will usually take people for a test drive and they come by my area. I always wave or flash my lights to say,"Hi" . I have yet to get a wave back or anything from test drivers. I also flash others on the freeway and I understand if they don't catch me in time to flash back, it's happened to me a couple of times. Distractions like morning commute traffick from Los Collinas to Benbrook. I really hate it though when you know they see you and they snub you when you wave and just try to be friendly. It only takes a couple of seconds to wave back.

I was driving to Long John Silver, and I ran into a female driving a Sunlight Silver RX-8 with the appearance package. I tried waving to get her attention, but she either didn't see me, or she was just a punk bitch. I think it was the latter, because she tried speeding off. Luckily, I know how to play catch-up and I riced past her. To the girl with the Sunlight Silver RX-8 who lives in northwest Houston:

ALL YOUR BASE BELONGS TO THE RX-8 CLUB

Oh yeah, I had a run-in with some dude in a black RX-8 in IH-10. I had some fun with him dropping gears and moving as much 12 115 mph, until I ran into some traffic. :D

To the guy in the black RX-8, you rock.

I got behind an RX-8 on the tollway extension in Frisco a few weeks ago. Waved when we stopped at the red light, I thought he saw me. No response. I got beside him at speed, honked, waved. No response.

Lots of people in the Plano area have RX-8's now, most of them don't wave.

I pulled in for gas last week and a guy with a black 8 was there getting air in his tires. I pulled up beside him, waited to wave. He did not look up. I went for gas, waited to wave when he drove by. He didn't look up.

I got gas up in Pilot Point. Went in for a soda, watched the local cops case my car. That was funny. Had 2 bikers ask about it there too. People are a lot less inhibited out in the sticks.

Same day, on the way home in Plano I got beside a punk kid in a gray RX-8 w/Univ plate frame. At speed, side-by-side through several lights. No response.

I think it's good, although a tad annoying, that (non-responsive) mass-production mentality people are buying RX8's. Maybe Mazda will keep the rotary in production.

If I see you, I will always flash my lights at you. If I've already seen you, then you know me. You don't happen to be the guy in the yellow I ran down at 24hr fitness? Or maybe the guy who works for Raytheon? Or maybe that other guy I see in the yellow all the time? :b

HuskerFan

LOL... my husband was ribbing me because I wave at other RX8s, glad to see it's common practice. So far I'm running about a 25% return on wave investment.

RX4+30Years=RX8

HEy, 25% is a lot better than you can get at the bank.

shelleys_man_06

abbid would love this.

I was filling up today and a nurse's aid (I can tell because of the uniform) pulled up next to my car with a very red RX-8. We both smiled at each other. That's the kind of reaction I want to get from other RX-8 owners.

I was driving home on IH-45 and I got in front of some kid in a V-Red RX-8. I tried slowing down as I switched lanes to wave at him, but he just sped off. What an ugly, punkass bitch! Teh RX-8 Club knows about you ungrateful turd!
