It was real nice 
But I've only seen it twice. Once on 360 and the second time during fat tuesday downtown. Oh yeah I've seen you twice, I think. Saw you going north on 35 a few weeks ago.

I was in Dallas this weekend and saw one TG, and four SS I waved but zero response. I spent most of my time in Southlake and Keller which is where I saw the majority of them.

My car was black when I bought it, but it's yellow now becasue of the 40 pounds of pollen all over it. I swear, a good pressure wash at this point would qualify as a "performance-boosting weight reduction."
Anyways, the reason I mention this is because my friends thought it would be funny to start writing stuff all over my car, and one of them actually found a way to cleverly put my logon ID on my front & back.
If you see a pollen-covered BB RX-8 that has:
1/2 <Mazda Badge 'M'> v²
written on it, that's me
....
...it also has "type R", "Powered by Honda", "Mach 1", "GT V-6", and "I <3 boobies" written on it at random places....

haha, no kidding? Easisest way to recognize me is the plate "jus rad" off topic but I had a really shitty start to my morning. I was driving down wm. cannon doing about 45ish, guy in a lexus is300 sped by me like he was trying to race me. I knew there was a cop at the top of the hill (they're always there), homedude and the car he almost rear ends both slam on their brakes in front of the cop, I keep my speed and get popped for going 50 in a 40, I asked the cop if he saw what happened and he said "well I guess he must have slowed down before I got him on radar" which is total crap as he slammed on his brakes about 10 feet from the intersection where the cop was stashed. Anyone have any experience fighting these? If I really was speeding I'd have no issue whatsoever with the ticket, I'd take my medicine, do whatever I have to do, but this time I was just driving along, some other person was a *****, and I got his ticket for it and I don't think that's fair at all. I know I'm in the rolling cliche (yellow sports car, chrome wheels, bodykit blah blah blah) but that's no reason to issue a ticket for a law I didn't break, the other car was dark grey conincidentally and it's overcast this morning

this dude was a total jerk, he acted like I was the bad guy, wouldn't even listen to me, just kinda' "yeah right kid" written all over his face. Yep, not much you can do when the other 2 cars were dark colors, innocent looking (i;e-no mods) and then you have my eyesore yellow blaring out "look at me look at me". I honestly think the guy popped me because he didn't like my car, and just used speeding and such as an excuse to pull me over. I've heard you can do 2 tickets in one year via defensive driving, if not then I'm going to court.

I guess it all comes down to what the cop says he saw, I have also heard it said that they like going after the last car in a group because they are the easiest... not exactly sure how true or relevent that is but hey.

I saw 2 8s yesterday that look like they might belong to people here. I nice looking BB on Chimney Rock next to 59 around 5:30, and a Winning Blue heading west on Westheimer around 6:45 or so.
I was driving my new Mx-5 Miata so I didn't get to do the RX-8 wave

I am from Missouri and was traveling west on I 40 west of Oklahoma City on Sunday heading for New Mexico and met a black RX8 headed east on 40. I saw lots of BMW Mcars on the road as well further down the road as I was headed through the Texas panhandle. I especially like the red e36 M3 with the cop in hot pursuit.....

Gray RX-8 at Reed Field
OK... this one HAS to work... it just HAS TO. You know why, because there was an RX8 club sticker on the window!
So someone on here that drives a Tit-gray RX-8, with nice rims and spoiler was parked at the Walter Reed field sunday afternoon. I saw it on my way back from the Ultimate Frisbee tournament. You may have seen a silver RX-8 in the parking lot since you parked maybe 3 cars down from it. That was my car.
[waits patiently]

I once saw an Rx8 delivering pizza in the northeast side of San Antonio
And I thought to myself yeah i would do that for this car.
The pizza hut comment above reminded me of it.
