Hi all... Finally I can post to this board. Also in Austin (Pflug) and I have yet to see a single other 8 in the wild, although my wife claims to have seen a few on mo-pac.
Been reading this board for a week or 2 now and just wanted to say hi.

I'm in Pflugerville also, I saw a Red RX-8 up here one morning, a lady was driving it.
I'm driving a Titanium Grey. Live over by Bohl's Place, near the HEB at 1825 & 685.

Doh! I have a titanium grey as well. I am near the texaco off of grand ave. Not that I can blame you, I thought it was the best color too .
I went with the touring package... not a fan of leather seats during the summers here, but I wanted the sun-roof.

Whoops... also mcbeefyeggthing=lufa.
When I couldnt post for the longest time I made a 2nd account just incase something was bugged with my first account. Is there anyway to delete the 2nd account for this board?
I guess I will just let the other account fade away.
but to answer your question..."where are all the Austin 8's?"
Premier Mazada north of Round Rock they have like 30-40 in stock, should be ton more on the road shortly for the Austin area.

No I had the first RX-8 on the IBM campus... Second or third car delivered to Roger Beasley Mazda. I thought first at IBM. I park my Silver RX-8 in the Tivoli garage. How fast can you take the Tivoli entrance road turns?

Mine will be on the Austin streets this week...or so I'm told by
"rx8orders". They don't seem to be able to pin it down any
closer than that as the last leg depends on the route chosen
by the car transporter guys as they dropp cars off at different
locations. WHAT??? ME ANXIOUS?? HELL YA

Well, I didn't see any other RX-8's last weekend to wave to but I sure did enjoy the car. I really love this combo so I hope I can swing one in the near future while keeping the Miata.

Who's got the yellow one with the rims? I saw him driving on MLK right next to campus last thursday. I guess it was around 4 o'clock or so. Tried to wave but I guess he didn't see me. The car looked pretty sweet, was wondering what the rims were as I only got to see them for a second.

Any road is a good road in an 8! It's not that close to Austin, but 337 is the road of roads. Also, we need to get together at RPM. If the Houston guys can organize, we should be able to also. The GP track will be open Jan 5 -11.

Anyone drive through the UT campus? I've seen an RX-8 of almost every color while I've been there; it's like bird-watching. Gray, Silver, Red, Blue, Black. There's even this one street on campus with a Silver RX-8 parked along the curb almost every day.

I'm still a wuss about door dings and took the jeep to the theater. Seeing that blue 8 really made me wish I was in mine.

Yup..that was me at the movie theater... I parked close to the curb, and watch the car park next to me... all was good.
I'm paranoid about dings too..however, when I do get one I use Dent-Magic on Burnet near 2222... they KICK *** and are VERY reasonably priced.. I usually pay $35-$50 per panel... ad the results are amazing.

p.s. you want the Woman that owns the place's son... she's the blond 45ish good looking woman, ask her son to do your work, he's been doing mine for about 6-7 years now.
