I think I'm the only black one on campus, at least the only one I've seen. But yeah, I've seen one of every color right around campus so far as well.

Everytime I'm in Austin (at least once a month) I usually go around / through campus on the weekends... I'll bet once football season starts up next fall there will be tons on campus during home games, and you can count me in that group. Get more engineering jobs in Austin and I'd be around that town all the time.

I bought a blue 8 a couple of weeks ago. I'm in southwest Austin (William Cannon & Westgate area) and to date have only seen one RX-8 around Austin - a yellow one that shot by me as I was on my way to pick up my car. I took it as a good omen. I'm driving the 8 after eight years in a '95 Miata. I can't believe the room - it's great.

Congrats on your new RX-8. Try to come join some other various RX owners this weekend for a drive or next week at the meeting at Rudy's on 183. More info can be found here or here.

Congrats! I have a Winning Blue 8 as well. Though, I'm out east. I work in North Austin.

Hope to see you at one of the club events (SA or Austin).

Kirk, thanks for coming 2/4 & to Roger Beasley South; your black 8 is almost as sleek as my '89 convertible. How do you put the top down ? Bring it Sun. to "Blake's" run & some Miata's too.

I think Steph and I will be able to make the run Sunday and I will post it to the Miata forum as well. Not sure if I will have this RX-8 since I am coming up on the mileage where I need to turn it in. I will probably drive my little black Miata if I don't get another 8, depends on whether or not we have any more for demo status.

Hey Kirk, great! Like we talked about before, I could care less what kind you or anyone else brings, especially on an open run. We have MIata owner/members. It's the drive, the cars & the company. Besides, why is a '01 Miata better than a new 8 ? Answer: You don't have to use a can opener to get the top down! My motto: "who cares if it's not a convertible !" I think there will be some SC2000's too. PLease tell anyone @ Mazda S. who might be able to come. Sun.2/15 @ County Line 2222W. 12:30pm.--"Blakes" run. Thanks, LD.

If the weather is warm enough then it will actually be a nice change of pace to drive my Miata since I have been driving the 8 since I started at Mazda South. One way or the other, I will have a fun car to drive.
