How many RX-8s still running in Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro?

Just curious how many are around these days? I have a 2004 Velocity Red Mica M/T Touring with spoiler and trim. Still going strong at almost 83k miles and body in great shape with the typical accumulation of minor paint chips over time. I also just got a few dents pulled out to return panels back to factory smooth state. I don’t see as many around as when I bought mine used privately with 25k miles 15 years ago in October of 2007.


Most recent photo when the car was constipated with a clogged cat. Car is running well again now after addressing…

I bought my 2004 red mica RX8 MT6spd in Oct 2003. Rebuild needed at 140,000 miles (2014). Rebuilt Renesis 56k mi. later (now at 196,754 mi.) runs like a rocket. Using 10w40 year round here in Florence,SC. Left and right front stereo woofer relays are toast and paint is spotty (expected after 21 yrs.). Very difficult to pull plug on T-REX ( pet name). Will probably opt for that 2022 Honda accord and keep T-Tex until wheels fall off.

I have a 2004 as well same color i m debating to restore the same color or to go Soul Red. Now looking at your paint i might stay with the stock color.
