Hey guys - Looks like I'll be moving to Rochester first of next month! While there last weekend, househunting, I only saw about two other 8s.

I just got my RX and I was cruising the D.
I didn't see another out there, just abunch of hoopties and donked out suv's
I live in windsor and there are a bunch of rx-8's. In a 2 block Radius there is me with the Red one , a yellow one, an orange one (tuner), two white ones, a new blue one and three black ones.
there is also a bunch of vintage english cars too? I wonder if there is anything in the water.

Milk in a bag, two dollar coins, and poutine don't make it here either. At least excellent radio airwaves make it across the river.

I don't know why, but I just bought an '09 RX-8 R3 to go with my '02 Honda s2000. I am still breaking it in, but the suspension tuning is perfect and the car looks great. I hope to see some of you guys around town.

Anyone in the Bear Lake area??

I am already waiting for next summer so I can go to my parents lake house there and cruise like crazy all over the area. long, flat roads where you can see for miles and I never see police.

Oh I can't wait... I just can't

That'd be me. I was up there there with my wife to check out the school. Don't see two RX's sitting together very often so I couldn't resist rollin' by. Was up there again today and saw the Nordic RX again. It was crappy weather, but is that RX debadged or just have blacked out emblems? Looked nice anyway.

I am sure happy I havent put my winter tires on, this november weather has been awesome! There won't be too many other nice days to cruise the D.
The folks in Highland park even had smiles on their faces. (Man that is a rough area of town)

Well, I had plan on moving to Arizona soon but I guess its gonna have to wait. I was expecting to get a wind turbine technician job out west. I got hired by GE and will be working at their new site in West Lafayette,IN.

Im just excited they hired me and I'll work where ever they want me now.

I start on the 30th.

Hi all

Just wanted to say hi everyone... new RX8 owner, Velocity Red 6sp, been having fun with the new ride the last few weeks and reading up on all the RX8 info the past couple months on the net...

Who do you guys go to for service around here? I like to do most of the work myself when I can, but took my car over to Ferndale Mazda for some recall work when I got a fairly bad impression from the nearby Suburban Mazda in Troy...Suburban was telling me some line about not being able to do the factory recall check/work for the ECM reflash unless I 'brought in the car with specific problems/symptoms...'. and added, 'but sir, we can't tell you what those symptoms are...ha ha'. Didn't know recalls worked like that, but maybe they do at Suburban...

Anyone know of any17" winter wheel/tire sets for sale out there? Trying to track something down that's affordable...

Pete
