I also spotted a blue 8 with a spoiler and fender strakes at laclede and big bend heading towards clayton this morning at 8:40. I waved :wavey: , but I don't know if you saw me through the tint. :sadwavey:

fisherdn 07-18-2006 10:34 AM

I have a passport 8500 too, and have only been pulled over about my front license plate. Do you live out that way? I live off Jamieson by Mom's Deli

terretsboy 07-18-2006 10:38 AM

I'm at laclede and 44 where I'm assuming you saw me pull off. I forgot you told me about that install. I can't believe they've pulled you over for the plate! You get a ticket for that?

fisherdn 07-18-2006 01:57 PM

No it was the week after I licensed the car and hadn't bolted on the bracket yet. He let me off. It was out in Ballwin where I used to live where the cops have nothing to do.... I'd love to take that bracket off now, hmmmmm. I have several friends in the Georgetown apartments by laclede and 44

terretsboy 07-18-2006 02:55 PM

I'm living on Kenrick Parke off of Kenrick manner. I'm not sure where the Georgetown apts are but I think they are right down the road.

terretsboy 07-18-2006 10:40 PM

Holy RX8 spotting :batman:! I was heading out to the casino and I saw 4 8's. One heading south on 270 at 6:30ish (Red) and 3 more going north (one Yellow with ... uh... interesting skull and flame stickers :gotrice: and asian driver, one blue with what I think were aftermarket rims and an older driver, and one Red)

Unfortunately I was doing about 80 in a honduh civic (gas is getting to f**king expensive and its a 50 mile round trip out there) and it doesn't exactly stop or steer as well as the 8 so due to a rare moment of caution I didn't wave.

I think I set a new record!

terretsboy 07-18-2006 10:50 PM

(6 in one day)

starsky1231 07-19-2006 05:31 PM

Two today.

Red one south on Big Bend near 40. Around 3:50pm.

Titanium Gray one at Murdock & Big Bend around 4:15pm.

Was in my truck, so in disguise.

MikeTyson8MyKids 07-25-2006 09:39 PM

Saw one today. Silver, looked like an Auto. HW70 West at HW 79 Exit then all the way to Mexico to Knaust Rd. Whoever that is must live close.

baseballgenius80 07-26-2006 09:34 AM

Spotted two this morning.

- At about 8am, a red 8 heading east on I-70, just east of 270.
- At about 9am, a silver 8 with rear spoiler and no tint heading east on I-70, east of St. Peters.

WaterLogged 07-26-2006 09:45 AM

The red was me on 70. Actually I usually see you about once a week on 70 on the way to work.

baseballgenius80 07-26-2006 11:32 AM

I thought that might have been you, but I didn't catch the plate. Well, it was a pleasure passing by. Had to drop the 8 off at Bommarito. Last week it was in at Auffenberg for the check engine light. Ended up that was due to a bad seal on the gas cap. Took them two days to figure that out. Then, when I got it back, the airbag light won't quit flashing. When I turn on the car, it flashes then stays on permanently. I'm tired of dealing with Auffenberg, who refused to give me a rental car which is part of the warranty, so giving Bommarito a chance. So far so good.

terretsboy 07-26-2006 11:55 AM

I was just at Bommarito yesterday and they were great.

baseballgenius80 07-26-2006 05:55 PM

Bommarito gave me a brand new Cadillac CTS as a loaner, can't complain.

WaterLogged 07-26-2006 06:15 PM

WTF!? They give me Ford Escorts and other pieces of crap like that.

MikeTyson8MyKids 07-26-2006 10:24 PM

I had a choice between a Rio and an Aveo. LOL

I always make fun of Kia's, so I had to try the Rio. :mdrmed:

chico elder 07-27-2006 05:46 AM

Dodge neon twice.

baseballgenius80 07-27-2006 09:01 AM

Makes up for the POS Cavalier I got last time I guess.

terretsboy 07-27-2006 09:06 AM

I saw a winning blue by the animal hospital in webster groves at laclade and 44 at about 6:05. He let me into the road from a back road (hows that for 8 hospitality?). I also saw a red 8 going south on 270, but I assume its the same one as before and he/she won't even see this.

I also saw a white one with spoiler in my neighborhood (Kenrick Manor) a couple of days ago.

WaterLogged 07-27-2006 09:06 AM

I've always asked for a Caddy but the guy said "you pull up with a Caddy, you get a Caddy." But c'mon... it's not like we pulled up in a Mazdaspeed Protege or anything. ;) (for you chico)

Hey! That was me!
I was gonna be stuck at the light before the highway anyway, and I don't see many 8's around... Like that Ti gray. Nice looking car.

Beers!

Wrong. That'd be me. :boink:

terretsboy 07-28-2006 02:20 PM

ALRIGHT! It's always good to hear form some new people! I saw a wining blue automatic, fabric seats, a spoiler and personalized licence plate in clayton at 1:15 by Wasabi's/the public parking lot in front of the governemental office building.

fisherdn 07-29-2006 10:06 AM

I saw a white 8 cruising through the Loop thursday night around 8:30

Lindr6 07-31-2006 07:55 PM

I had a Titanium Gray pass me this morning at about 6:50 on 161 near wade square in belleville. I was in my old black RX-7.

terretsboy 08-01-2006 11:16 AM

i think I saw your RX-7 on the side of the road at laclede and 44 a while ago

starsky1231 08-01-2006 07:00 PM

Red 8 today around 4:20pm. Big Bend and Murdock.

terretsboy 08-01-2006 09:52 PM

Cherry shinka and a silver on 70 west past 270 at about 6:30

Lindr6 08-02-2006 06:14 PM

Nope not me, the old car has not been on that side of the river for probably over 5 years.

snowboarder4eva 08-02-2006 10:58 PM

there's a hot female that drives a white rx8. I've seen her about 3 times. She parks her car at some house on Lebannon st. in downtown shiloh, and I saw her an intersection in bell-vegas on 161/lebannon.

I drive the red rx8 with the mazdaspeed body kit on it.


Also, Hi to Phil in the yellow hornet rx8.
my gf spotted ya a couple weeks ago and came to tell me about it.

later everyone..happy hunting.
-David

WaterLogged 08-02-2006 11:09 PM

Speaking of hot chix... I was on the bike a couple weekends ago and a super fine girl was in a titanium '8 on hwy K in O'Fallon making a right onto hwy N. I wanted to wave but figured she'd just think I was some guy on a crotch rocket trying to get some. Eh well. The price you pay for being some guy on a crotch rocket trying to get some. :hitit:

baseballgenius80 08-03-2006 05:28 PM

Hey David, I thought that was your 8, but your gf driving it kinda threw me off.

KeithL 08-03-2006 05:43 PM

Speaking of white ones - saw my first white one ~5:30 on the way home tonight.... SB 141 about a mile south of Fenton....

you're high man, no one drives my car but me.
My ride has the mazdaspeed body kit and new black axis rims.
you'll catch it one day. but no my gf wasn't driving my car :)

SpoiledBlk8 08-04-2006 08:48 AM

It would appear that O'Fallon MO has become the official home of the RX8. If you want to see one (or many) on any given day just come on out. All colors, all options. So many it would apprear that Bommarito was having a buy one get one free sale. Up until last week I thought I held the honor of being the only black...then I met my twin at a red light at K&N. Perhaps this would be a starting place for a local chapter of RX8club.com and give the Chicago group a run for the money :ylsuper:

MikeTyson8MyKids 08-05-2006 01:26 AM

That was me spoiled. A friend and I were hitting up the B-Dubs there. No joke on the 8's. I saw 4 today! Two silvers (one of which parked in my subdvision), one red on Laura Hill, and another silver (this one an auto) on Mexico.

bjkicker24 08-05-2006 05:41 PM

8/5: Titanium 8 (w/ IL plates) folowing my red 8 on 270 around 40 at like noon.

terretsboy 08-09-2006 04:19 PM

Yellow with a big black strip and grey pinstriping. Baseballgenius! At gateway for dragging. I namely saw him in my rear view mirror! HEYOOOOOOOOO...

snowboarder4eva 08-10-2006 05:02 PM

Alright, who owns the titanium grey rX8 with the black top? Very sexy, and I've seen you twice now, once today on scott AFB.
I'd like to get a photo op of our cars.

terretsboy 08-11-2006 08:51 AM

I saw two 8's on the way home on hanley at about 4:45. A red with license plate "mid lyf" and the blue thats always in the same garage as me. Both without a spoiler.

snowboard: what do you mean by black top? custom paint job?

baseballgenius80 08-11-2006 11:51 AM

Hey terrets, I have the time slips too...it was about even. I can take credit for having the better reaction times, beat .033 seconds.

terretsboy 08-11-2006 11:53 AM

yeah im just giving you shit. you almost always got a jump on me but that short shifter and exhaust kicked in to help me inch back into the race.

snowboarder4eva 08-11-2006 05:12 PM

check it out STL meet on Aug. 10th

terretsboy 08-14-2006 09:21 AM

Saw 7 8's at autocross on Sunday. Bballgenius, Waterlogged, me, chicoelder, spoiled, another guy, and fisherdn.

Also saw a red one no spoiler headingin away from downtown clayton on hanley at 8:50ish.

baseballgenius80 08-16-2006 12:40 PM

Had a black 8 tailing me from about 7:30 to 7:45 this morning from MLK Bridge to I-70W. No matter how slow I went, they would never pull up along side. So I didn't get a look at the driver. I'm guessing they aren't on the forum.

MikeTyson8MyKids 08-16-2006 06:06 PM

Parents had the day off, and drove by the new go kart track. Said they saw a BB 8 identical to mine today. They thought I took half a day off....lol.

Who was that?

fisherdn 08-17-2006 06:13 PM

Black 8 at office max (depot?) at lindbergh and watson about 1:30

starsky1231 08-17-2006 11:04 PM

White 8 Northbound on Lindbergh near Watson. Around 7:00pm.

myfuncar 08-18-2006 08:18 AM

Silver or gray, with spoiler, Warson and Conway, today, 7:35 AM. Anyone?

WaterLogged 08-18-2006 08:37 AM

baseballgenius, fisherdn, chico elder, terretsboy, and waterlogged... Red Roof Inn parking lot by Hooters in Maryland Heights. Oh how I wish I ended the evening there. Getting old hurts!
