Just barely, yeah. I get off 295N onto 146N, then immediately onto 99N. Though you would have to have been looking for a white Protege5 to spot me. 4 days, 18 hours till I pick up my RX-8

...and effective tomorrow, per my boss, i am shifting schedule an hour later, so don't keep looking for me at that exact time

Saw the VR yesterday on my way home again - same spot, too. 195 West at the S curves. I waved and I think he (she?) finally saw me this time. I think it's a guy, but the big hair (like samoan hair, not 80s rocker) and guardrails make it tough to tell.

Hi Hagar.
one or both could have been me. I am pretty sure the one pulled over was me tho. I was headed to my friends place in Bristol, they let me off pretty easy. I am around all the time too.

hey - a second confirmed 'spotted'?


I also saw a TG at the end of RT 10 coming into the city - at the light by the mall. I was heading from the city to RT outbound, gave a quick beep since my tint and the tint on the TG made waving pointless. Think it was a MA plate, but I came buzzing around the corner quick.

Wow!! Spotted two 8's in the past 24 hours in Warwick RI

I saw a black one Friday, Nov 16, around 1 PM, on Airport Rd turning right onto Warwick Ave. You have something big hanging from your rear view mirror. A male driver from what I could tell. I passed you, as I was going straight thru the intersection.

Then I saw another silver 8 parked in front of Airport Liquors on Airport Rd today (Sat, Nov 17) at about 12:30 PM.

I'm driving a silver as well. Just got it this past July (and ***LOVING*** it). I RARELY see any other RX8's around town, so today was a treat.

^ Was it you? : saw a TG at RiteAid (sp?) in the plaza at the Barrington/Riverside line Saturday @ 11.30 ish. (I wasn't in my 8)


Also saw a SS pass by the parents house yesterday ~ 3.30ish (President Ave.) from the garage. Too bad it was cold - if it were warm I'd have been in the driveway working on it & I would have waved the front of my car at them!

Spotted - Yellow with MazdaSpeed front bumper in Woonsocket headed eastbound on Mendon Road at 7:40am this morning, I passed headed into Woonsocket to register mine.

...and with a MS front bumper, I KNOW you gotta be on here somewhere!

Edit: First 8 I have seen in 3 weeks since I got mine. I got a bit ... over excited ... when I waved, but don't think you noticed.

Might have been me. I remember blasting down 114 to 195 a week or two ago w/a black camaro (or firebird - didn't notice which) with one of those massive hoods. Not sure if I had the QT wheels on then, tho. I switched to the stock w/winters early b/c I had a giant screw in the summer tire & they were thin so I pitched them.

I was going to introduce myself at Saturday but my quick trip in for a b-day card turned into a half hour talking to someone I ran into inside.

hey thats cool, i'm sure we'll bump into each other soon enough. i just did the free air filter box mod and removed 1 maf screen, i may get a k&n drop in too. i'm reluctant to spend money moding as these engines seem pretty maxed out already(fi not incl) mods seem pretty exspensive too. 300-400 for a cai ?! gotta be kidding me!

Spotted Yesterday Morning, about 10am. Galaxy Grey with appearance package, possibly GT, in the only 'safe' parking spot in the parking lot of the Kmart/Stop-N-Shop just off the Cranston Street exit off Rt10. (the parking spot with curbs on 3 sides)

That one must belong to someone who works in one of those shops. Seen it in the same spot a few times before - last summer, I think.

That was me. Were you in the 8? I don't remeber seeing one . . . but I was pretty sleepy yesterday.

Went that way because I was early and knew 114 --> 195 would have been backed up to Seekonk.
