Maryland People!
 

Hey everyone.. i've been in and out of this forum and notice everyone scaters to other threads.. and figured why not just start a thread just for maryland rotary heads..
Here we talk about anything and everythin of ya choosing.. This thread will be the start of the events in maryland that people my want to go to.. or even if you need simple help with putting in a tranny or something...

checkin' in
 

Hey everyone.

Checkin' in from Gaithersburg. Just got mine this past weekend. Look for a Lightning Yellow in Gaithersburg/Rockville. :D

You should be easy to spot. Most of the '8s around Gaithersburg are silver.

Mine is blue
 

Look for me around Rockville or Gaithersburg by Kentlands.. I go to UMCP so I'm down in College Park a lot as well

Kentlands
 

Will keep an eye our for your blue VmanX. I actually live right near you over in the Washingtonian Center (right across from Rio).

going to get my 8 either this weekend or next. the fun part will be that ive never driven a stick before

Dealer taught me!
 

You'll do fine.

I learned stick when I bought my first car 8 years ago. I went to Congressional Mazda to get a Miata. Didn't know how to drive a stick. The sales person taught me on the spot. Been driving manuals ever since!

I was too chicken to get a stick. I didnt want to mess up my 8 a honda I can but not my 8. I'm in Bethesda but normally I be cruising in rockville, germantown and gaithersburg. Silver 8 here with FL plates. Honk when you see me.

damn...no one in the northern part of maryland? or atleast central part? i'm in severn (near arundel mills mall). winning blue. i think i saw your blue 8 VmanX down in college park. cokerx7, i missed ya at the fuddrucker's meet. i came really late. i think i saw slllygrl10 last week coming up from tyson's corner...

Greetings fellow Marylanders,

I live in Columbia and work near BWI. In my company's lots I have seen a Winning Blue - with an aftermarket spoiler, 1 black, 2 silver, 1 Velocity Red (Automatic) and then there is mine.

I joined the MSCW to hopefully join in on some of their road trips - meetings seem to be VA based though. www.mscw.com

Glad the weather is cooperating and I can get out and DRIVE.

Did spot a silver 8 on 198 in Columbia on Wed, but he did not even acknowledge me and the car.

Happy Rotarying,

BWI isn't far from me at all. i'm always cruising around glen burnie, severna park, annapolis, ellicott city, columbia. i have clear corners, factory appearance kit, and mazdaspeed tag frame. see you guys around

i couldnt make it to the Fudds meeting cuz my girl friend was moving that day.. even though when the day was done... i realized i could have went and came back intime for it to start snowing.. but i will 90% surely be at the next meeting.. um.. a few of us 7's meet up in Rockville at ihop on weds now... every wed.. Right now we working on getting a group of people to drive around 695 sometime this year.. like a bunch of 7's and 8's coasting the beltway... and yess you know the cops will be out to get us.. :-P

They will? How fast do you plan on driving :) ?

naw.. thinking of running around 65-70.. that's what i do on a regular.. but sometimes i get a lil heavy and go 110.. :-D

but it seems no one on the 7 forum is talkin to much about it.. so i guess the 8's can run it.. like a date/time and route to take..

Just checkin' in... I'm in the dirty-as-hell Velocity Red 8 with the Caps & Devils window stickers. I'm usually 'round Germantown/Rockville/Olney.

post pics of your 8 too. tryin' to get a better idea.

hello i'm rockville area . i haven't got 8 yet but waiting for shinka to come in

shinka?? and uh.. what color are ya getting?? when i finally get the money i would get a white one.. but i want a FD... first then a 8..

well picked up my black 2004 rx-8 last night, so if you see one in baltimore or coming too and from work on 97 or 32, thatd be me

Oh ok.. I'll have to see it up close in person.. i didnt know they made a limited edition.. I can only imagin what they are goin to do with the AE version... im more near white marsh area.. and i see like 2-3 8's roaming the streets..

ft. meade. dude, i live off of new disney road.

i'm going down to Summit Point Mar. 25 & 26

Hi folks I'm in Columbia.

I'm up and down 495/95 several days a week. I rarely see another 8 when I drive mine. see more when I drive another car.

enjoy the ride!

I think I've seen a couple of you... I'm near the college park area too. I'm in a Sunlight Silver RX8 with Apperance Package, Spoiler and Rotary Accents.

i'm down in college park to meet friends and go to parties. :D

Speaking of columbia.. there will be alot of 7's in the area next weekend.. around 2pm.. Sunday.. i dont know why they changed it to sunday. but its still in the air..

Where?

I'm around the Bethesda / Georgetown areas frequently. Black GT w/ tinted windows.

6486 Dobbin Way, Columbia, MD

we goin at like 2pm.. saturday... im goin to see if its goin to be a definate..

http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=396477 this is the thread where its discussed

Cokerx7 the 7 thread says Sunday at 2pm?

I'll make one of these eventually.

Nordic Green in Silver Spring. Currently dreaming of better weather and an empty stretch of two-lane.

Dude - its Maryland.

Forget about good weather. We beat Seattle's rain fall last year, remember?http://www.mazdamaniac.com/images/sm...aking_head.gif

I moved here from northern Europe to get away from this crap and now it is actually worse here than in Denmark.

I think we all need to move to Arizona.

(I'm in Gaithersburg, BTW.)

Arizona to far and to hot.. for me... I think we can go down in florida with a lil sunshine...

And yess its on sunday at 2pm!!!

hopefully we can take up the whole parking lot this time.. we took up about half last time.. :-P

i'll most likely come, or atleast stop by.

wish i could make it over, unfortunately I'm headed up to NY this weekend. Here's hoping the snow doesnt screw up the drive too much

skerrane...i think i saw you a couple nights ago coming out of the exxon near arundel mills. you were headed towards the circuit city direction. i was headed towards the chevy chase bank. if that was you, nice looking 8 man. black looks really good. anyways, there will be other meets soon. have a safe trip dude.

I lived in Arizona for years before I moved here. I wish there were a way to get my RX-8 back there for vacations!

lol... you miss the open road??? ^^^^^

anyway Sunday is near and roads look kinda clear... we are still haveing the meeting at Fuds!

I live in Gaitherburg and commute to College Park (108-New Hampshire-Beltway-Kenilworth). Drove the 8 to work for the first time in six weeks Tuesday. Looks like it'll be a few more weeks before I have it out again.

so how was it sunday over in columbia, when's the next one?

it was a small meet. but cool to meet some of the rotary people. mazdamaniac was there with his turbo'ed 8. i guess soon as the weather gets better we'll have another meet. seems like all the 8's are south of us though.

those bastards.... making us go near DC

It was fun. There were '7s and '8s from all different walks of life - I'd say about 10 or 11 cars in all.
My favorite was the Del Sol!

Greetings from Olney...
 

Picked up a "new" '04 6-speed in late January. To date, I haven't seen any other 8's on the road yet. I live in Olney but have been known to frequent Michael's Pub in Columbia.

Bill

Near DC?

We were so far away you would be better off driving over to BWI and buying a ticket on US air and flying to DC.

Whimps! :p

Danomite... your 8 looks great.. are you sure you are goin to keep it stock..?? at least do the intake like everyone else did.. :-P

EDIT: If yall want to see pics from the meet go to the link of the meeting that i posted awhile back.. :-P

Anyone see constitine?

thanks cokerx7. i'm going to keep it as close to stock as possible. engine wise that is. i'm going to lower it, add some suspension components, catback exhaust sys., and wheels.

i saw constantine...cool movie.
