Massachusetts: spotted thread

Figured I'd start a thread for Massachusetts-only spottings, since the main NE spotted thread is all over the huge region.

If you spot an 8 in Mass, post here.

-----------

Spotted: winning blue w/ aftermarket rims (winter tires?) driving down Moody St in Waltham, MA yesterday Saturday about 3-4pm. You had a pool of water 1 inch high in your right taillight, and the taillight wasn't working.

My BB Rx-8 will be able to be spotted at Gallery Mazda in Norwood tomorrow Wellsley Mazda couldnt take me till Tuesday

Oh still no leads on that Silver Rx-8 I always see around Norwood. Last I heard was it runs up and down Rt-1 at night and is supposedly Turbo'ed.

There is a VR 8 that I always see in the Norwood Plaza (across from the Police Station) but I know she isnt part of this board lol. She's older atleast 40'sh give or take. Hoping one day she'll swing inside the store so I can strike up a convo to see why she bought the car.

Oddest thing is though as of late I've been seeing alot of 2nd Gen Rx-7's around the Norwood/Dedham area.

Today (Friday) seen a T.Gray 8 in Norwood just before the Center of Town. Gave the guy a wave and he gave me a big thumbs up with a smile. Never seen it before so either he's a new owner or just pure unluckiness I havent seen him yet. He was a older gentleman maybe 40-50'sh. Felt kinda nice though to give a wave and have someone wave back like that. I now know what everyone means when they say its a nice feeling

I've been seeing a winning blue on Rt 20 near Rt 117 and on I-95 between the mass pike and Rt 20 a LOT in the past 2-3 weeks. Is that you Astral? Its always glisteningly clean too. No spoiler far as I can tell and stock wheels and bumpers.

That's probably me! No spoiler & stock wheels, no app package. I'm glad my efforts to keep her clean are getting noticed Hoping to have the cleanest car in town all winter (since I have the garage to handwash it in now). I haven't seen your 8 still, I have to check it out sometime.

Yar double that.. Happy Turkey Day fellow MA people.
Hey Texas4.. yeah 128 has been having mixed reviews.. hell most of our local dealers have either horrible reviews or mixed. Just no solid "This Dealer is Awsome" around our area which sucks 'cause they could get TONS of business if one was known.

Oh and seen none lately

traded my 8 in for something more practical. i'll miss it but at least i can look forward to some snow now!

i got myself a saabaru 92x, which is a impreza clone wagon with saab badge and nicer interior/front end.

That's not me, but you can catch me parked in the WPI library lot or on the hillside road there for two more Tuesday nights.

I think that Red RX-8 may be bd32322. If you see a license plate that says "FLOOD Mazda", that's him.
