Hello everyone. Just got my 8 yesterday and wanted to introduce myself. I'm in the Elkridge, MD area. I got a silver '05 6-spd. The car's great. It'll be better once I get snow tires.

- Calvin.

Cool, welcome... I'm in Columbia, and there are a few others around here as well.

I work in Elkridge, so if you see a white 8 with a screwed up front bumper on Rte. 1, that would be me. hah

Cool. I'll keep an eye out for a white 8 with a unique bumper. I also hope to attend some of the local meets. I'll keep an eye out for them.

welcome to the club. I live in Lansdowne and travel thru Elkridge quite often. There is a Red near you. I played bumper tag with them one day on route 1. They turned off into Elkridge near the railroad. I see a blue quite often in Halethorpe and Catonsville.


VRed GT with red/black interior, Motegi wheels, Transformer Autobot logos on the rear windows.

Cool. It's funny how you don't notice a car until you have one too. Then you start to notice them everywhere. So far, since Sunday, I've seen only one other 8 on the road on I-95.

I've got a Stormy Blue Sport, and typically you'll only really see me around Columbia (Broken Land, Snowden, Oakland Mills, Dobbin).

I'm in Rockville and Frederick on occasion too.

I'm in the same boat. I'm more likely to be around Dobbin, Snowden and Broken Land area.

Thanks. Most of the vids are from Shenahdoah Circuit at Summit Point in my S2000. It's a fun and challenging track. I also do autoX events, but I don't have the vids up yet. I've seen a black RX-8 at the autoX events (Capital Driving Club). I'll have to talk to him next season.

Great. I'll keep an eye out for you. Where do you normally run? Frederick, Manassas or Bowie? I'll be there with my 8 or the S.
