WA NW RX-8 community

Hey guys,

I'm a previous owner who is very soon returning to the platform. I was the original owner of an '05 GT and only sold it two years in because it was costing me too much at the time. Since then I've spent a lot of time with a 3000GT VR-4, and the community here in the Northwest is pretty great. I'm wondering how it is with the RX-8 platform. This forum seems a little quiet; is there another one more active? I ask because the 3000GT national community resides at 3si.org, whereas the PNW community is at nw3s.net.

Anyway, I should have another '05 GT within the next week or two, and I'd love to meet with some other local owners. I remember getting waves and fog light flashes from other RX-8 owners when I had my original; I hope that exclusive club feeling hasn't left us all

I live in Duvall and work at the main Microsoft campus. Any other Microsofties out there?

Hope to meet you all soon!
~ Alex

Welcome! Yeah the NW side has been a bit quiet lately, but the main body of the forum is still kicking.

Welcome back to (soon) having an RX-8 again!

There's always a few people here or there, but the active community isn't very large.


If I added up all the other random RX-8's I've seen driving around, that have acknowledged or even noticed me during my 9 years with my car in the PDX area, I could easily count them on one hand.

I hope there are some events coming up. Finally moved back to the westside of Washington and it seems pretty quiet.

oh and congrats on your upcoming 8.
