Calling all Female 8 Drivers

One of the things I love about this car is that there aren't too many on the road (unlike a certain Nissan 350)... and I'm in LA where cars abound. So every time I see another RX8, it catches my eye. I'll do a little friendly following, a little pulling up to the side, and the same has been done to me by other 8's. I've noticed, however, that this seems very much to be a guy's car. I've only seen one female driver (a blonde surfer chick, USC alum in a loaded Shinka)... She didn't want to race.

I'm a female 8 driver. I think we should all get together at my place for a sleepover and pillow fight.

Don't see many 8s on the road at all, let alone females driving them.

The last 3 RX-8s I saw were driven by females. In fact close to 50% I've seen were driven by women.

(Im sure I'll get flamed for this but it is the gospel truth)........

Perhaps I don't see the female 8 drivers because I can't get my vision past the fact that there is yet another car in the fast lane driving slowly (or erratically)..........till I finally get around them and see a woman yakking on her cell phone.........))

I'm surprised that I see so many women driving the rx-8 and I actually see more women driving it than guys.

I get really tired of people who don't think the RX-8 is an RX-8 with an AT trans.

There are quite a few girls who drive 8's around here.
Quite a few of us do our own maintenance and mods as well.
We're just not the "hii'manrx8girlieattentionwhore" type.
