visable from the north bound or south bound lanes? I'll look for it next week when I'm in town. Are you talking the last toll gates at the end of the tollway? I'll see if I can snap a pic of it while I'm at it.

Going north the billboard is on your left...I think it is the first one as you come off I35 going to the toll plaza

Opps, I didn't see this thread earlier ...

... it didn't come up when I did a search on "billboard"

This is here in downtown Dallas TX - it's one of those huge wall graphics.

It's a little west of where I work, downtown. It's at the east side of the West End (now, covering the mural of the boy pulling the wagon) near the World Aquarium around the intersection of Griffin Steet and Pacific/Elm and Bryan all come together around there ... and it's near a bus stop...

Hey, if any of you come downtown Dallas at all around lunch time - PM me and I'd be happy to meet for lunch and talk about RX-8's some time ...

Atlanta Billboards

There is a billboard ad for the Rx-8 in Atlanta on 85 South.


It shows a Red one in side view with the front and back doors open showing the Red and Black leather interior

The headline says "Try and Blow these doors off!"


I will take a picture tomorrow and post it ASAP

It is on 85South just before the Cheshire Bridge and North Druid Hills exit. Billboards have also popped up on 85 around Jimmy Carter and 75N near Dobbins AFB. I even saw one in Chattanooga, TN and on the way to Helen, GA outside of Lake Lanier.

One more in Philly

Spotted another one yesterday in Philly - 676 Westbound just before 23rd Street exit. Didn't have time to go back and snap a pic.
