Just took a trip from Florida to New York, about 1400 miles. I stopped in DC for a couple days. Trip was great, and I did not have any problems. My car was completely packed and I was averaging about 85 mph the entire trip so I am sure I could have gotten better gas mileage, but I averaged about 21.5 mpg for the trip. I made a tally of some of the cars I saw along the way, and I am pleased to say I did not see 1 RX8 while driving the entire trip. I was however going pretty fast and was constantly on the look out for cops so I may have missed some. Here is the tally…

350z – 11
S2000 – 4

When I stopped in DC for a couple days though I went to see a movie at some mall in Columbia with my cousin and I saw 2 RX-8s there. Maybe people don’t like taking their RX8 on the highway

And maybe it is just me, or the cooler air in the northeast, but I feel that the car has a lot more pickup after this trip than when I got it. Does that have to do with the aging? Its still young. I must also admit that the car loves the back country twisty roads of the Northeast more than I-95.

 

Did you notice any G35s and FX35's in NYC? lol... a few thousand of them? yeahh...

 

How many miles on it? & what year?

Did you count crossfires?

 

Ha, ha! I saw eight of them all driving together on I-84 yesterday on my way to work. LOL

 

haha i was actually just counting S2000 and 350z...next time Ill count something different.

My car is a 2006 and had 2200. Now it has almost 4000

 

Sounds like my trip from Orlando to Chicago...only saw maybe two 8's the whole way.

 

The only 8s I seem to encounter are members on here and they all honk and/or wave at me. Once or twice I have encountered one that must not have been. I get along side them and smile and wave or whatever, and they would just look at me like I was nuts or something.
