Have you ever given a thumbs-up to a fellow RX-8 owner on the road?

WELL FOLKS. Enjoy it while it lasts. I am starting to see at least three every day to and from work, so the waving is already starting to get old for me. Could you imagine if every 3g eclipse driver waved when he saw car like his. it would start either a traffic jam or car accident. That WILL be the rx8, if it stays in production for several years. So I'd say enjoy it now, because it will get old before too long.

In the past month, I've noticed an increasing number of RX-8s on the road. Our little club is growing -- that's a great thing for Mazda's rotary!

Of course! We are like a big family. It just seems normal to give a wave or knod at any fellow Mazda owners.

Re: Thumbs up?

Well,
I don't know about the rest of America (or the world for that matter), but here in the Fort Campbell KY area we do what affenage does and just give a quick blip of the high beams.

naaa not any more, I'm tired of the socal snobs never reciprocating my cheers.

When I did, I would say 1 of every ten thumbs up gets one back, the rest just look and speed up or ignore me.

what's wrong with having the same car? jeez louise :^\

Someone gave me the middle finger...but it was a 350Z. Then I wasted him. A simple nod will do just fine for me.

I gave a thumbs up to another owner and he waved at me. He has a Yellow and I have a Ti-Gray.

I see that yellow RX-8 around a lot.

Since so many RX-8s are on the road here in So Cal, I've decided to only give the thumbs up to Mazda 3s since they are the retarded little cousin of the RX-8. Kinda looks like the 8, but without all the good stuff.

So go out there and show your love!

Tonight was a first... a guy in a passenger seat with a video camera took a minute or so of tape of my car as we drove down the highway next to one another. I'm gonna be sorry to see the 8 get popular - I'm really enjoying the novelty.

I havent really been close enough to an 8 to wave or give a thumbs up. But, about five days after i got my car I pased an FD and gave him a wave. He smiled and waved back. I forgot how much I love tht body style. I might have to go buy one now.
