How often do you see 8's on the road?

RX-8's on the Road

I've noticed lately they are becoming considerably more common. I live in East Tennessee and it used to be that I never saw another one. Now I seem to see another one at least once a day.

The other day I was out driving around and I pulled up to a light and there was another 8 right beside me. In front of both of us were Mazda 6's. We looked like some sort of Mazda road show pulling away from that light.

I only see a few, but I see them regularly. Yellow, blue (with awful vinyl flames on bottom of doors), and one grey. I've seen a few others, but have not more than once.

My wife's step-sister had a silver sport AT RX-8. She had no idea what a rotor was. She bought it because it was "cute". BTW, 15" wheels look really bad on an 8. She traded it for a pontiac (lol).

I was beside one the other day (exactly like mine) when I rolled my window down to compliment the driver on their nice car, I noticed she was about 65-70yrs old! Rock on Granny!!!

I bought my 8 about a month ago, and the only other one I have seen in Chicago is parked in the same garage where I park; but haven't seen any others on the road yet.

And I don't expect to see many like mine--an '05 Shinka (only 2000 made).

You know when I'm not in my RX-8 I see 8's all the time, but when I'm in my 8 I'll see 1-3 a month. But just this past month its been like 3-6!
