Lots of RX8 sightings in Los Angeles area
 
Typically I only see about one RX8 a week on average, sometimes I can go a month without seeing one. These last two weeks I've seen a dozen RX8s, and each one is set up different so I know I'm not seeing the same one. Even though they are catching on it makes me feel less unique when I see so many driving around.

Unless you are driving a car that is $80,000+ it is normal to see someone with the same car as you multiple times.

I've been noticing a few more rx8's around too. I guess those insentives are finally bringing in the peeps.

I saw 1 during winter, but i'm seeing more now that it is getting warmer.

Been seeing quite a few around DC...

yah, i think a lot of los angeles area mazda dealers are dumping 8's at really low prices. i was at my local dealer the other day to get my key fixed and they still had many 05's new and in stock. oh well, fuck them very much.

u won't see me very often...i only drive my on the weekend.. if that!

Michael 04-24-2006 06:05 PM

I dont blend in yet. Not many in my stomping grounds, 2 others on campus, which means there are 15 E46 M3's per RX-8.

CyprusRX8 04-25-2006 01:21 PM

One a week! Yesterday alone I counted 13 here where I live in a town of 150,000.

I saw 4 in a 30 mile drive yesterday, and they're not common around here (central coast of california)

NgoRX8 04-25-2006 02:18 PM

I remember when I was one of the few in the walnut, rowland heights, diamond bar area... LOL

I've seen several over the past few days here in Costa Mesa, which is kind of abnormal. I hadn't seen another 8 in a month or so before this.

that may be the case here but back home in dubai an 80000 car is seen almost every couple of minutes , what we call rare is maybe an Enzo which we see once every couple of days but as far as 760's , bently Gt's ,etc all are very normal and seen alot

Funny. In the meantime, I believe I have the only blue RX-8 in the valley here. Quite scarce, but that's upstate NY. We don't have a lot of 6' blond women either, but you go to L.A. and it's a different story.

There'll be one more Silver in LA, I'm picking mine up tomorrow from NoCal :-). There are already two in the place I work at. I

i'll be joining the la crew very soon :p once i find a dealer who will give me a good price.

If you don't mind getting an new '05, Mazda dealer in cerritos is giving $7200 off msrp for all of their '05. Good luck.

Even then, I see alot of people rolling around Vegas in 80,000 Cayennes on a weekly basis. Who cares, Mazda does make more than one RX-8 you know....and if they didn't, you probably couldn't afford one.

nazca8 04-28-2006 03:20 AM
