I've gotten a few waves back. Most of the time tho it's a funny look. I've gotten a few waves as well. But most just act like it's another car (technically, I guess they're right as it does have four wheels and an engine).

The only time it's strange is if I'm driving my wife's car, the matrix, and I forget and wave... then I get REALLY strange looks. The look of, do I know that guy?

So if I wave to you in my Eclispe you won't wave back?

I wave at other 8's if I'm in my 8. Although I don't see too many of them other than mine when I'm in mine. Kinda like the Wrangler or Motorcycle wave, but in the 8, the other person usually either isn't paying attention or has a strange look on his face as to why I am waving. I guess if you never owned a Wrangler or a Bike people just don't get it.

When I was a kid my dad had a verity of European sport cars he use to tool us around in and was always waving at like cars or toting the horn. I especially remember the safety orange 124 Fiat sport couple, it had a high-pitched air horn and he was always totting back and forth with other 124s. I guess people were more cudgel back then.

we I see another RX-8 I'll see if I get a wave.

I live in Salt Lake City, 8s are not extremely rare, but they are not common either. I have seen a few and I don't think I have gotten a wave yet.

I wave at every 8 I see even if it is parked. I do get a great deal of waves back but there are a small crowd that don't want to spoil their cool and make any sudden moves like waving back.

I also wave or give a thumbs up to all the exotic cars in the area. And I always get a thumbs up back from them. I passed up a guy in his brand new Lamborghini Gallardo he was all smiles while driving that and looked over and saw the 8 smiles waved thumbs up and took off I caught up with him and he waved again and floored it.

I parked next to a nearly identical RX-8 at Target last night. It was odd. If it weren't for the fact that the other had a spoiler, I don't think I could have told the difference.

I waved but there was nobody in the car to wave back

I usually wave at 8 owners that I see here but most of the time they never wave back so I have stopped doing it really. But what is really aggravating is that I ALWAYS see them if I am in my old 93 chevy blazer beater car but never in my 8. The only time I do see them in the 8 is at night because I can usually pick out the tail lights. The xenon lights usually grab my attention and tell me to look at the tail lights. Like yesterday I passed a black 8 with a hottie in the driver's seat. I started to wave but then I realized I wasn't in the 8.

Only ever gotten 1 wave before, and a few revs..

I hit the lights then as I get near I do the ol wavey!

Krankor

I'll generally try to make some kind of contact, maybe a smile-and-nod or a thumbs-up.

DOMINION

I cant see you if you nod

DailyDriver2k5

I wave or give the thumbs up!
I waved to a autotragic 8 lastweek on the highway and he gave me the thumbs up, he tried to down shift and leave me , i down shifted and passed him like he was standing still, as we coasted back to normal speed, he look like this-->

Sour puss.......lol!

crossbow

I nod to all mazda's in general .

tjbourgoyne

I think 8 owners are one of the only cars that have this wave going. But I have always drove a pos before my 8 so I wouldn't know

gonnahanvan8

I see a yello 8 driven by a hawt chick. she never waves. i think she thinks i'm stalking her.

mtrevino

Strange... I get more attention from the 350z drivers (stares and head-snaps) than I do from the RX8's in austin.

so far I think my score is
1/12
(acknowledge or wave / rx8s I see)

RotrDoc

Miata drivers do it with Zoom (also).

--My other car is an MX-5 (2001 SE)

Former A4'er

In the year I have had my car I have only had one blue RX8 and one 1st gen RX7 wave at me. The rest of the time I am just waving like an idiot with no one to wave back at me.

Didn't that mean "good morning" at the Hanoi Hilton?

Krankor

Yes you can. I only do it when I have eye contact. Like if the cars are even with each other and we turn and look at each other at the same time.

Unless you mean that you are blind, in which case you really should let the dog do the driving anyway.

Aseras

im usually going so fast by the time i realize the other 8 they are gone or so far by they never wave... ( im almost 90% highway )

Aseras

it's big with VW's ( the old classics bug,bus,thing etc..)

I do a quick 'Zoolander' glare, and a Martin Van Buren secret air-handshake.

muya

i was on 6th street the other night and a black 8 passed me in my black 8. we both got on the highway. couldn't really wave because it was so dark. he had some worked done too. he seemed to have good manners though.
