Question Weird RX-8 Sighting in Northern VA

Driving E on Rt 50 in Chantilly, VA, I saw an orange RX-8! The back was orange and I could read the RX-8 emblem. The sides had some sort of black and white pattern. As I got closer, the car looked weird, like it was too short.

This "suicide" door had been removed from the car. It was like that section of the car had been removed and the remaining sections spliced together. The RX-8 was now a 2-door coupe.

I know this sounds unbelievable....

Yes, you can do anything with an Integra :p If I had more money, I'd get one and make it look like a Fiero. :p :D

Maybe a prototype next generation Miata coupe? There was a recent sccop shot of the new Miata convertible with the RX8 nose grafted on.
