Where do you drive your rx-8?

I'm from california and to be honest I rarely see any mazda rx-8. I was wondering where are all the people that buys them from the dealership go and drive them. I wanted to see what city and state you drive your mazda rx-8. Just trying to see how many are close to me.
Thanks

Hi Dark - Central Coast - CA. - to find good places to drive to, routes and also a lot of daily junk check out the Granny Blog in the lounge -
There are about 8 in SLO and maybe 2 Paso. Just me and an old 7 in San Miguel. May be less because AAA service guy said he had hauled in a couple in that "had done something dumb"

I was wondering if anyone has driven off a cliff yet... I was wondering how the 8 handles in that situation.

as long as the cliff has twisties it owns any mustangs trying to go off that cliff. however, if it's just a straight 1/4 cliff, we don't stand a chance.

It a little bumpy but it beat the sidewalk good.

I used to drive mine around the Boston area. Now I drive it around the Seattle east side area.

Seriously, you would get better results if you looked in the appropriate regional forum.

California, central coast area. I mostly drive my 8 on the streets from home to work and back (I'm getting better at staying off the sidewalks). On weekends or holidays I'll occasionally drive up highway one, through Cambria, and on up towards Monterey. It's a fabulous drive.
