And another one right here! Jupiter area in WPB. Mine is just a week old yesterday. I very rarely see any other 8's out there - best part of having one if you ask me!

C'mon WPB! Are we that lame! Let's show the SE forum that we have a strong presence. I see more and more 8's out there, so let's go. Make this thread move up on the chart!!

Hey you guys - does Palm Beach Gardens count? lol Got my yellow RX-8 end of December. Only have seen 1 gray one up this way. I remember when I got my Lexus 3 years ago that's all I ever saw - feels good to be a one and only. I'm up for a meet sometime.

Hey the Ti was probably me Gator. I was driving South on Flagler saturday night and saw a Red 8 next to me and honked as I passed. They caught up to me at the light on the okeechobee rail road tracks. I think I drove through city place after that. I frequent the Angelo's and Maxies there also.

Yup. It counts. I'm out in loxahatchee myself, so I'm not too far from you. There's a TON of RX8's out here. At least 5 that I've counted already. Hell, my next door neighbor has one!!!

So are any of my fellow WPB people previous rotary owners? Or are you all rotary virgins. :P

This my first rotary.

The Ti I saw was going East on Okeechobee and ended up parking in the same garage as me at City place. Were you with your wife?

Glad to see this thread going!

Yup another virgin here but I love it (except for the trips to the pump)

I am single so I was solo that night. The red 8 that I spoke to briefly at the light had a woman with him but again that car was red. hmmm not sure who that could have been. But if you see a Ti in the area it could be me.

Oh and one other thing rx8gator, WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!

just a little SEC love.

Rotary virgin here. Quite the experience. Finding this forum has helped so much. I've posted some threads on the Tech board and General Automotive board. This is the first car I've ever gotten that I actually need to get an education about. See you guys on the road.

I used to own a '94 rx7, so that's why I asked. I traded it in at the palm beach auto mall for the 8. I miss my boost. lol.

I have a message for rx8gator as well......


GO NOLES!!!!!

That would be cool...but hard for me with two kids!! I live in W. Lake Worth, about 20-25 min. from downtown. I would love to see all of us in a group though. No one down here has seen a sight like that!

BTW Paradigm, GO GATORS FOREVER!

Also, BTW, wait until I get my new vanity plate


RX-G8TOR .....Awesome!!!!!!

I'm up in the Gardens and could easily hop on the Turnpike to West Lake Worth....better cruising roads out there anyway. So limited in the city with all the lights and no stretches of road to enjoy the drive on. Gee - I wonder if Moroso would let us have some fun out there on their track....what do you think? Sounds good to me to try and get something to happen but would need some upfront planning time - so much life going on it's hard to know when I'm free. GO GATORSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs

Since I'm out in the middle of nowhere you guys can decide GO 'NOLES where and when you would all like to meet. I've got the Borla GATORS SUCK!!!! cat-back and the K&N intake. My rotary performance midpipe is in the mail, and I'll be ordering a greddy e-manage soon to retune the beast. If anyone wants to see/hear the exhaust and intake I'd be glad to meet somewhere. And all of my boyz from the other side of the rotary family *3rd gen rx7's* would be glad to join us as well.


*walks off muttering something about winning at the swamp last time FSU played UF*

Ok then...I wanna see that intake! How about a WPB RX-8 meet on "Leap Day"... Sunday Feb 29th at the Forest Hill mall. From 4 to whenever. Wear your best Noles/Gators gear. Any takers??

If this sounds acceptable to three or more of you folks, let's do it.
