Would love to have an Atlanta meet, with all welcome. Met a new Titanium owner who is a fellow student at Georgia Tech. I am sure he would come. How bout a thursday at the Varsity? After work/class?

You won't catch me heading downtown on a weekday during rush hour. I imagine a weekend would be preferable to most people.

Its easy to head downtown during rushhour, its just not easy to head OUT of downtown. 2 years of living downtown has shown me that. I have attended a few Mazda meets, including a nice RX7 club one on a thursday night at around 7, and no one complained about the traffic. I would want to set up a meet where many would come though, so I will bow to popular opinion. I have been to many car shows since I got the car, and have only had one brother parked next to me. Must not only be the traffic.

Yet another in Atlanta

Titanium Gray

Commute from just off LaVista (ITP) to North Druid Hills/85 - about 5 miles. Short commute kills my mileage - getting about 14. Still better than the 50-60 minute Lawrenceville to North Druid Hills trip like I used to do...

hey mshumaker,
Do you shop at the Publix in Toco Hills shopping center? I think I saw your car there a few weeks ago ... seeing yours inspired me to get the Titanium color over black. I live off of N. Decatur, so we're pretty much neighbors.

I saw a silver on 285E a little over a week ago. Passed me as I was getting off on the Vinnings exit. Mine still had the Dealer tag on it. Anyone?

I got my Red RX8 (red/black leather int) in Nov 2003, but I live in Jonesboro, so I haven't seen ANYONE! I frequent the board and would love to ride around the ATL. I work out of town (below Newnan) which is probably why you haven't seen me. I'll be the one with the chrome snyper wheels and should get more playing time once school is out. (I teach)
p.s. I went to the Autozone meet, but I think it was the wrong day!

Add another Red to the ATL List.

I live on North Ave Downtown.
I've only seen 4 others over the last month.
One was yesterday afternoon, a red one on 41 in Marietta

Take Exit 111, Left onto L'ville/Suwanee Rd (i think that's the name) Go about 3 miles till you cross the tracks and look for Brogden Rd immediately after the tracks on the right...go down Brogden until you reach Brogden Exchange on the left (about 1.5) and Boost Solutions is on the corner...You should see the Red EVO, i'm sure it's still there...maybe i'll see you guys up there...

I'm leaving West Point in a bit and heading up that way...I'll be up there around 14:00 today and noon tomorrow...

I have a blue one. Live in Acworth and work in Kennesaw. Have seen a black and red one arround here, but only once each. Wish they would have flashed their lights or waved.

LOVE MY 8. Had it since New Years Eve. Had fun giving the sales man a REAL test drive.

Now have 5500 miles.

Yesterday (about 7:15am) was the first time that I saw another 8 on the road - from Thanksgiving to now! They were on Hwy 85 heading north in Fayetteville. I was going south in my Velocity Red.

Wow! So many 8 owners in the area, yet I've only seen a few on the roads.

I picked up my Silver Touring/Appearance/Spoiler/6Spd on 4/15 at Roswell Mazda. I had a great experience there by the way.

I live in the Vinings area and cover pretty much all of North Atlanta. I saw a very pretty young lady driving a Silver 8 on Delk last night (4/22) and she was the first to wave! Thanks for the acknowledgement whoever you were!
