New RX8 owner in Charlotte NC

Hello everyone in the South East! Just wanted to introduce myself. I just bought an 04 rx8 this past weekend and couldn't be more happy with my purchase so far! It's been a while since I had a fun car to drive so I'll be enjoying it for a long time. If your around Charlotte NC let me know.

I'm a big forum user so I look forward to learning and hopefully contributing to the forums. If there are events or get together's in the area I would like to know.

Thanks!

Josh

Nice, I'm up in the university area right now. Just been back in Charlotte for a few months. I'll check out the Charlotte club and let you know if I'm rolling out to any events. Thanks for the response.

I'm in Pineville, just moved here. I've only seen 2 other 8s so far, including a red one in my apt complex.

Hey man, like Top said welcome to the club! I'm down in Wilmington but there is a thread for NC owners on this website. See if you can find it and you could then find out all the info you need to about NC RX8s. Congrats on the purchase.

Seems like I've seen more 8's out recently. On my way up to Boone this weekend I saw 2 yellow RX-8s for sale at two diffferent dealerships.

Probably me. I live off Prosperity Ch. Rd. and was at the meet Friday night with some friends. If you were at the meet, you might have noticed my alarm kept going off...

One week today.

Just finally got my car in yesterday, we had it shipped out. So if you see a black RX-8 with OEM pale gold wheels, that's me! Honk & wave if you see me. When are we all meeting up so I can meet the other 8s around here?

I just bought my RX8 a month ago I love it, I'm actually in the Concord area, I have been suprised that I havnt seen a lot of these cars on the road around here. I purchased an 05 Grand Touring, it is the favorite car I have EVER driven. So congrats I know you gotta love it.

Awesome to see all of these new owners in the Charlotte area. You guys need to come to some of the meets. There is a vote going on right now on cltrx8club.com as to when the next meet should be.

Wow I had no idea there were do many 8's nearby! We need to schedule a meet for sure. Is everyone familiar with the concord mills mall? That might be a good area to meet up at.

Oh if there are any UFC fans I'm heading to Fox and Hound by Northlake mall for the fight this weekend. 8 drives are more than welcome! I manage professional fighters and one of my guys will be there for the fight so come out and enjoy some good times!

Adino there is an RX-8 Club in Charlotte. Check the boards and we are having a "Road Trip Meet" on the 19th. Otherwise we meet on the first Saturday of the month for a social event.
