They had a Titanium/Chaparral/no NAV RX-8 at the Atlanta Auto Show this weekend. I've heard this car has been at other auto shows so I'd expect to see it at yours too. Someone said he told them he'd pre-ordered one and they let him sit in it.

Quick search turned up this.
http://fort.lauderdale.eventguide.co...ent/100281.htm
Starts the 19th and goes through the 23rd.

A friend of mine saw a red rx-8 driving on south beach today with no tag. Im guessing it will be the one at the show. Ill be there for sure on Saturday the 22nd to check it out.

I too ordered the Titantium gray.

Someone please let us know for sure which 8's are at the show. If there is a Gray one at the show, I'll make the trip from Daytona.

I would think you would just take I-95 south all the way until you get to Broward Blvd. and exit there. At that point yhou are like a block away and can ask anyone where the Broward County Convention Center is and they should know. I have the exact address but I don't know exactly how to get there from Broward Blvd. and 95.

BTW: Is that your plate in your avatar? If so, how did you get it already?

This is what you do. Take I-95 to broward blvd. Head east to South federal Highway. Turn right to SE 17th str. Make a left onto se 17th. When you get to Eisenhower Boulevard turn right it will be on the left side. Let us know how it went

Yes, that is my plate. RX-8

When I renewed my tag in February, I asked the gal at the DMV if she could check to see if a specific tag were available. She checked and it was available, so I got it. She asked if I was a pharmacist. The tag arrived last week.

Anyhow, the only small problem I have now is that I am supposed to put this on my current car, 90 Accord Ex 4dr. Somehow I do not think so.

The full pic is in the RX-8 Forum > Regional Forums > SE RX-8 Forum > Any pre-order from FL? http://www.rx8forum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1843

So I went to the freakin show, fully expectin to see an RX-8.....not only was it not there, the show was extremely LAME!!! Nothin' to see that I could not see in a showroom here in town except a Dodge Avenger and a 2004 Grand Prix. WHOPPEE!!! I am tellin ya, even if you live across the street, don't bother with this sorry excuse for a show. (hmmm....seems I am being a liitle vague about my feelings here)
