Guys what happened? I stopped by like at 9 pm and only saw one red RX-8 parked near the entrance. I didn't see anyone else in the back side execpt for some low rider pick up trucks. I got out of work early too! Did I just get there too late?

Yo man, true, this city is a piece of crap!

I work real close to the gables! I wouldn't ignore ya man. I'm a noob on this forum.... I guess I better poke around and see if there are any meets down here. I got an automatic 8, totally stock... I've been modding my motorcycle and haven't touched my 8. I guess it's cause I have not even gotten into what can be done....yet

Drop me a line sometime! Hey is your car looking all nasty lately... all this damn construction is killing me man!

I know this thread is dead but thought I'd throw it out there, because I wave too and havent had a single one in return. I'm a black 8 in Loxahatchee (occasionally seen with a thin layer of white sand). I work in Boca though. Hopefully soon SOMEONE will wave back.

I just want you to know that I've owned the RX-8 since August 2003, and not one single driver I've ever seen in another RX-8 has EVER waved back at me. So I don't even bother anymore. Can't really be surprised in a greedy, conceited area like South Florida. Maybe I just look too threatening.

Lightbulb In Aventura

I live in Aventura and so far I haven't seen many 8's around, I drive almost every day to Mia Airport (work around there) but never seen another 8.

Anyway, when I see one I change lights or something and so far... no response either!!

Hey, let me know about the next meeting!!! we could meet around Aventura, is kind of central for all miami, broward 8's

Salute

I live in north West Palm and see the occasional 8 on the road. Most people don't even give you the nod. Depressing. . .

I had a great conversation with an 8 owner who is on here. I forgot the name but he drives a red 8 and droped his gearbox at morroso once.

I'm in the blue 8 with the dj sticker in the window. I always wave, we are distinct.

I think we are so shocked to see another 8 and check it out, by that time you have gone
bye. You know the traffic here is pretty amazing. Don't get pissed if we don't wave!

We still are in shock!!

I was down there last weekend. Saw a few 8's. I was looking to see if someone would wave.. hard to tell with the tint. Saw one in north Miami beach, looked green maybe?

Actually, the flywheel was changed before that, because about a month before moroso a friend was driving and he missed a 1-2 shift so bad it broke the fork. The tranny was overhauled and I had the flywheel installed then. The moroso incedent was a shattered bearing retainer. There's old posts on here from both incedents. The latter one with pic goodness. :D

And yes, I did get one run in. 15.4 @ 94. When you consider I spent all of first gear hopping and broke my tranny doing so, I guess it's not so bad.
