Hey guys,

I'm a previous owner who is very soon returning to the platform. I was the original owner of an '05 GT and only sold it two years in because it was costing me too much at the time. Since then I've spent a lot of time with a 3000GT VR-4, and the community here in the Northwest is pretty great. I'm wondering how it is with the RX-8 platform. This forum seems a little quiet; is there another one more active? I ask because the 3000GT national community resides at 3si.org, whereas the PNW community is at nw3s.net.

Anyway, I should have another '05 GT within the next week or two, and I'd love to meet with some other local owners. I remember getting waves and fog light flashes from other RX-8 owners when I had my original; I hope that exclusive club feeling hasn't left us all

I live in Duvall and work at the main Microsoft campus. Any other Microsofties out there?

Hope to meet you all soon!

Welcome! Pre-grats on you're upcoming 8.

I'm going to post a meet this weekend for end of feb in Seattle/Renton. As it warms up well get back into the dicks meets again

 

Welcome! Yeah the NW side has been a bit quiet lately, but the main body of the forum is still kicking.

 

Great to hear! I should have the keys to the RX-8 the weekend of Feb 23rd/24th if all goes well with the sale of my 3000GT.

 

Cool. My previous car was a 3000GT. Good luck with the new 8

 

i love when i see other 8's on the road. or if i meet drivers i always talk to them. mostly to tell the about the whole engine replacement thing.

i know some people here like to put your wiper blades up lol

 

Welcome back to (soon) having an RX-8 again!

There's always a few people here or there, but the active community isn't very large.


If I added up all the other random RX-8's I've seen driving around, that have acknowledged or even noticed me during my 9 years with my car in the PDX area, I could easily count them on one hand.

 

Such a thing never happens........

 

I hope there are some events coming up. Finally moved back to the westside of Washington and it seems pretty quiet.

oh and congrats on your upcoming 8.

 

I've slacked posting the meet. Ill get on that today. If you're in mukilteo chances you'll see my car around.

 

I look forward to meeting you guys! I sold the 3000GT last Saturday, and I take delivery of my WWP GT this coming Sunday. Can't wait!
