I'm from around Pasadena, very close to the Santa Anita Race track. Loving my rx. I am kind of worried about reading the posts about the idling. So far my idling has been fine, but wondering how big of a problem it might become in the near future.

Wait a second, I'm driving a silver too.. and I've seen 3 other silvers in OC, so it can be any one of us

So far I'm waiting to see a Green on the road still.

Hey Skagen,

If you see one of my buddies in your area driving around in a grey automatic Lexus IS300, tell him, "Jack said you're still a poser!" :D

You live around the Santa Anita race track?
So do I!
Actually just staying here in my parent's place for the holidays
while I will school in Vegas by mid January.

So far, around our area, I've only seen a grey one in Alhambra near Valley and Del Mar (asian kid driving) and another grey one parked at Diamond Plaza (where Life Plaza and Arcade Infinity are..) off the Fullerton Exit of Azusa.

I will be looking out for a silver, then!

Getting slightly off topic here but couple of days ago my family and I went x-mas lights touring. I knew there was a grey RX-8 in the Valencia area... So my wife spots a brightly lit street and one of the houses in the driveway was a grey RX-8!. lol...

A bit more OT. Rolled into the office to see if there's anything I could do to help out. It's pretty sleepy and dead so I'm going to go take off early and take a tour of the canyon roads. Todays itinary, a bit of Mulholland followed by Tuna Canyon. Back on to the highway up to Little Tujunga, Sand Canyon, Vasquez, then back home via Bouquet Canyon. Here's to burning $20 worth of rubber and $12 of gas!
