How come 8s in Vegas arent all nice and w/e

I dont think that made any sense...but am I the only one that noticed that 8 drivers in Vegas dont wave/flash their lights or anything like 8's in the rest of the country do? Ive seen so many 8's on the road and only has ever done the whole random coming up and talk to u thing...

or is it just me? lol

i don't think you are alone, its b/c most 8 owners arent enthusiasts who don't give a **** that you have an 8 too. in la ive seen 3-6 on the road each way to school for the past 2 years and probably 1 or 2 have waved

lol if u do that, u will most likely get the finger Unless u are driving ur 8, then i'll be all nice and **** lol

*off topic* some guy honked at me cause I paused like 2 seconds when the light turned green...and I gave him the finger and he pulls up next to me, apologizes, and asks me not to be mad at him............lolololol i almost died...what a loser

I honk, wave and blink... I'm Lightning Yellow w/ Vanity Plates...NEVR410 (Metro's code 410 is for driving reckless...so hence, "Never Reckless" (A total lie)..yes, my hubbie is Metro, on the Harley..so If ya get pulled over, tell him you love his wife's yellow 8, if you get a weird look, well, it wasn't him! HA!
I am usually just a blur, but if I see your girl, I can show you a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

BTW I had the same experience in front of the Galleria yesterday...***** in a blue 8 flipped me off for shadowing next to him! I was like what the...How RUDE! And I am soooo cute! Not that all boys are ******...just that one...ok well, there's a few out there..Especially the ones in the pickups! WHY? Is it we are so low, they don't see us? Is it jealousy? Yes! I think it must be jealousy!!

Didn't seem like it today... All I got was a head nod and a bad *** attitude... Didn't even stop or acknowledge that i was there...Especially when I followed you all the way around Wells Fargo to drop off your mom or someone...

You can be catagorized with the other non rx8 enthusiasts...

I was also in LA... sunday and monday. I dont think i saw you though... I only saw 1 rx-8 there. It was parked and no body there, so can't wave hi... lol

Hahaha... that's exactly what i did to flipstream (mister renesis plates). waved at him, followed him, and saw only a head nod...

Well, I'll be in Vegas for the Rodeo Finals and if I see you, I'll wave, BUT, I probably won't be in my 8 as I'll have hubby and both kids with me. Where would be put the luggage for us for 3 nights away? Anyway, if you see a wave or thumbs up from a maroon lexus or red 8 I'm just being nice.

I saw like two 8's yesterday and they both shot me death looks when I waved. grrr, u people. We need to organize a meet out here so I can meet owners who dont instantly make me hate them.

Vegas Rotary has a meet like every week...we should all go meet up wit them sometime...just a thought...

WTF?!?! That was you?! .. first of all, its one thing to acknowledge someone--but to follow one around... "Especially when I followed you all the way around"..i mean LITERALLY follow one around to the point like a stalker is the wrong way of doing things. Second, i was talking to my son in the back seat... so i don't know where this "bad ***" attitude you're referring to is coming from. Don't be so quick to judge... as far as i'm concerned, if someone--ANYONE starts following me around (rx8 or not) and say nothing when they pull up next to me like you did... i'd wonder WTF that person was doing.

You can be categorized with the other non-normal rx8 drivers.
Oh, and as far as calling me a non-enthusiast... don't speak of things you know nothing about.

Funny krazieKave, I noticed somewhere you went to Vegas and I was wondering if you took the 8. I'd love to take mine when we go but it's not too practical on that trip with a family of four. Don';t you kinda hate it when you see an 8 and you're not in yours?
