Seen way too many 8s lately, kinda pissing me off

I think I used to have the ONLY 8 at my college. Now, almost a year after I bought it, there's two galaxy greys, a whitewater pearl, a velocity red, a brilliant black driven by a GIRL and a sunlight silver (AT LOL).

But, of course, for every 8 I see, there's at LEAST four 350Zs. lol @ terribly overrated, generic, straight-line gimmick, no soul "sports car".

Thats really funny that you got off in FV... I Work RIGHT next to where you were talking about.

Im on Brookhurst and Talbert.

But yah pretty funny to be bored at work in the afternoon, pop onto the forums and see 3 different posts from you from different locations in SoCal about different 8s you have seen hehehe.

yaa...they're starting to get really common. i feel bad saying it, cuz i hate when people exclude others, but it's also starting to bug me how alot of people have them but just see them as a form of transportation. don't know that they're rare or how they're different from other cars.

I don't see any when I drive.

The only thing I see are Mustangs, Z's, BMW, and the Mercedes S something or another.

I used to see at least a couple a week for a couple of months before I got mine last summer.

yup. it sucks. monday-thursday though, so i miss out on friday evening traffic. unless i'm going to LA, then it sucks even more. but i'm trying to talk the parental units into getting me a place closer to LB, cut down on gas and just sitting on the freeway, waiting for the spectator traffic to die down

Actually its not that bad when you look at it in miles... just time.. so cal traffic = hours added to your commute

mmm, true. long beach is about 22 miles away from my house. the drive, however, ranges from 20 minutes, to an hour and 20 minutes. and for LA, the drive can take anywhere from half an hour (with some speed racer driving), to well over 2 hours. makes me want to move to montana or somewhere that's just empty

Got you beat on the time frame.

Live in Cypress used to work in Irvine, took me 3 hours to get home one day.

Also, Lived up in Santa Barbara for a while going to School up there at Brooke's and it took me almost 8 hours to get back down to Orange County.


I wanted to shoot myself in the face....
