Drove down to Irvine this weekend, looking forward to spotting some 8's (there aren't very many up in SB).

Sure enough:
green one on Jamboree, saturday ~ 5:30 isH?
Black one in the middle of campus - female asian driver, leaky back right tail light (you need to get that replaced, they'll do it for free!)
Silver one - crap, I don't remember where we were....

I was the WWP w/ the Mazdaspeed front (albeit mighty dirty)...

Ventura County is full of old ladies driving automatic RX-8s with no sort of modifications...not even tint! They probably feel cool because they think they're driving a V8.

haha, exactly. I live in Camarillo, too. There's at least three or four different automatic 8s in town driven by old ladies all stoked on their V8 speed machines. It's pretty depressing.

more than likely...

if you spot a Sunlight Silver with really dark tint, no spoiler, and rolling on 16's in Irvine around Jamboree

it's me...and yes...i saw you haha

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. I hate Scion TCs just because everyone that drives one thinks it's super fast and they always try to race me. I think they missed the part where it's an economy car with a bad body kit...

I hate it with a passion, but one of my good friends bought one last week and I had to bite my tongue and pretend I liked it for an hour while he raved about how cool it was and what a deal he got for 20k. Could have bought a used RX-8...

20k is ridiculous for the tC (unless he got that special edition). but the tC is ridiculously easy and cheap to mod, so it's like the ultimate ricer car. case in point, you can buy the trd supercharger (off of internet retailers) and have it installed by toyota for around $2500. That's a legal boost in hp to 220 with less than $3k! wish our rx8's were like that.

A silver RX-8 parked next to me at Pomona First Baptist in the north lot last night (Sunday) at 5PM. I've seen their car in the lot prior. Does it happen to be anyone here?

Theres always a stock blue rx8 cruising the opposite side of the road on my way to work. Him and I always pass right next to eachother going diffrent directions. I slowed down the 1st time, gave him the peace sign... nothing.
The next time I saw him, I just starred at him.... nothing...

Either Cocky or blind...
...or in Shock from seeing my beautiful rx8

anyway, I NEVER see modded rx-8's or even rx-7's when im driving my car.
when im in my Gfs car or any other car, I see them ALL THE TIME!!!
I even see some rx8's racing on the FWY, RX8s drifting, lol all sorts of random weird ****. but NEVER when im in my 8
