I don't know how much longer I can handle the RX-8 with gas prices like they are. I love it to death, but Mazda really screwed up on horsepower with this car. I can't help but feel jipped when I consider the gas mileage versus how much power it has...

don't blame mazda, blame the government emissions standards. they could've made it much more powerful but the rotary is very polluting hehe

PhotoChick: are you writing down your locations and times when you see people? haha Or do you just have a knack for remembering when/where you see another RX8? I always forget by the time I get home and sit down at my computer

i used Arco gas in the early 90's, but i noticed that their gas evaporates in the tank... LOL. well, other ppl i compared notes with seemed to experience the same issue- ie gas not lasting very long compared to other brands. back then they also didn't carry 91 octane.

remember those TV commercials Arco used to run with the taxi drivers blindfolded and saying Arco gas is the SAME as every other gas? Geez, i wonder why they had to run an ad campaign like that? LOL

anyhoo... i've been Arco Free since the early 90's and ain't ever planning on going back- short of all other gas stations blowing up.

On sunday, I just remembered, I drove next to a BB with a chrome B pillar and a killer exhaust system on 101S near Moorpark. It had orange calipers w/ the RX-8 sticker on them. Looked good too! Anyone here?

Nearly everyday I see a silver RX-8 with tinted windows, body kit, aftermarket rear spoiler, cat-back, and HKS license plate frame at Cal Poly Pomona in the parking garage. Anyone here?

So... I saw three different RX-8's today in the same parking lot... that's excluding mine.

They were all found at the Super Autobacs parking lot at around 7:45-ish.
I saw the red one took off and gave him a thumb's up.


Sorry, my camera phone sucks...
Anyways, that's my 8 to the left of it in the picture


This one parked opposite of the Titanium Gray. I saw the guy leave and gave him a thumb's up while I was heading to my car.


This one was parked a couple spaces to the right of the red one.

Do you have a better picture of your RX-8? I'm not a huge fan of body kits, but from the looks of that picture, yours looks really nice.
