I saw 2 RX-8's on the 210 yesterday (BB, LY) but I wasn't in my RX-8.
Which part of 210

Yeh that was me, i was on my way to church. Aha, i saw 2 rx-8's on my way, first was on grand on the transition from chino hills to db where those hillls and cows are.

Then i saw you Silver 8 right when i turned. Yeh, got ms style front, mint blue sides, rear, blacked out lights, and the cf hood. Man i think i saw you already a long *** time ago, you rolled next to me while i was stock, and i said "nice ride" Aha. Hey come to this meet with me! Tonight in Chino Hills. You're Omar right?

Lots of looking in LA

OK so I drove down to LA yesterevening and saw quaite a few 8's

Saw a TG on the free way 10 near the conventions center.

Saw another TG on La Brea I think, you were there with me and ahead of me was this crazy road rage driver in a white camry.

Saw a WB in the parking structure (second level) of the A+D Museum (grand opening last night)

Finally i saw a BB near Brea near Pinks hot dogs and Stir Crazy coffe shop.

So did any one see me?

You had a HUGE GT wing on it!! Anyone here?

Mezmorada: That's exactly the guy that I was thinking about when I saw it! (just couldn't find the thread...)

It did look just like that and Alhambra isn't too far from Tustin. Might have to send him a PM.

Galpin Mazda had some crazy 8 with blinged out 20's, full ms kit, tint, etc. The kicker was that the car was painted orange/purple/red/etc depending on the angle the light was reflected. Hah, the salesman tried to sell me that and one of his pitches was, "You can say, 'my rx-8 is in the 2006 Galpin Calendar!'"

Yeah, I sent him a PM to see if it was him. It's always a bummer when people get flamed so bad that they leave a forum, just because of a few bad apples.

the galpin-ized rx-8 is actually a 2004 brilliant black w/ all the options. it used to show up in the inventory searches on mazdausa.com. when i was searching for mine, i called them and they said that car was no longer its original color... it's in their showroom and i think it makes u look at it, but only because it's so ugly u can't not do a double take on it. no wonder they can't sell it. HAHAHAHAHAHAH
