Extra points for anyone who sees an 8 that's not being used as a battering ram.

Ivory8's version of the Mach 5

Hey Ivory8,

Your rendition of my proposed RX8/mach 5 edition is awesome. I am sure a lot of us on the site got a kick out of it. The big "M" on the hood was a great touch, not to mention putting Spritle, Chim Chim and Pops Racer in the frame. I couldn't have done it better myself. Thanks for taking the time to give us a few laughs. Now........does anyone know a good airbrusher in the Socal area whao can convert my car to look like this?

Thanks again,
Machfive

no offense, but if u do actually convert your 8 to look like that cartoon car, be prepared for the ensuing flaming that will follow... <LOL>

Hey Detrich

No way I would EVER paint my car like a cartoon. Maybe if I was 15 years old and living in 1970. Just thought it was funny how everyone was playing the joke up.

Another Socal sighting

Saw a BB A/T 8 on Sun. 06-10-07 at approximately 5:15 pm. Being driven by a W/M with glasses and had a W/F in the front seat. They were on Highland by the Ocean near Rosecrans in Manhattan Beach and were heading north. Went by too fast for a picture.

you should just say hi to all the 8 owners you see. It'll probably be easier than all these FC owners getting asked "Are you Romeo?"

Another Southbay sighting

Say a Galaxy gray 8 parked at the corner of Highland and 33rd St. in Manhattan Beach on Tue. 06-12-07 at approximately 3:50 pm. Car had aftermarket rims (TVS maybe) that were grayish in color. Forgot cell phone, so no pic. Anyone there?
