I was the black one in manhattan beach. My friend lives around there and I usually park there.

That IS a crazy intersection. Just left Big Wok Mongolian BBQ in MB and was heading to the 76 gas station on Marine & Highland. It's one of the cheaper places in the area for 91 octane. I have NO upgrades on my 8 yet, but MS exhaust will be 1st.

My camera is a Motorola Q camera phone I leave it in the cupholder while I am driving in case I see any 8's on the road while I am driving.

I've had a few close calls waiting for my "Q" to boot up. This "I saw u today" forum is like a big game & I am constantly scanning the road for RX-8's.

My wife is in New Orleans, LA visiting family & she just called to say that she saw a white RX-8 in the French Quarter on Decatur St. (not that anyone on the west coast would know where that is, but it's 3 blocks from Bourbon St.)

It's funny how even those people who don't own an 8, but are associated with their owner's notice other 8's on the road.

Slow driver

Saw a stormy blue mica on July 4th getting on the 405 S. at Rosecrans at 6:05 pm(I think it was Rosecrans). Anyway I slowed down to get a picture but the driver would never catch up. I slowed down to 55 mph and gave up after 1 mile when I realized the 8 did not get off the 405, but was not catching up either.

I spotted VR Rx8 out of the corner of my eye so me and my girlfriend parked next to him. i dont think he seen me but he was parked at the Tracy West Valley Mall. His car was way cooler then mine. Two tone red/black leather seats, fog lights, sun roof, and rotary emblems in the front.

let me know if your on here i dont know many people with 8s in my area.

i seen a few this week.
just saw a silver one today after work... i saw it at the gas station... i slowly pulled up.... got NEXT to Her. it was an older lady and a young dude in the passenger seat.

Yeah, i thought, "eh, its just a lady who bought the car just cuz she liked it..."
but she had some really nice rims on it.... so i started to think she was one of us....

so i make eye contact (while pumping gas).... nothing
even the dude in the passenger seat was scared to look over.
so either she/ they werent one of us... or..... they thought I wanted to race them or something and scared them off, hahaha....

either way. Im tired of pulling up next to 8's and getting no love
I should go down to your guys' area :D I'll be giving thumbs up to ever 8 I see... haha

late.

Dejavu Romeo

Yesterday (07-05-07) at 6:30pm I saw a galaxy gray 8 getting gas in Long Beach at the Chevron near 1st & Alamitos. It was driven by an older white female with silver/gray hair and had a much younger white male passenger. The car had chromed rims but neither the driver nor passenger would make eye contact with me.

BTW...I was not driving my 8 at the time, so I will cut them a little slack as I appeared to be just another guy in an SUV (wife's car) getting gas.

Pretty funny how we both saw older females with younger males getting gas in an 8. Like I said.....dejavu.
