Saw TWO 8's this morning just seconds apart! I was sitting at the intersection of Euclid and Talbert when 2 RX-8's went down Talbert.

Winning blue RX-8 looked stock with the exception of what appeared to be aftermarket bulbs for blinkers. (PIAA??) I drove behind him for a while (after some "agressive" driving to catch up) and even pulled up next to you. No love.




Other RX-8 was a Phantom Blue. I didn't get a chance to catch up to you since you turned south on Fairview St. Anyone here?

I took the pic with my LG VX8600 phone and then just uploaded it to my photobucket account.
I have photobucket programmed in my phone as a contact and I send it as a pic message.

Hey Jedi, I think I should get the prize for the worst pics. Mine suck, but I try nevertheless.

Saw an silver RX-7 (1983 - 1985) in downtown Long Beach on Fri. night around 11:30pm. I was getting gas at the Shell station on the corner of Ocean & Alamitos. It was headed on Ocean Blvd. towards the Gerald Desmond bridge, either to get on the 710 North, or over to San Pedro.

Anyone out there.

Almost forgot. Saw a red RX-7 (1988 maybe) last Sunday night around 9:15 pm exiting the beach parking lot from Dockweiler Beach in El Segundo at the corner of Grand & Vista Del Mar.

It was driven by a B/M with a personalized tag "LIKEMLO". He definitely liked lowered cars because this one was really close to the ground. It had a nice ground effects kit and some really nice rims.

The problem was the exhaust. I am not trying to flame, but it sounded horrible to me. Just not my style at all. Almost as if you tried to get a good sound out of your Briggs & Stratton lawn mower. Even my wife said it sounded bad. But it looked clean for it's age.

No pics here either.

Saw another red RX-7 today (Sat.) at 3:50pm weaving in and out of traffic on Sepulveda Blvd. heading towards Manhattan Beach from El Segundo. I tried to catch up to it to get a picture but we were in my wife's SUV at the time and there was a lot of traffic.

I turned onto Manhattan Beach Blvd. and barely caught a glimpse of him as he jetted out of there.

Yeah, that's him way out front in the right lane.
