Cool Silver MS spotted; Greenway Pkwy & Scottsdale Rd

Spotted: Silver MS 8 with lots of sponsor decals.
Thursday June 30 about 5:30-5:45pm on Greenway Pkwy & Scottsdale road. We were both driving east and stopped at Scottsdale road; you were pole position in the left hand turn lane. I honked as we were approaching the light but you didn't hear/see me.

Another8Owner I think it was you?

Cave Creek Rd - Ti 8 - male & female switching drivers?

Saw you last Saturday June 25 on Cave Creek Rd just north of Deer Valley. Looks like the 2 people were trading spots to take the drivers seat :D I honked and you waved back.

Anybody here?

Sat July 9 Desert Ridge - Titanium spotted!

Parked in front of DSW, Ti with front/rear rotary accents, OEM spoiler and full aero pkg. I felt like such an azz because I drove by your car and was looking at your front air dam, then turned out of the lane to see you pulling out behind me. I wasn't ignoring you if you saw me...I was looking at your car! I always wave or honk when I see a fellow 8 pilot :D

Was it you?

Sat July 9, 5pm Tatum & Cactus Whitewater Pearl

Parked right by me in the shade The shade was beside Mervyn's there. White with chromed wheels & chromed license plate frame (no signage) and a rear window sticker of some (baseball?) ball team that I forget now... :o Your wheels are very very shiny.

I saw you :D





JedPack what'cha doing tooling around 32nd & Greenway down here in the valley 'eh? Did you ever get your wheels figured out or were your eyes playing tricks on you? (dark vs. light chrome)

Abbid - license plate of Chaos 'eh? I'll be on the lookout for that one.

OMG Yes! That was me like 5 cars down! It's so funny because w/the Oregon plate I thought of another8owner but all the MS stuff was gone and the badge was gone from the OEM trunk. Makes more sense...he's probably pulling all that other stuff off. I changed my plate but yes that was me in the same row.

Nice plate! I thought that maybe anouther8 had finally gotten himself some AZ plates when I was walking through. I was just one isle over and 2-3 rows farther from the main part of the mall.

Are you kidding? I see 3 or 4 commuting into work nearly every day. Quite a few "non-enthusiast" owners in the Ahwatukee/Chandler area. Looks like we (Rotorheads) need to do a LITTLE educating :D

Hope to see a lot of you Saturday night at our first Hot Summer Nights club meeting at the Safeway Plaza near 83rd Ave and Union Hills at 7:30 pm (20713 N. 83rd Ave).

No kidding. There's a black, silver and red in my neighborhood that have ignored every wave I've given them. Find myself not even bothering to say hello now unless I recognise the face.

I should be there Tim. Been looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Cool Boxcar. Looking forward to the get together. Yea, some people have no idea that there's a vast community of die-hard Rotorheads out there. I mean, come-on.... if the car doesn't excite and inspire you why did you buy it

See you tomorrow!

Nicely put RCCAZ. Can't really call myself a diehard rotorhead but this car has definately given me a greater appreciation for it's predesessors. There are so many cool rotories out there that I had no idea excisted till I bought my 8.

"I bought it because it's cute" or "the Seats 'hug' me". Thats what I get when I ask someone about thier 8. People are just clueless. DO SOME reasearch MORONS !!
Or go buy a pony car.
