Well after careful consideration and review. I have come to the conclusion that the BEST looking NG RX-8 is,,,,,

"Swtblnde"

You reealize there is no competition in this catagory. No NG can compare to Sue's NG RX-8.

Hey Alister,

Got to check out your car up close and personal last Sunday (or was it Saturday??) at Chandler Mall. My weekends sometimes just blurr into one comfortably numb memory. You were parked outside of CheeseCakeFactory. The wiffy and I were in Borders and other places shopping and when we came back out I soptted your ride. Very nice indeed. Have you always had those wheels or are they new? Anyway, we hung out for a few minutes hoping to see you returning, but then the wife said "c'mon, let's go." She just doesn't understand the Brotha-Hood!

Wow, that is awesome! Did you take the miata or the rx7 to the mall? My wife and I were at the mall for our anniversary picking out some gifts. Thanks for the compliments, I had the wheels on since I bought the car, but I am sorry you had to see it in such a dirty condition, I haven't had the morale to wash it because of the weather. We really have to meet up sometime so I can check out your miata and rx7.

BTW, I went to the mall w/the wifey today and as we were driving there we saw a bright red miata w/a hard top and cool looking after market wheels. As I passed him going the opposite way I saw him checking out my ride and im sure he saw me checking out his. You wouldn't happen to know who that is do you?

I spotted a BB GT on the westbound 101 headed home. The tint was dark but it looked like a younger woman driving.

I thought about stopping her to ask her to marry me but I was hungry. You know, priorities.

A new blue

Spotted a sort of stealth dark blue - looks black from 1 angle in Folsom, CA on Wednesday. It is a new 2008 color - have not seen this in AZ yet.

No one can see my car :-(.

We should start a "I heard your RX8" thread...I'd be in there every day!

Agreed... too bad that we didn't connect, but we'll keep trying. Those Advan wheels are HOT. Definitely something you don't see every day. As far as the Miata goes, I only have limited time to hang out with enthusiasts, so I tend to stick with the younger Rotorheads versus the +60 Miata Crowd (sorry for the stereotype). As far as the Miata you saw, it could have been this one for sale on Craigslist:

It's incredible and has had me thinking of upgrading my green one. We'll see!

I also saw a VR on the way to Peoria. It had a MS nose that was painted to cover the TiT accents on the bottom.
It also had the appearance package wing. Driven by a blonde in sunglasses on the 101 west-bound around 54th ave or so.

That car Dave is talking about above was driven by a male, bearded, about 30 years old.

Tagged a GG today at Ulta on McDowell & Litchfield Park new "paper plates". Also saw BB on 83rd Ave & Van Buren. Waved but I guess I was in stealth mode. Or "his" passenger didn't like the fact that I waved

I saw another Ti on that way home from go-karting last night on the 51 north. Followed me in the HOV lane and got off at Greenway with me. Couldn't keep up with me after 19th ave

I saw a BB ripping up Beardsley headed to the 101 around 5 pm this evening. I thought for a moment it was my alter ego cause whoever it was, was hauling ***.
