Lack of enthusiasm in Monterey?

Group:

Please tell me there's more enthusiasm among the RX8 owners in the Monterey peninsula than I experienced last weekend. I actually saw a lot more cars than I've seen here in San Diego, including two parked in officials' spots at Laguna Seca. But the ones I saw on the street were filthy dirty, and the owners seemed unaware of what they were driving - including that they were sitting next to another one at a stoplight. Whattup?

Well, it's no different in the Los Angeles area, at least lately. I've waved and gotten the "deer in the headlights" look from other drivers. I too have also seen some VERY dirty 8s. But there's nothing you can do about that, they may not have the passion as some owners have about the car.

I can vouch for it not being different in LA. I have tried a couple of times to get a local drive started but it's been a no go.

Dirty cars indicate a lack of passion? Then my wife (pikachu RX-8, MS body kit, JIC FLT-A2 coilovers, Racing Beat front/rear sway bars and exhaust, Canzoomer chip) and I (BMW 540i, Dinan stage 3 suspension, MAF and throttle body, Quaiffe ATBD, Rogue Engineering lightweight flywheel, engine mounts and short shifter, Stoptech front brakes, twin a/d/s PH30.2 amps, MB Quart speakers, twin Image Dynamics subs, Alpine DVD changer, surround sound processor and 6.5" LCD screen) are some of the most boring people you'll meet. :p

We don't wash our cars daily (or even weekly) but I don't think you'll meet many people who enjoy driving their cars as much as we do. And until last year we even lived in Santa Cruz.
