Oops... :P There is a meet this saturday, at OC or Southbay... but I think most of the people are going to the OC Tustin one to check out Mikeb's new toy Aerowerks Kit in person. Possibly the Aerowerks guy will be there to answer any questions.

Wait a sec... You call it Ren, but was that your license plate? That didn't look like a plate, more like a dealer advertisement thing.

how come i never see any 8's around ventura, oxnard, or thousand oaks? I've only seen two. One was in Oxnard parked by quizno's and the other i saw about a day or two ago on the 101 around thousand oaks going towards ventura.

Hey Konig, I took my RX8 to Oxnard to visit my parents at College Estates last weekend. I saw no 8's around also and it was pretty weird driving down Rose Ave. near Colonia hehe. Anyways, Oxnard is my home town. Channel Islands HS Raiders!!!

Maybe it's the people that live in Cerritos. A 25k-30k car fits right in the mold of Cerritos residents. It's not that unresonable to see RX-8s in the HS here in Cerritos because of graduation presents and such. Also some parents buying them for their kids in Cerritos.

So Wednesday 6/30/04 going home on the 5 South near El Toro Y and I have a silver automatic on my right and a black on the left. Looked like an RX-8 parade for the 4th of July.

As usual I tried to make eye contact to greet and neither wanted to be acknowledged.

Ya know, I don't think many of the newer owners of the RX-8 knows about the RX-8 club, or the fact that it would be nice to acknowledge each other. I'm sometimes hesitant to wave or something because I'm not sure if they even know this board or not... <That's why the sticker is key here...>

Oulaw,

Being on this forum has little to do with greeting fellow RX-8 drivers on the road, it is just common courteousy. I sense that people (specially South OC) like exclusivity and when they see another one like theirs they just don't like it.

Anyway, my feelings weren't hurt or anything.

What area? Yellow seems to be more common than I'd like to be here in OC. I saw another one parked 1 street down in my neighborhood! =( I wanted to be one of the only yellow ones in my general area.

Anyhow mine is yellow. Look for anhichiban license plate. =)

What I mean is.. do you see people driving Civics waving to each other? Or G35 drivers waving back to each other? Let alone 350z drivers? If people came to this board, or the So Cal RX Club board, etc etc.. they might know we are acknowledging each other..etc etc. To a new buyer of an RX.. that has no history of any RX.. they wouldn't know why we were even waving at them.

Can you imagine ALL the Honda Accord drivers waving to each other in So Cal? They would have to amputate their arms afterwards.

I think in OC at least, everyone and their mom's have an RX-8. :P

Saw a new Titanium going to Beverly Center last night, guy with his girl friend... I tried waving, but don't think he knew what the heck I was doing... gave me that look like, "Awww man I'm not special anymore, some other guy has the same car."

Outlaws eXtreme - I had that happen a while ago. OC has a lot of rx-8s :P But thats alright by me. Sometimes I get the blue mazda 3's or 6's i forget which one confused as rx-8s at first glance.

Sighting: Red RX-8 from Tustin Mazda at the Block of Orange right by Dave and Busters. 10pm?

I parked right next to it, I like to see these babies in pairs. I always pass by Mazda Headquarters on Redhill and see a dozen parked there.

I'd like to check out an RX club meet, but 11am is killer for me. I work til 6am Saturday mornings. =(

As good as that sounds, it will be extremely difficult to sit at iHop from 6am-11am. That's like a part time shift. Don't worry I'll be out there by end of summer. Shift change =)

Though I appreciate the offer boost to go. anhichiban will be there next time!
