Thumbs up Rx8 Sightings Thread

I figured instead of everyone writing an individual thread for sightings.... Let it all be here.

I've seen some in the garage at the dealer's over a month ago, but hadn't seen one driving until this week. I had my first "road sighting" of an RX-8 on Monday in the Ville-Saint Laurent industrial park. It was a Titanium beauty, same color that I ordered. The driver said he'd pre-ordered in January; we didn't get a chance to talk much through our windows at a stop sign, but I'm primed to receive mine "as soon as it comes in next week" (we've all heard that one before).

I seen one on Friday (Aug 22) in Pickering, and we cruised together until Ajax.

I talked to him about it (Silver GT) and then told him about the forum.

Re: Rx8 Sightings Thread

There's a yellow one in Gatineau (Hull) Québec. I saw it in a parking lot along Blvd. St-Joseph, where there used to be a yellow Integra Type R. I guess someone upgraded.

Titanium sighting

Was it on route 40? If so, it could have been me! I just got the car yesterday and it is a BLAST! Automatic notwithstanding...!

I have seen a silver one (can't tell if it's GS or GT) twice in the last two weeks here in the tri-cities.

Hehe...I *kind* of figured that. Still be hot as hell to see that chick driving a souped up Prelude, you should give her a call

Not sure that was me....I wasn't in that neck of the woods on Thurs. I'll keep an eye out for your Lude though!

Coincidence or what?!

So today, my first weekend after receiving my new Titanium Gray RX-8, I take my wife, her twin sister and her husband out for a spin outside Montreal. We went to drive some scenic areas with smooth, hilly roads winding gracefully through the lakes, going in a loop from Lachute to Morin Heights to Laurel to Lost River, then back to Lachute. The ride was thoroughly enjoyable and roomy enough for all.

And what did we see when we started on Route 329??? ANOTHER beautiful TITANIUM GRAY RX-8 pulling up behind us! Oncoming traffic must have thought we were going to a club meeting. After a few minutes we pulled over at the next safe opportunity and waited a bit but they didn't show up.

Note: some of the roads on this trip had been repaved last year, so they were really smooth, but some were hellish! Damn those Quebec winters. The best section, if you're looking for a nice ride in the area, was along Rte. Principale between Laurel and Rt. 364. Next trip will be the Lachute - Louisa (Chemin Dunany).
