saw two today
First was a tit grey running up the Parkway around 6 ( was that you Steve? ) Running is a bit of a joke, as the Parkway was bumper to bumper from the bottom all the way to Finch...
Then saw a Red one on 16th at the 404, heading west...
Anybody from here??

Saw a few this past week.
First one was last Sunday, the 18th, in Waterloo. A titanium grey 8 was waiting to turn onto University from the bottom of the expressway off-ramp. There were sheets of paper taped to the windshield and it looked like there were 2 or 3 people in there. I honked and waved and I think the driver spotted me just after I passed him.
I've seen the 2nd one twice. Lightning yellow, driver was wearing glasses and appeared to be asian (damn hard to tell with the door's tint being so dark.) Saw him Monday and then again Thursday on the same route, so I'm pretty sure this is his to-work route; up the expressway and then across Bridgeport...
Third one was yesterday at Square One. Titanium grey, he was at the first lights on Rathburn Road just off Hurontario, a few cars back from the front. I was turning off of Rathburn and was too far away to honk or anything.

Hey, I'm the guy with the yellow RX-8, that drives from Cambridge to Waterloo everyday.
I bought my car at Guelph City Mazda and picked it up on April 17. I got a bunch of free stuff for the car including free spoiler, free tinted windows, and free air outlet garnishes (silver thingies on the side)
You are correct, I am asian and I wear glasses. You got good eyes.

I must say, I was very disappointed!!
Driving to Work on HWY 403 just before Hurontario travelling East and I saw a silver 8. I tried to get his attention, but he ignorred me.
Oh well!!

Saw another one yesterday (Saturday) in Kitchener at 5pm. Velocity Red. Followed him from Victoria Street onto the expressway and then down to the #8 interchange. The thing was, he was 3 cars ahead of me going down the on ramp, I was blocked from advancing by a pickup, and by the time I got through that he was out of sight. A 150 km/h jog and I did catch up, but the 8 was already entering the interchange... Next time!

I had the pleasure of seeing Krazy8's black 8 out and about last night.
Too bad it was dirty..
Unfortunately I wasn't in my 7. I would have showed him up when we came up to the Yonge exit off of Hwy7. He had that 8 going pretty quick after the light turned green. Luckily he slowed down. That's a pretty dangerous place to get the car up to speed. Cops hide around that corner all the time. Nobody can see the pigs just before the downhill....
I lost him after we entered Dudebridge. I was hoping he would stop at the Tim/Wendy's hangout.... but alas....
I wonder where all the people have gone nowadays... All the popular spots are deserted....
Later,
P.S. Next time I'll be in the 7.... Put Krazy8 in his place...

Two Fridays -- Two 8s.
June 4th, heading into Toronto on the 401 from Kitchener. I was coming up on the 407 interchange when I realized that there was something familiar about the car I was passing. A Winning Blue 8. I didn't catch the plate, but when I got ahead of him I hit the hazards for a few seconds before jumping onto the 407 eastbound...
Last night. After finishing installing new fuel lines in my 7 I hit the road for home at 11pm. As I entered Breslau (small village east of Kitchener) a tit grey 8 appeared at the next crossroad ahead of me (Menno St.) I was shocked - Breslau's not the place you'd expect to find an 8, if only because most of the streets are pretty ratty.
He pulled out behind me (damn, those lamps are bright) and we went out and onto the 17 into Kitchener. There was traffic around us and I was a little nervous about things popping apart on my new lines, so I didn't try to play much. The driver and I looked at each other as we parted ways at Lackner...
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

"Escorted" a silver 8 on my way home from Ottawa Monday. On the 401, westbound, from Campbellville to Guelph. Driver either didn't realize I was in a 7 or didn't care.
You guys shouldn't be allowed to buy the 8 until you can prove that you know what the prior generations look like!
In case he's reading this - do you recognize this car? :p

Sighted a V Red on Steeles Ave., westbound, just east of Yonge Mon. July 5. He was on my left. Red light. I have seen so few I was excited and waved. He ignored and gunned it on the green. Nice warm feeling. Thanks, Buddy!
