So I'm zooming east on 32nd Ave NE (just past 52nd St) and I see a blue 8 in my side mirror ... so I slowed down to wave. Sure enough they waved back. A male driver on a cell phone (bad!) and female passenger. I think he had a GS cuz his headlights were regular and not xenon. Eventually turned into Pineridge. Anybody here?

Ok, so who is XHILAR8 (or something close)? Yellow with body kit, RX8Cub.com decal in side rear window? And what does the script decal say on the trunk?
Also, saw a TI with spoiler, in the McKenzie Towne traffic circle, I think maybe Monday 5pm, going out towards Deerfoot.

I work at Nexen, my 8 is parked in an ideal parking lot just west of the nexen building every day.

I was having a beer last night on the patio at Bass Brothers, near Mount Royal College, and saw:
1. a TiGrey, with no spoiler and with tinted rear windows
2. a Black, with a great wax job
Anyone?

Pulled into a wash by on Richmond road beside a guy driving a Shinka....only talked for 30 seconds before he has to leave....I don't think he's on this board. That's the first time I've seen a Shinka in person. They really do look black in person.

Saw a blue yesterday at around 1:00 PM. It was southbound on Crowchild, just passing Kensington. I was northbound, on my way to the car wash. A bearded fellow was driving it. We checked each other's cars out, but didn't have time to wave.

After getting my new (free) brake pads and rotors, I pulled onto 16th Ave to take the 8 for a test spin. Saw another Ti eastbound, with Alberta plates, open sunroof, and a female driver, but I couldn't get up close enough to wave.
Then, I ended up following another Ti down Deerfoot today, onto westbound Glenmore. Male, bearded driver. His is a GT with the rotary accents but no tinting. I pulled up alongside, rolled down my window, and we each yelled "Nice car!" at the other.
Are either of these people on this site?

PS: My boss from Vancouver tells me that he doesn't see to many RX8's on the road, can you confirm/deny this rumor.

darn ^^;; here in vancouver.. front license plate must be on.. no engine mods of any kind.. i don't even know if aluminum wings are legal because of visibility.
ya, it had 4 gauges in the center dash, and i checked for the intercooler in the front dam.
there's not a whole lot of 8's around here at all.. in the area where i work is the highest concentration, i see 1 or 2 parked in a certain spot every day, but were it not for those two, i only pass them maybe once or twice a week on the road
