Thats me
spotted a silver Rx8 with OEM appearance kit and exhaust last night on crowchild!! If you are on this board nice car and just wondering what exhaust was that because it sounded beautifulllllll i'm going to guess racing beat.
i tried to catch up to you but you were blasting down crowchild at 120k/h+ and i couldn't bring myself going over 100 after that $380 speeding i got the other day ><

I saw a VR, and a CR around UoC in the last week, don't remember around which buildings though.
Holy crap, lot 32 is hellah far for me...I guess you are in Business?
I've been parking in lot 11 for the past 2 years...but next month I will have to ditch my 8
since my lease is up...Will be driving my family's junkmobile, '05 Mazda 3, or new '07 TSX(picked it up yesterday)...
Hope to get another rotary in the future though...
I will try to sell my red LED footwell lights (I bought them last month) that I got from the buy/sell forum from Rotary Rasp, so if anyone is interested msg me. Also, going to sell my clear corners (straight from japan, used it for two years), so msg me if anyone is interested in those. Will be posting them in buy/sell soon, but thought I'd give fellow Calgarians a heads up

i am with a blue rx8 but usually i just go to university. since the weather is getting worse, and 8 is my only ride, i would probably take bus if any day would be snowing or getting really cold cuz i love my 8 like loving myself. actually, love my 8 more than myself. i have seen one blue rx8 in univeristy too and i parked right beside it once but that car looks like completely stock(just look like). never get chance to say "HI" cuz neven seen the rider..... hope the rider is one of you guys, if any of you still go to school..

i am in second year of geomatics engineering. well, i have gotten my car since last Dec. but there was too much snow last winter, so i just took bus everyday in the winter. I used to park in lot 32 when i first came to u of c cuz i didnt know there was a lot 11 where u could pay every single time. but i had a 04 tiburon GT at that time. Hope to see u around university, i would like to meet people with 8. By the way, early 30, why dont u just creat a new thread called"last calgary meet in 2007" or whatever?

Saw a super nice red FD (rhd) today around 3:20pm coming out of crowfoot, I think he waved? I wasn't really paying attention, since I didn't want to run over a pedestrian.

Heading down Nosehill, and turned onto Crowchild beside a TG, with winter rims/tires on already. Way to prepare! I have seen your car around quite a bit.
And of course saw philsbluerx8 today in a UoC parkade.
