No its not me.. but I know this car, I've seen it there too, every time I'm there actually.. but always forget to mention it . Must be someone that works there.

Theres another one of us around too, another female driver, no spoiler or tint.. and her dealer plate still on lives close to me, confused my neighbors several times

Spotted a blue RX-8 w/tinted windows all the way around on yesterday (Sunday) going southbound on Deerfoot Trail. I was in the white 8 and waved to you.... don't know if the driver saw because I couldn't see much except that there are two people in the car.

Dents?

Unfortunately, I'm not a waver Too concentrated on the road... by the time I notice someone giving me a sign, I've passed them! Oh yeah... if anyone has a dent that needs fixing, I highly recommend going to this guy named Tom at TomCo PDR. He does awesome work for a good deal! Found him on Beyond. He's one dude. Don't bother with this those PDR companies that charge an arm and a leg. Sorry for the ad, but I like to give credit where its due.

yeh I've heard nothing but good thing about him and the price he quoted me was very very reasonable.. I'm just waiting until end of winter to get mine fixed. .. I' have a feeling I will be accumulating more ths winter. I have 3 so far and just my luck they are all on different panel... my driver door now is the only door left w/o a ding.. those son ofB

I had the small rock dent that Early30s gave me the last time we went out to Cochrane. I also had 1 small hail dent and another super small door ding. The only thing is, he's not around Calgary all the time since his main source of income is from fixing hail damaged cars from dealers across Canada. He fixed all the dents in less than 10 min!!

So am I bad person now?
Maybe you were too close to me Slowlude...

I have no dents anymore. I had one soft door ding that I had removed, and approx 20 hail dents.. all gone now. But you've all seen my bumper.. oh well next summer will be fixed..

Anyway, I saw a silver today on the south side by 6th off 22X.. his was just as dirty as mine was.. ha ha. I think he saw me but neither of us waved. We should have been enroute to a car wash..

Ok I gota ask now. I've been reading alot of posts and in the "sightings posts" I notice alot of waving going on. I've had my 8 Since Sept and have seen a few around Calgary to say the least. I haven't been waving at anyone, is this a new thing or am I just the only one not waving. Leave it to me to ask, I'm either going to look like a complete idiot waving at strangers or look like a stuck up ***** by not waving. Jeez I thought the colour choice when i bought the car was hard. Now to wave or not to wave.. hmmmmmm

I don't initiate waves, since most people I see have stonefaces ...I don't want them thinking I'm some dumbass looking for a race.

Most 8 owners I see don't even glance over or look like they care, when I'm side-by-side with them.

Hey guys! I saw a copper red 8 (early30s, perhaps) that had an RX-8 logo mod on the brake light. I saw this car at Rockyview Hospital when our baby was born last week! Funny that I still notice things like this when I'm in a frantic state of mind!

^^^ Slowlude .. congrats on the baby! Boy or girl? I thought I was the only one with the brake mod in Calgary ... though I did send Early30's the template for the mod.

I saw a Stormy blue for the first time yesterday near the Deerfoot Mall area. Pretty slick!
