Hi guys! haven't been checking in for a while, how's everyone's 8? :D
Saw an silver one the other day in Silver Springs, turns right, west-bound, at the corner after the Police Station... had a stock spoiler, moon roof... anyone from here?
I was too far to wave

Yup yup, I'm new, and too poor to own an 8. Starving uni student for now heh
If the rx8 could transform, I'd consider stealing one
Saw another one today...
Silver one, heading east on Glenmore, at around 11 am

So I was turning into Sunridge Mall off of 36St and there was a white 8 turning onto 36th. I waved but I don't think he saw. Asian driver and had orange corners and bone stock. Anyone?

Saw a red 8 eastbound on Third Ave SW at about 6:45 AM today. I waved, but couldn't tell if the driver saw that.

Saw an Indigo in the Garrison Woods Safeway parking lot. Talked to the owner, who said only 16 were made for Canada. His looked pretty nice. Tan interior, MT, small spoiler on the back mounted flush to the trunk.
He's aware of this web site, but I didn't get a chance to find out his name.

^^^ Indigo?? You mean the Strato Blue? Not the Shinka is it? I wasn't aware that they were allowed or even made for Canada. Sure it wasn't imported from the UK or Asia?

Just then the owner came out, and I talked to him about it. I asked him if it was a Shinka, and he said no. It had a tan leather interior, which looked really sharp. He said it wasn't imported; it was one of 16 that was made for Canada. He was originally going to buy a black one, but saw this one and really liked it.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that it was a Shinka, even if the owner denies it. To see what the car looked like, check out https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/calling-all-black-cherry-shinkas-56131/, but add a small spoiler to the trunk.
Nice looking car, though.

^^^ Ha ha! That's what I thought! Maybe he didn't even know what a Shinka was. I think the spoiler you saw must have been the Euro lip spoiler, no?

Hey Fritz,
I saw that car parked at the Old Gold's gym in Richmond by the Canadian Tire. At first I thought it was black. Color is not really my taste, or the Tan interior, however its still a very nice ride. It had a different spoiler, but like you I prefer the factory.

Now that I think of it, I had a couple of e-mails from a guy who bought one of the Canadian Shinkas in Calgary, I'll check later and see what he called it.
