OK - I'm actually starting to loathe this thread.


I'm spotting RX-8s at a record rate (which is still only 1 or 2 a week, but hey, for me that's a ton), and NO ONE THAT I SPOT POSTS HERE... EVER... EVEN WHEN I SPOT THEM OUT OF TOWN!!



I've got 76,000 miles on my baby, and I've not been spotted **ONCE**

Could just ONE person in The Woodlands not be a 30-45 year old woman on her phone who knows nothing about her RX8 other than "it's 'cute'"?????

[/rant]
felt good to get that out

Spotted a Nordic Green around noon this afternoon, headed northbound on Murphy Road in Richardson. Black wheels with polished lip and Greddy duals, from the sound/look. Nice looking car.

That's the first "other" Nordic Green I've seen around here.

When they are clean my wheels are actually painted NG, not black... but I can see where it would be hard to tell.

I work at Glenville and Greenville, right by Campbell Rd.

canary, i may have seen you a while back headed southbound on 360. it's the only yellow 8 with black rims that i've seen.

i might be the "black/shinka" you saw going onto old spicewood, i love that road. mine's black, and i have the trunk de-badged except the "rx-8" is smack dab in the middle of the trunk lid and the holes from "mazda" are not filled, that's how you can tell it's me

yeah that road is a blast, even scary at times, especially when heading towards 360 on it there is one section which goes over a low water crossing and there is nothing on the right except rocks/water, so if you misjudge the turn you're going out dukes of hazzard style I saw a silver pulling out of an apt. complex today on riata trace, I work in the offices over there. I waved/flashed lights, couldn't quite tell if the driver waved back lol I take 360 home almost every day, seems to be the better bet going south in the evenings, while mopac going north in the mornings seems to work okay. I didn't see your trunk, also the only other yellow I know of in town that has anything done has stripes/rims and no kit, haven't seen any other yellows with as much done as mine (yet, much less with black work's and huge lip). I also saw a grey at the light on parmer/riata vista doing a u-turn, had a mazdaspeed bumper/carbon hood, no other work done.

coming on to 1431 from my development, noticed an SS sitting at the light, he came up behind me and we were able to play for a little on 35 before he took his exit in Georgetown. Not sure if he is on here, since he did not wave, just had a mutual respect for the cars
