Saw another gray RX8 turning onto Winrock and San Felipe in Houston. I'm new as well, I've only driven my car for about two months and I love it. For some reason, I see more of them since I've stared driving it. I guess I notice it more since I drive one now.

I work in Grand Prairie and just picked up my RX-8 last week. You might see me around Arlington.

I've got a Grey base model.

People aren't as receptive to the wave as they used to be. When I first got the Miata all the Miata drivers waved at each other. I think everybody is too busy on their phones now.

Saw a Ti GRAY drive up behind me on Friday afternoon in McKinney on the 75 service road going north (near virginia parkway & the McKinney post office). I was turning into the post office and they went around me.

Also saw a Ti GRAY @ Fry's Electronics in Plano this past Wednesday or Thursday around 8pm... they were just leaving the store and turning onto Plano Pkwy.

Lastly, saw a nice Whitewater Pearl parked at Colin Creek mall in the Dillard's North entrance... had an SMU sticker on the rear window. I parked one row across facing it. =)

Oh Wait! One more... I saw a Black 8 parked @ McKinney High School a couple weeks ago... it was in the student parking lot in the late afternoon...

You folks need to wave back when ppl wave at you! =P

Today was weird. I saw a white dude about my age driving a VR on 410 going to work. I honked and he looked at me like I was crazy. Then on the way home I see a TG at Judson and then a SS coming the other way on 35 south. Then in Schertz I see this middle aged lady driving this in the fast lane at 70.

Funny, the night one looks like Stormy and the highway looks like Phantom.


Gotta, say, I've been a little disappointed these last two days... been driving back and forth from mockingbird ln to corinth and haven't seen a single 8.

Yup, that's a new color for 07 I believe. It's SOOOO pretty. Gosh, that car up there looks just like mine, same color, trim package, everything. Only I've never been to New Branfels. I'm often prowling around west central arlington. My car's been in the shop for 3 weeks so I'm glad to finally be back on the streets with it.

The highway is definitely the Phantom. I've seen a couple around here already.

I just want to see a Stormy Blue in day light...
