I was on my way to work about a week and a half ago at around 11:00pm at night. I was at on IH10 going into San Antonio right at the Six Flags entrance ramp, doing about 85mph or so and was late for work.
Right as I got to the entrance ramp I saw a Black RX8 with the standard spoiler fly up onto the entrance ramp doing around 100, cut all the way over to the far left lane where I was and took off. I stayed in 6th gear and just speed up a bit to get a better look at the car, but by then he had already speed off to around 110. I saw him cut across all lanes again to the right and almost got taken out by an SUV that he came up behind really fast while it was changing lanes. He then cut back again all the way to the far left lane (This part of the highway is now 5 lanes wide) and then slowed down to normal speeds. I exited the De Zavala exit right there so I never got a good look to see who was inside.
Anyways, was that anyone here? They really knew how to push their car on public roads.

Just saw a grey 8 leaving my parking garage as I pulled it. I know for the fact the driver saw me and did a double-take, but due to the rain, window tinting, & low light, I couldn't make out what the driver looked like. Late-teen male is as accurate as I can get.

So I was coming home tonight and just before I got on the freeway I hit a red light. In front of me was a silver miata that kept looking back in his mirror. My g/f said, "he wants a taste"
I responded with"he shall have one"
light turns green and he is shifting way too early, granted I'm not trying to race at this point or anything, just normal driving(shift at ~5k).
We turn the corner onto the access road, which is a ~110 degree turn. I fully expect him to punch it through the turn so I had a little extra speed coming out of the turn which got me withing 2 car lengths of him. I entered the freeway and he stayed on the access road...doing 70mph. We are basically going the same speed and he decides to jump on the freeway behind me and gives a quick flash of his lights to let me know he's there...
I change into the right lane to let him pass and he certainly does. He floored it past me and then slowed down 15 lengths or so in front of me and flipped on his flashers. I was only doing about 65 at this point and had a good line of sight ahead and didn't see another car for a while. I dropped to neutral revved up to about 5.5k put it in 3rd and took off past him. (his taste)
I went up to about 100 and then shut down back to 70-75. He was pretty far back. After he caught up he cut around a semi and right in front of me...I'm talking RIGHT in front of me. We, the g/f and I, proceeded to drive the next 15 miles home in dissmay of how dangerously and retardedly this fool was driving. continually speeding up and slowing down, flashing his signals, jerking back and forth and overall acting like a 16 year old with their first car. I decided not to egg him on or instigate in any way, I don't want to be responsible for this idiot smashing into the back of someone b.c he's trying to change lanes and watch his rear view mirror at the same time.
Anyway he acted stupid the whole way to my exit. As I exited I noticed a shiny white car in front of me and realized that it was a cop car... if only he had left his previous destination 30 seconds earlier he may have been able to bring this fool down a notch and teach hime not to be such an idiot on the road.
Anyway, just thought I'd share that.

There's a grey RX-8 parked right across from me in the parking garage at the Woodforest National bank building by the Woodlands Mall.
Any takers?

Well this morning on my way to work I had a lime green 8 pull up beside me. It had a mazdaspeed body kit and mazdaspeed spoiler. The guy had a mazdaspeed decal on the rear and front bumber and a huge mazda logo on the rear window. Never seen the guy on the forums but it he is then you need to come hangout at flips sometime!
