There's a WB with neons that lives in the apartments across from mine on Monterey Oaks Blvd, and I saw a SS on the access road where Brodie hits 290.

unofficially, a few of us have small ones on our cars, we never went carclub crazy with an actual "logo" you have to sport to be a member or anything like that.

Even tho I'm in DFW area, I actually bought my 8 from RB Mazda in Austin, so she has Austin roots. I was thinking about possibly joining you guy's group -- or maybe we can start a wing of TexasRXs up here. Its a cool name, and has the makings of a great logo, anyway. Just a thought.

dang, I can't wait to see one of these in person, they look frickin' huge in pictures. I'm not too sure I dig the styling, but until I actually see one I can't really say.

Saw a grey with Cali plates at the Hobbytown north, even nodded to the owner, probably should have talked to him but I was in a hurry (doh)

Saw a white 8 going north on Lake Ridge, near Joe Pool. Might have given me a wave, not sure. I'm just desensitized to other 8 owners not noticing my shiney red 8.

New 8 owner in DFW checking out the thread... I'm sure I'll be shouting out to some of you eventually.

I'm posting because there was a GT-R, supposedly the first one in Texas, at Hiley Mazda in Hurst visiting the lot on the same day I picked up my RX-8.

Woah, I've not seen that plate around here and I'm in that area often...anyone gonna claim it??

And I agree, waaaayyy too many 8's to mention, it breaks my heart...can they be discontinued please? I don't appreciate how much the value on it is dropping! Not that I'm looking to sell it but seriously...

On a side note, I was directly next to another VR pretty much the exact same as mine, GT, sunroof open...driving down Belt Line between Preston and Hillcrest. Two guys, light after light...never once even looked my direction!! Posers. Geez.
