I will be sure to leave a note on their car if I ever see it again.

Happy hunting.
I'm going to need to know if there is a layaway plan offered on these.

I also fully expect free delivery service. They MUST know I'm only getting them due to my undying love for the rotary-which can only lead them to the conclusion that I have an 8 and no chance of hauling anything larger than a vacuum home myself.

I'm sure they've gone through that thought process. It's a fair assumption, right?

I had dinner a while back at Red Robin served on a rotary plate, it was awesome My ceiling fan has rotary shapes too, as did my practice wedding cake a few years back



I spotted a VR today on Riata Trace turning into the apartments etc., saw a white first gen (Rx7) yesterday on slopac (mopac) and followed them a bit, was in pretty good shape and a pretty sweet car. I saw a black one on the way home the other night with a woman driving, I tried to get her attention but she was sporting the tunnel vision/snob action so nothing came of that

edit: look, it's a 3 rotor!

I didn't see any 8's, but I did see an awesome license plate.



Not sure how clear it is, but it's a Corvette with a plate that says "GTR LOL"

Good stuff!

It doesn't have the ZR1 badge in the bottom left unless they de-badged it already. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for this guy.

You would know if it was a ZR1 with all the vents and clear opening on the hood. Still, this is Texas and he almost certainly is rocking a good bit of HP. There is a guy in my little tiny town with an basically stock looking vette that is ~1000whp I think. Procharger set up.

ZR1's pretty distinctive, especially the hood window and such. Who knows, a properly modded C6 would probably put up a helluva fight against a stock GT-R, Vette's aren't the same straight line only car they were in year's past.

I'll drive back by tonight and look. (I need to go to best buy again anyways.) I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Z06...and definitely not a ZR1

I dont think its a Z06. The back fenders are not flared out enough.

I spotted a few this past weekend. First coming home on Friday was going North on Preston and and Parker was a silver 8 turning, looked like there might have been a rx8club sticker on the window but not sure. Spotted a yellow on McDermott on Saturday, then there was a blue one behind Mimi's cafe at 75 and McDermott.

Just got my 8 4 days ago, first post (already in love with this forum )!

I go to Rice, and I already saw another 8 in my school's parking lot (velocity red, same as mine). Anyone?

I parked next to a VR at the DFW airport today. Terminal A about gate A15. If you leave before Friday afternoon/evening, I'm the copper red shinka next to you.

Silver was docmombo most likely (if it had the Mazdaspeed body kit). Curious who the yellow and blue are though...

I see a VR that is pretty identical to mine (loaded GT) near my house all the time-Plano Rd and Campbell area, always pulling off into a neighborhood/side street-who ARE you?!

I saw a white 8 leaving the circuit city parking lot in Denton yesterday. You were behind me and then as I u-turned you revved, sounded nice.
