haha, okay i had a busy couple of days spotting 8's
yesterday i technically spotted jiggawha first, but due to traffic and such i didnt even know it was him, i was in fast lane on 35N, he was in exit lane and i couldnt get a clear enough view of the driver. lmfao, till he called telling me to slow my *** down :P in my defense my friend i was in the "fast" lane.....
so jigga, you've offically been spotted!!

thennnn, this morning, driving to work, a yellow stock 8 with a spoiler and dark windows like mine came up beside me, i think a chick was driving, i ended up pulling up behind her cuz a stupid semi truck was in the fast lane (ugh, pet peeve!!) and then passed her. she was older, prob not a club member, cuz club member chicas wave or revv or acknowledge in some way.

so yeah, jigga made my day, finally spotted
yay!!

Spotted a new R3 on the beltway right past 290. around 7:50 this morning I tried to slow down to get a picture but I was in the eazy tag lane. He wasn't.
I have to say those things are very sexy!

I spotted that GTRLOL vette. It ran an 11.55 at Ennis. It isn't stock. A turbo 350z with rims like canary but in gold ran a 12.2 qtr. Did ya'll know a s/c crossfire was capable of 12.2s? There were two of them there that ran 12.2-12.3 consistently. I was impressed.

I spotted myself taking the trash out, just off 288 south and FM 2004...does this count.....any how, while taking out the trash, I saw this mica blue 8 with this hot brunette inside, only slightly looking in my direction..(sweet) , of course me, crap, trash can in tow wasn't really expecting much but I waved...and she returned the favor.....You never know what to expect when taking out the trash....of course, if only I had my 8 insight and close by.....

I've seen a few around recently...

I waved to someone about a week ago and got a wave back but I cant recall the color right now.

spotted one a grey on babcock when I was driving towards UTSA, I waved but since we were going opposite directions I wasnt able to see a wave back.

Saw a blue last night leaving the palladium theater, we both got on 10 but I needed to take 1604 so I didnt try to catch up.

That's all I can think of for now... my car is black btw (in case any of the spotted people dont show to the meets...)

Spotted 2 on my lunch break, was in my girls car though so no one would have spotted me. Saw a silver with chrome wheels pull out onto Preston just north of Legacy, then saw a black one at Preston/Parker waiting at the light.

I take it you're trying to be funny or a smart *** or both?

Part of the fun and advantage of owning this car (and other rotary powered cars) is being a part of the Rx-"" community, this thread was started as a celebration of that and to "spot" other member's etc, (it was copied from another similar thread started even before this one that got to big and too old etc.) There's no reason to be a troll or post some weak attempt at being funny, if you don't like a thread why waste time posting? If your posts are legit than my apologies, some how I doubt they are though.

When I got off the shuttle at UTSA today, I was walking to my car with my girlfriend and saw a bit of ding on my door... I knew I had a small scratch, but instead there was now a ding. I was looking at it and thought I might have been mistaken when I last looked at it or something... So me and my girlfriend are standing there looking at the scratch when someone walks up (got off the shuttle) to us and my car and says "excuse me"... I'm confused because we were standing right next to my car and he was right there as well... not like we were in the way of going other directions and obviously he cant walk through my car. So I click my unlock button and pull at the handle... only to realize that this was the dude's car turns out there was an SUV parked right between us so my car was the one on the other side... didnt really think to ask if he was on the site or anything since I felt stupid at that moment lol. At least my girlfriend was convinced it was my car too lol.

So if anyone had some dude try to open their car on campus, that was probably me...

That hilarious dude!! Ive done that before. Makes you feel REALLY stupid!! Too make things worse, I was on a second date with this girl, and I was telling her how much I work on my car and how I spend most of my day in the car, and then I walk up to a car thats not mine! She thought it was funny, I felt like an ***.

lol, yeah... it was fun. I dont usually check my exhaust tips and completely didn't notice that his car had that wind guard for the sun roof... I was too focused on the ding on "my" door lol. I think the thought going through my head when I tried hitting the unlock button was something along the lines of "look at this guy... thinks this is his car... I'll show hi... oh, it is his car... huh..."

No I don't actually park on campus. I usually park along one of the apartments down Bernard St. and catch the bus to campus so I don't have to pay for a parking permit. Done it for years!!

I've got a black 8 with clear corners and right now only 3/4s of the aero package installed... haven't got a chance to do the side skirts yet so it looks a little goofy haha.. but I'm always parked on Bernard monday nights, and tuesdays and thursdays during the day so maybe you'll see me!
