Had me wtf'ing for awhile - I thought the IS300 was "Altezza" in Japan.
The IS is the Altezza in Japan, and the 3 is the Axela over there, not even sure of the 6 is offered....sounds like a "type r on a tailgate" ricer mod to me

Yesterday a gray protege off of coit, near 190, tried to race me as I was leaving Discount Tire. He had blacked out emblems (zoom zoom)... but I had to back down as i hit puberty many years ago... and no longer desire to street race. Hmmm... i should of just reved it, and let him hear the blow-off valve signal his impending defeat.

I don't get whats up with certain protege owners... this guy wasn't the first. They seem to have something to prove to the 8s. Like they're the uwanted child in the Mazda family.

I've seena few lately, the one that intrigued me the most was a blue on Mopac with a license plate that read "Katie"....how you doin' "Katie"?

There was also one that pulled up right next to me and then cut everyone off turning right onto Parmer from Riata, there's 2 lanes and 1 turns left and 1 is meant to go straight, homebitch just blew by everyone and then turned right, made me ashamed to be an 8 owner for a while oh well, probably has nothing to do with the car, as the stupid girl was on a phone and had no frickin' clue (like most Austin drivers)

I get the same thing... maybe it's because Mazda put them up for adoption.

Still haven't been spotted. I agree about the stealth NG. Although I saw quite a few 8's waiting for service at Hiley Mazda in Arlington a couple of weekends ago on a Saturday morning. Couldn't get anyone in the waiting room to admit to owning one although I didn't stay long enough to find out. I was in and out in about 15 minutes. God Bless their service dept.

We all know that the NG's are pretty rare (only a few people can carry off the super stealth technology). So you can imagine my surprise when I found another one driving driving down the 121/114 merge. So I pulled up next to her and she noticed another car pacing her. She glances over, then does a double take when she realized she was looking at the same car. I grined, smiled and drove on.

So Miss NG, if you're on here, you've been spotted.

Spotted Ti Grey today around 2:45pm going south on 377 in Haltom City/Watauga. They turned into a car wash before I could wave. Shari and I were leaving Gotham's open house and we were a couple cars behind you.

Spotted a Winning Blue w/a chrome gas cap this past week. I'm not sure where or when, but I figure the gas cap would be enough of an identifying factor. We were going opposite directions and I waved but they didn't see me.

Spotted a VR 8 off of 77 in Waxahachie, but it was for sale. Anybody know who's it was? Also spotted a black 8 in downtown Dallas a few blocks away from Fuse on Thursday night.
