Ran into two VR 8s this week in the Schaumburg area. First one was on Monday going Westbound on 90. I looked over and waved before exiting at Roselle, but the driver never glanced over.

Second one was this morning going down Woodfield Rd. Once again tried to wave and got no recognition. Might have been the same car, who knows. Probably not board members if they won't even look at a fellow 8

SoundDsnr23 do you go down Roselle Rd a lot? I live in the 21 building and always see a red 8 from my place going down Roselle.

Spotted on the Kenedy

Heading eastbound, just outside of the loop around 10:25PM. Red 8 and a lovely looking lady at the wheel. I was the noisy pontiac trying to follow you.

Yes, I do drive down Roselle a fair bit. A coworker that I carpool with lives just off of Salem, so I usually exit 90 at Roselle.

I saw a yellow eight in the Golf Mill Parking lot by Greenwood and Golf. I parked right next to it with my galaxy gray eight, but when I came back from seeing a movie it was gone.

Yea I stopped posting sightings cuz it seems all I see are people who are oblivious to other 8s (and obviously not members here)

I actually parked next to a Ti Gray at Bacci's (sp?) restaurant last week ... nuttin.

^This is why the engine replacement polls and such are not valid. The people on this board are a very small representation of the actual number RX8 owners.

Yeah I must have waved to at least three 8 owners in the past month and got nothing back but a retarded look. I even flashed my fogs at one guy who was driving in oncoming trafic at night........he was totally oblivious.

I'd post my sightings but I've been driving my Civic most days due to salt and gross roads.

Maybe we need to make a small window sticker so people can get the word out.

Already done. That's how I got a lot of the group to sign up 2 years ago.

Flyer attached.

EDITED: heh, the flyer is so old, it's pre-EVOLV-Chicago!

You need a license plate frame that says "My Other Car Is A RX8".

Spotted 2 rx8's on Roselle Rd tonight around 11pm. One black and one silver, both playing around a little and they sounded great(the sound is what made me look out my window). They were headed North on Roselle Rd and then must have turned around because I saw them heading back South a few minutes later....

HaHa, Thanks for the compliment on the sound of my car. That was me and my friend "rx8solo" We were heading to that new hookah bar Xhale. PM Me maybe we can hang out sometime if you live so close to me. (Oh BTW my car is titanium gray)
