Let' see… since they first came out I've seen a total of… 5. No wait—6! (Forgot to count mine.)
OK, maybe that's a slight under-exaggeration. But honestly, I can't believe how few I see! When you think of the hundreds of thousands of cars you see in this city—whether driving down Broadway, on the Grand Central, the L.I.E., the West Side Highway—I'm AMAZED at how I never see them! I see them literally about as often as I see Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Maseratis! Very weird.

"New" Jersey City??? I grew up there. Didn't know out of towners called it "New". I assume you are referring to the waterfront which has been completely overhauled to "new" status???

I live on the Garbage Dump...Staten Island. We should definitely have a meet in NYC...i know some great parks in Staten Island, where we can do it...setup the BBQs and such! Pick a date and I am in. I know a bunch of Mazda6s that would also meet up.

I think it would be pretty cool to stumble upon a member on the highways.
Stop me if I'm sounding dumb here but would anyone be interested in submitting their email address so that we can keep in touch for meets and stuff? I've only been in NY/NJ for around 2 years so I don't even know the roads very well but I'm willing to help organize a meet on Staten Island.

i am still very surprise with the substantial turnouts for this post.. i hardly see rx8 in the city compared to so many cars r there! soo... why dont we start listing our forum name follow by real name + email + number so ... it is easier for a person to organize an event in nyc area.

Hello fellow New Yorkers! I'm a noob to rotaries, but not a noob to Mazda. Picked mine up few weeks ago from Wantagh Mazda. Base with sport package to keep things light and stiff. Still bone stock and not broken in. I'm in Bay Terrace in Queens. Cheers to this forum!

I really don't want to step on anyone's toes but would anyone mind if I took the liberty to post a new thread announcing a meet for NYC (and very close to NYC) members? I won't mind taking point on this meet - maybe we can discuss who will organize in the future at this meet? Since it is an NYC thing I think Jone's Beach parking lot #4 would be good for Saturday June 3rd. Lots of parking, everyone should know the location and long smooth roads and ocean views for some great pictures. I know this date can't be good for everyone but for the sake of our first meeting this year how about we stick to it? I for one would just like to meet with at least 2 other RX8club members to see who's in my 'hood. I'll also be bringing my fiance so I hope this to be a meeting for not just the cars but for the people that drive them.
So for the record:
Tentative NYC Meet on June 3rd 2006, Jones Beach parking lot #4 @ 2:00pm.
Bring a lunch, bring a drink, bring your car, bring your wife/gf/kids/dogs/friends - I hope for a great turnout for the tuners, racers, and even the automatic drivers among us! LOL
