NEW JERSEY rx-8 sightings thread

i figure since sightings are fairly common, at least for me, that i'm gonna start this thread and just keep updating on it.

anyone else with new jersey sightings feel free to post on this thread =)

Plainfield Ave, Edison, near the Library. Red rx8. I've seen this car in Edison before. Never parked so I can't slap a board invite on it.

Sounds like a plan, Bay. I don't see that many around Hillsborough though. In fact, I don't see that many at all. I put over 350 miles on the car on Wednesday alone, over 600 miles on the road this last week, and didn't see another 8 on the road.

nordic green rx8 at the corner of centennial ave and plainfield ave in piscataway nj. at least it LOOKED green, with overcast its hard to tell if its green or black but contrasted to mine it looked green.

ted (rotara8) and myself were having coffee at the dunkin donuts on the corner with our two 8's parked facing plainfield ave.

Elizabeth Avenue, Somerset

Why is it that I only spot other 8's when I'm NOT driving mine! Anyway, spotted a sunlight silver 8 on Elizabeth Avenue in Somerset NJ at 9AM this morning, heading towards Rt 514 (Amwell Rd). Is this anyone here???

On my way home from work last week, 4/27/03 I saw two 8's on the same road, about a mile apart. They were both travelling south on Shafto rd (547) at ~ 5:20pm. One was red and the other blue. Either of you fellas on here?

I got it done by Steve Whitney whos in Cherry Hill. Automotive Film Technologies is his company's name. Can't tell you the price because he made me promise not to tell anyone else. But I can tell you that he was cheaper than Glass Tint Specialists in Maple Shade, though he did say after he did my install he might charge a bit more. I would call both of them up and see what price they give you. Glass Tint Specialists though requires that you leave your car with them overnight while Steve Whitney will do it for you within a day especially if its a weekend. He did a great job on mine and I love it. Make sure you clean up any bug guts though because I didn't and he tried removing it to the best of his ability. He thought he had all of it off but when he put the kit on, it magnified some hazing cause by the bug guts. Hope that helps.

The Titanium 8 on Evesham ave. outside the Super G's last wednesday at around 7pm was probably me...although there is another one around town. A few months ago I'd never see another one on the road.

New Nordic Green

Just picked up my new Nordic Green RX-8 last night! Looking forward to seeing you guys around the Princeton/Flemington/Hillsborough area.

I'll get some pics that show off the green when I get a chance.

8is>enuff, I think that red RX-8 you saw on Shafto was me. I drive that road every day. I havnt noticed anyone else in this immediate area who has a red RX-8 so im pretty sure that was me.
