We're around. Unfortunately, we don't meet up as often as the 7s. But, they are good about letting us roll with them. There's at 4 of us in Redmond.

i'm in redmond/bellevue, and i'm starting to see alot more rx8's around now since the weather has been getting warmer... which is not good at all... the less the better IMO... but it is inevitable more rx8 will show up since its pretty inexpensive car which looks a million bucks...

Hello RX8GUY73
I am interested in a Seattle area meet. Could you propose time and place on this forum when they are decided? Thanks!

I think that RX-8s repel each other.

I've had my 8 since late January and I've seen a grand total of *one* other 8 on the road while I'm driving mine. (It was a beautiful winning blue on I-405 just south of Bellevue last week being driven by a young Asian woman.) During that same time, I've seen maybe 6-7 RX-8s while driving my wife's van.

The only conclusion I can draw is that some force is keeping the RX-8s apart. Maybe something about too much beauty concentrated in a small area???

A Seattle Rx-8 meet would be cool. If only the weekends weren't already so booked up.

After several months of not seeing another RX-8 on the road, today I saw two red ones within ten minutes of each other. Both were on I-90. I honked at one with two women on board.

The second RX-8 was going the opposite direction, so no honk for that one.

I was amazed at how much the car stands out from the crowd. What an awesome looking car!!

Hey just to let you guys know before i came back to NC due to leave being over i saw three other RX-8s before i left. One blue, red, and a titanium grey like mine. I just cant wait till i get back to washington especially to see how many RX-8s are hooked up by then. Especially since i have noticed that i don't look at RX-8s the same since i lowered it and put the exhaust on it

Just bought a silver one. Got to drive it about 10 miles before I flew to the east coast the next day! When I get back in town, I'll get to breaking her in! ;-)
