I would rather see too many, rather than not enough. Sales is what keeps Mazda making these puppies. If you want another one (next gen?) one day, then be pleased to see them on the road.

Buy a Spyker. I haven't seen any of those on the road.

There you have it. If you're seeing too many 8s on your local roads everybody can just move to Connecticut.

Wait...

wankleman

haha, the only good thing to come out of connecticut is sportscenter and Joe loserman losing in the primary

I'm puzzled on how the transfer of ownership is going to make it "worse and worse"? There are still going to be the same number of 8s on the road.

I am personally happy that many people are buying this car. Speaks to an increasing after market market.

PM me for the wire transfer info... I can make them disappear if your pockets are big enough. The only other required items are a flashlight and toothpick.

I rarely see another '8, and never an '05 Shinka. So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

I like seeing other 8s while driving. I make it a point to wave, or at least smile when close to them.

I usually don't get acknowledged, though

This thread is funny, because Mazda wishes they'd disappear too.

i was going to say i would wave but i cant even add you on myspace so i wouldnt wave either.

Mandy

I rarely see the 8 around here. Last weekend I drove up to Canada via the NY throughway-700 miles of driving and I only saw one!

You might see me.....where in CT do you live? I'm in Cheshire.

My RX8 is same color, stock 18" rims. At least if I ever see your car, It's distinctive. But you're right, not that many RX8's in Connecticut. Even less with the GT package (where the extra trim on the car makes it look a ton more agressive).

Hey! Us Connecticuters have done a lot through history. The first medical degree and PhD in the U.S. were given here (Yale), first Submarine (and later the first nuclear submarine), Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin here, insurance companies (we are sorry and deeply regret that one), the first Hamburger was served at Louie’s Lunch in New Haven, Igor Sikorsky invented the first functional helicopter here, Robert Jarvik inventor of the artificial heart (which has kept people alive for days), Some Yale students figured out you could throw pie plates around at each other (Mrs. Frisbie’s pie plates), Elias Howe invented the sewing machine, Colt invented the revolver here and a CT native Charles Goodyear invented vulcanized rubber (Goodyear Eagle F1’s are awesome btw).

We also invented trees, air and women.

OK, nm, we’re small, rich and within walking distance of NYC and Boston.

When my baby sees another rx-8, the wipers stand up...

i live in LA also and have noticed a lot more 8's on the road as well... overall, we are still way in the minority compared to other cars on the road. so, no need to be bitter or sad about it.

in fact, if you look at it with a sense of humor, it's quite funny actually. if it makes u feel better, for every single 8 that i see each week, i probably see:

* several dozen Honda S2000's: Looking like a miniature "8 wanna-be's," but really ugly, mutated, insect fly mobiles.
* several dozen Mazda Miatas: Cute, cuddly, "girly cars" that wish they were an 8's, but sorry- not a chance.
* several dozen Subaru WRX's: Each one uglier than the next, regardless how big and ugly that stupid exhaust looks.
* several dozen Mitsubishi Eclipses: Good god, get that ugly *** image of a car out of my mind!
* several gazillion Toyota Celica's: NEXT!
* several dozen Nissan 350z's: If there isn't such a thing as a 350z ***** yet in the dictionary, there ought to be.
* several Infiniti G35's: The more "civilized" siblings of the 350z ******- except they just don't realize it. ******.
* several dozen Chevy Vettes: When the back looked good the front looked like ****. Now vice versa.
* several dozen BMW M3's: Yah, and an equal number of ****** driving them. What a waste of such a great car...
* several dozen BMW Z4's: Sleek, elegant, but has a big *** hood like a boat. Maybe it floats too...
* several dozen Lexus IS's: "WOO HOO look at me, i'm in a L-E-X-U-S." Good and hope u get car-jacked, *******.
* a gazillion dozen BMW 3's: The most superficial "I've made it car" of our time in LA. Ok, i'm guilty as charged too...
* several dozen Audi A4's: The "I REALLY wanted a BMW, but this was slightly cheaper and only slightly uglier... Plus I'm in BMW denial, but just don't realize it yet."

LOL

I wonder how all those drivers classify us RX-8'ers?

LostAngel

the new college class here has brought about 3 new ones.

BunnyGirl

Yay! Thanks to that man I have a hobby!

They call us slow

I live in SE Michigan and I rarely ever see one. However on the day I bought mine I drove by two on the way home...
