Lots of RX8 sightings in Los Angeles area

Typically I only see about one RX8 a week on average, sometimes I can go a month without seeing one. These last two weeks I've seen a dozen RX8s, and each one is set up different so I know I'm not seeing the same one. Even though they are catching on it makes me feel less unique when I see so many driving around.

Unless you are driving a car that is $80,000+ it is normal to see someone with the same car as you multiple times.

I dont blend in yet. Not many in my stomping grounds, 2 others on campus, which means there are 15 E46 M3's per RX-8.

I've seen several over the past few days here in Costa Mesa, which is kind of abnormal. I hadn't seen another 8 in a month or so before this.

Even then, I see alot of people rolling around Vegas in 80,000 Cayennes on a weekly basis. Who cares, Mazda does make more than one RX-8 you know....and if they didn't, you probably couldn't afford one.
