once in a lifetime.......

i was on the 91 freeway at 710 this morninig leaving corona and i formed a pack with two other rx8's driving toward the oc as well. it was such a rare thing to see another rx-8 let alone 2 of them on the road. i have no idea who was driving either of them. one was an 04 model and the other was an 05 like mine.

ok my lunch break is over just thought id share the story with you all.

The only time I have seen anything like what you witnessed was at the Car Rally at Treasure Island - there were so many different rotars but all looked so different from the traffic (even older 6s-7s - looked advances) that you could have shot a flying saucer movie and people would have believed in a Sci Fi invasion was possible. Some day I hope a flock of rotars will show up for a Rally in Paso here!

I assume he distinguished model year by the license plate number.

The other car was talking, and when it opened it's hood to speak, he could see the clear windshield washer fluid bottle.
