Saw a silver @ UCF, Orlando today
On my way home from campus in the shuttle, i barely caught a glimpse of a silver 8 around the Engineering garage. That would make the 5th 8 i've spotted in the orlando area. Any chance that the one's i've spotted visit this board?
I've seen red, grey, blue, silver...oh yeah and a black w/ a handicap tag that never moves...so i guess 5 overall not including mine.

I saw a silver yesterday on University and Dean. The guy driving it almost crashed because he was looking at my car:D and the traffic had stopped on his lane. It was kind of funny. I have only spotted two so far: The Silver and the Black. The Silver looked sweet and was the color of my preorder, but the blue really won me over.

Wait a minute...you own a Blue 8. About three weeks ago on 434 I was driving side by side a blue..I was in my protege honking and waving at the driver who just ignored me and made a left turn before 50. Now, there's a very good chance that Orlando has more than one Blue owner (heck, I've got a blue as well)..but that would be cool if that was you.
Do you remember anything about that? It was a Saturday, early afternoon on the 23rd (I only remember b/c it was the weekend before classes started for us...my memory isn't that good, nor was i that obsessed w/ this encounter!).
Anyway, I was a bit insulted that the driver paid me no attention...but then again i can understand..cuz i normally dont look over at everybody that gawks at my vehicle as i cruise around.. Plus, if i were in the 8 instead of the protege, we probably would have acknowledged each other. But til now, I've still not run into another 8 on the road...Let's have a meet! Go to universal or something...

Spotted another 8 today..Blue, driving on University around 11ish am...I was on University heading twd campus and just barely saw it, as there were cars and other objects around the median that obstructed my view. By the time i saw it, we were already past each other...just wondering if the other 8 owner spotted me too...

Another Blue in O-Town
You might have caught a glimpse of me motoring around too. I live down in Eastwood off Alafaya Tr. I've seen a silver and red driving around in the neighborhood, but not any others out on the road. Getting 19 MPG w/AC on....feeling pretty good about that considering some of the posts. How about an informal gathering at Sonic...University & Goldenrod? Fri night 8ish? Any takers? Other places/times? Kick some tires and have some ice cream....

it concerns me enough that I never
shut the engine off cold)
The Good - Everything Else!!!
See you on the roads soon I hope!
