OK...in the last few days ive seen 4 different 8's on the road. everyone feel free to post your stories and sightings here....maybe we'll actually have been members we dont even know!
i drive a black 8 with clear sidemarkers:
last friday over off the corner of Kennedy and Dale Mabry behind the Village Inn - Black RX8 - we drove right by eachother
Monday - black 8 nice looking blonde. i was looking over and i think she thought i was checking her out till i mouthed "nice car" and she smiled and pointed at mine too. haha
Monday - blue 8 on hillsborough ave around 630pm we were side by side in traffic for a while.
TOday - Red 8 on hillsborough ave...couple in their 40's checking out my 8 and waved when i looked over.

I've seen alot of rx-8 on the roads here in tampa but none of them pay attention to a 1st gen when i give a honk and a wave. I guess its all up to the owner.

the first gen is still my favorite. I have been looking for the right one for a few years now. the 1983 GSL Limited Edition in Gold.
one night i was headed home in 19North. Right around country side I ran into a pair of red 2nd gens. It was pretty cool. we were all at the light together.
My wife said she was taking my son to school the other day (he's three) and they spotted a red 8 like mine on 19. My son went nuts thinking someone took my "fast red car" as he calls it. Started crying and everything. He was pretty upset.

Spotted a mirror image of my titanium gray on 86th ave in Seminole on Sat. evening. The clerk at the bp on Park & 113th said that his brother has the exact same car. I think this was probably him.

I live in North Tampa, but you may see me around 275. Silver RX-8.
by the end of the week it'll have the MS Spoiler and clear sidemarkers
Just bought it today. Up to 90 miles (had 7 when I started)

I have one too, in clearwater.
I've had mine since Sept tho.. wonder if I was the first in the area..
I think some girl with a titanium and custom rims has had hers about as long though. Most of the newer onces have the appearance package and hers didnt.

WOW! Three Titaniums in Seminole. I probably should have gotten the blue one, but the gray is too cool.

Mine is pretty much the automatic base model. Wifey wouldn't let me splurge. I was shocked I got the green light at all.
I figured I'd have to settle w/ the 3 or 6.
She is a good woman. I knew I married her for a reason.

Saw a black one parked at Steak and Shake on 19. today. The one near Bell Air south of Gulf to Bay. I eat lunch there just about every day as part of my diet regimen (40 pounds lost since Jan 2) so you can always spot my red one there. First time I have seen a black one around.
