okay.
i'm glad my 8's mods are very different
i saw literally 10-11 rx8s today
i went to brea-rowlandheights-walnut-chino
pisses me off, most of them are those asian fobs (i'm an asian fob too) that think since they have an 8 they have super big egos and they drive super fast and unsafe
most of all, they dog on others who have nicer 8s (with aftermarket parts)
recalling that one time me, kelvin (boa), and ray (saki) were hanging out at puente hills, this black rx8 drove into the parking lot with really gay 18'' black wheels with polished lip and a greddy exhaust, no drop and his windows down ******* us like WTF.
and then the infamous black 8 that has a reputation to give us the finger.
sigh....

I saw some blonde girl driving a Titanium Gray RX-8 with HIDs down 880 towards Milpitas around 10:45-11pm tonight. I was the jackass in the silver one

We even exchanged waves and the thumbs up.

heyyy!!! there's one of those in my community!! he's an *******. i wave, i smile. he just glares and looks at me like i'm a freak.

and rotary rasp was telling me that the other day on the 405, he saw 2 8's, a black and silver i think, and honked at them and the black dude flicked him off... obviously didn't get the point


but it could also be because he has a train horn...we'll never know

congrats on the e92 335i. my boss picked one up about a month ago, and that car accelerates like mad. (i think it was rated #2 in the fastest sedans/ coupes of the $35k to $40k range, though it's a bit unfair, because the car actually costs more than $45k in reality.) definitely a nice car...

to get the most $ for your 8, however, you'll have to sell private party. no other way around it. the resale value on our cars is just too low to get a fair shake on a trade in.

and, just a reality check. but, if you think you see too many rx-8's on the road, for sure you'll see a million more e92's on the road compared to 8's. they may not all be 335i's. but, honestly, the exterior body difference between the 328i & 335i is completely negligible to the untrained eye. (most ppl don't know to look for the separated tail pipes.) so, even though you'll have a much faster car, you definitely won't be as rare or unique on the road- ratio-wise.

bmw 3's are a dime-a-dozen. and, u can thank bmw and their aggressive & inexpensive lease plans for that. in my opinion, bmw has thoroughly diluted their brand name by making it too easy to lease a car. they're now as common as honda accords- allowing ppl who really can't afford them to put around like they can. no- i'm not a disgruntled bmw "owner" at all... <lol> at least it's 150% mine.

First rx8 to respond back. Yellow 8 turning left on Playa Vista as I was waiting to turn left, I gave some rock-on.

Also had some douchey kids flick me off in their Ti 8 (driver looked like the main character from kingdom hearts) nice...

I cant wait for the meet so I can interact with people who actually like driving their 8's and dont have a 2x4 up their ***.

Funny, my friend said I was gay for waving. I've seen your car at the CC couple of times.
