LOL.. I am assuming sport, but the plate just had SPRT and some letters in front that I forgot. If I was able to remember it, I am sure it would make sense ..

I saw a black one today pulling out of a parking spot right in front of the nutrition/supplement store on Trautwein, with the used car dealer plate still on. Black rims, not sure if they were cheaply done or legit...he was backing out as I drove by to find a place to park by Petco.

I hate missing the oppurtunity when not in my 8. Just Chase em down till a red light tailgating the whole way, causing the driver to panic then yell nice rex. Thats what ussually happens to me. Makes me lol

Saw the same Brilliant Black at the 24hr fitness in Buena Park @ the mall around 6pm.

Looks like it could be FE3P's old car because it had the same vertex spoiler as mine @_@'

When in your Avalon...WEIRD.

When in an 8. or another Mazda, or a cool sports car and you're showing approval...kewl

This reminds me of one of my favorite RX8 club posts of all time.

....drum roll....


In the Brilliant Black pic thread, a guy posted that he googled "Brilliant Black" and got a pic of Obama

i guess it comes down to how would YOU feel if a random make car gives you a thumbs up while driving your 8?

I see 8's everywhere around my area now. I use to be the only 8 around back in 06.
Not anymore.
There's quite a few at my college campus now.

I often see the grey one there. The black 8 caught me by surprise. First time seeing that one there.





So we're three now

Hey, this is at Elac. That might be my silver 8. I can't tell because you took off the license plate (but I'm the only silver one there that I know of)
If you had a butt shot I would be able to tell. I have a semi broken tail light :insert embarrassed face:

i know how you feel i used to be in the same boat, went from 3 rx8s in the whole city to at least 10. im aways happy to see another 8 but when its a 60 yr old dude or an old lady i just smh and think of all the carbon buildup happening. or a dominos delivery car...that was a confusing one

Sadly I keep seeing people spotting 8's in Riverside but the other side lol where I used to live. I have spotted a I think TG parked in a driveway on Van Buren a little before Magnolia a few times. I've also seen Zin's car parked at work a few times as I cruised by.

Hey there you young whippersnapper,
Don't be too quick to judge us old fogeys and assume we just putter around in our 8s goin to AARP meetings and such.

Lots of us were driving muscle cars in the 70's and have traded raw power for refined handling, driveability, and cabin creature comforts.

We still know how to drive it like we stole it, and if you ever see a lightning yellow GT zoom by you with a rather large man with a dignified salt & pepper beard,
you'll know there ain't no carbon in that bad boy.
