I keep waving at Rx8s I pass on the street and the people in them just look at me like I am crazy. Today and yesterday its been a gray rx8 not the same one I don't think. Guess I still have not seen anyone from here lol.

I usually wave too, though only once have i had someone even acknowledge me. (sunset/215 exit). Then again, I don't see a ton of rx8's driving around. I did chase one down for a bit a couple months ago, but didnt find out where he was going (might be considered weird if i follwed him home, lol)

I never wave at people. For me, it's kinda embarrassing to do that. I don't know, it's just me.

Try waving at random people that are walking/jogging around as you drive by, and throw in a honk. They get pretty confused but they usually wave back.

Good Morning......I made it back from my mini vacation.

We've posted several times about the peeps driving 8s not waiving back......No one wants to be that friendly any longer. 7 drivers tend to be more friendly.

I come out of the woodwork every third Friday of the month for a combined rotary meet. The March meet location is up for grabs right now but I am leaning toward a Pizza joint. Keep your eyes on this thread for updates. I still work so I am unable to make most of the Sin City Rotary meets that are held every Thursday evening. Keep your eyes on that forum for meeting dates and places.

Plan on coming in May for the WHiV meet..........You will have a blast.
