I know these cars are kind of rare and exclusive, but it sucked to not be able to say, "Hey, that's my car..." to my family out there.

So, I must ask, Where were you all last week????
Slide by Paramount Pictures and see me and my red rx! I've taken her up to the Hwd sign (well, as close as I can get) and just love those twisty narrow roads up there. :p :p :p

I live in Rancho Cucamonga (just north of Ontario) and drive my 8 to work in South El Monte. I usually see 1 or 2 RX-8 daily on the freeways (no matter I use CA-210, I-10 or CA-60). Next time you are in Inland Empire you'll definitely see more RX-8 on the road. (No white RX-8 seen so far though)
P.S. Come and shop at the new Victoria Gardens.

I live in El Monte and have not seen a single RX8 in that city. I also live at UCLA and have only seen 1 red RX-8 that a girl drives. I am not sure if shes a student but next time I'll try to flag her down.

I'm in the lomita/torrance area and I always see one or 2 RX8 driving by from time to time but still a rare occasion, I like that :D .
I still get "Nice car, man. What kinda of car is that?" type of comment.

I live in the Valley and I see one everyday as I drive to work. I was the first one in the area I live in. I am seeing more 8's running around lately. I have seen every color on the road. One guy I work with also has a Titanium Grey 8. My black beauty still pulls in all the attention though. I wanted a Blue one but they couldn't find one in Cali at the time and there wasn't one on a boat either at the time. So I went with Black.

I see a bunch of them going on the 605-5-101 freeways... as I head to work, I've seen Titan Greys, Silvers, and Blacks so far. Tons of them out there now... and a lot of the drivers don't really know about RX8/Rotaries, etc... and will give you a confused look if you acknowledge them.

This lady who was wearing a floppy hat, age around 60 maybe.. driving Silver, and as I passed her.. she gave me that "Mento's" look of... "What are you looking at?"

Then today a Grey on the 605 North, dark tint, License plate 5Kxxxx... something something, drove past without acknowledging.

I'm beginning to stop waving because most drivers now just bought the car and have no clue about the club and stuff...

Yesterday, I ran to a blue one at UCLA, he threw up a peace sign and I flashed my highbeams from behind. I then pulled up next to him and he rolled down and windows and yelled "damn bro!" He was probably impress by my mods since his car was bone stock.

Hey, just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I've been lurking on the boards for a few months and finally went down to my Mazda dealer to pick up a Winning Blue 8. I'm a student at UCR and I've seen a couple RX8s driving around campus. Would that be anyone here? Either way, hello to everyone here.
