Spotted your 8 (Bay Area, CA)
Well, i saw the other spotted threads but it was in southern california so i decided to put a spotted thread for the people up north.
Well on the saturday (jan. 14) at around 8:30ish pm, i spotted a sunlight silver rx8 on the 880 freeway toward san jose. Stock looking and ran along side with this person till stevenson exit.
Secondly, coming home from work today at around 11pm, saw a winning blue rx8 in the parking lot of krispy kreme in union landing. No other details.
I drive a winning blue rx8 with splash guards mostly around the union city area and fremont area. Hope to see you all around and go to the meets and everything.

I'm in a TiGray and I'm usually going north on the 101 from San Jose to Palo Alto. I saw one RX-8 park next to me in a Palo Alto garage, but I didn't have any paper on me to leave a note. By the time I came back, he was gone. It was a Winning Blue one if anybody has gone up there in the past week.

I too drive a 2004 Velocity Red with GT package in The City, however, not quite so often, since I take public transport most of the days. On weekends, I typically drive down 101, 85 and 280 on my way to Cupertino and back. I usually wave to other RX8s when I see them.

I saw a red 8 this past Sat. Followed it from 580 in Castro Valley, all the way across the San Mateo bridge. Thought it was going to the meet, but I never saw it arrive.

Saw a silver rx8 on 880 sometime last week going toward san jose. It had a spoiler and clear corners but the guy never looked when i passed him or he passed me. Well, if you're on the forum, that was me in the blue rx8! Haha, it was in the morning. Then i took the stevensons exit and took the back road to auto mall parkway, saw a either strato blue rx8 or brilliant black rx8 with aftermarekt front bumper i believe, it was parked at a building and i guess that person works there. Well, yeah.

I see this Red RX-8 on 85 every morning before or during 9AM. Two kinds: one looks stock and the other with an MS front bumper. I've seen the drivers and none of them look familiar to me.

That's funny. I have been very flakey lately. I don't think I've been to a meet since last October. There's always something on the weekends that stops me.
BTW, any of you been mountain carving lately? I went to Woodside (84) / La Honda route last Saturday. It was raining hard and a red 3 series was hot-tailing me. Went down to Capitola through highway 1, and then back up using highway 17. I don't know what I was thinking, the entire drive was soaked and foggy. I'm definitely more impressed with my KDW's after that drive.

Okae, the rx8 down lawrence st isn't a strato blue or bb rx8, its a nordic green with i believe a mazdaspeed front bumper parked in front of a building that has a label of "pier 1" i think or something close to that. It does have a clear corners and excpet for the front, it has the appearence package. If you're here, i'm the blue rx8 that was in front of that building checking out your ride, very very nice, i was hoping you saw me and would come out but then i felt kinda dumb and just got in my car and left for rotary extreme. Also, theres a red rx8 with strakes, aftermarket rims, i believe lowered and with clear corners. Also, it has the mazdaspeed tow hook on the rear bumper. I know its auto and it got a radar on it, if you're here, whats up! I know this person goes to Ohlone college so yeah.

LOL, gotta love the part "but heard your exhaust and looked and there you were". Its actually sadly ironic that your car is probably twice as loud as his right now.
