Not really, I just see them and report. Most of the time I'm not in my 8.

And since I'm not getting any responses, looks like they don't bother to repsond or they are not on the forum.

I think the majority of 8 drivers are not on this site. Their loss - I'm sure their cars and they would be much happier if they were on here.

@De Anza College, saw a velocity red RX8 with what looks like the Mint Blue body kit and a black JGTC-style spoiler? I'm in the MS ti-grey 8.

That can be arranged LOL
Just print out the logo at the top and use those

OK,

Saw a silver RX-8 @ about 7:30am on Bunker Rd heading towards Sausalito. (Maybe came from southbound 101?)

I was in a Ford Focus that cut across you, you appeared out of no where from the tunnel, Sorry!

Parked outside Men's Macys on Steven's Creek Blvd. side. Sunlight Silver Sport auto with spoiler with a rear bumper that looked like it had visited other bumpers too many times. Sad.

Best spot is at the Intersection of 84 and Skyline. We can do a run to the beach from there, go to Saratoga Ave, or Page Mill, which are full of bikers (I tried chasing one, but almost hit 100mph on Skyline) All are tight with hair pin curves. No night run though, as CHP are lurking and if you don't know the roads....you might fall off a cliff...., I have done several runs, but never got over 3rd gear, let alone 2nd on the downhill on 84 and Pagemill.

Soooo,

My sighting today, Grey RX8 turned left onto Presido from Balboa, continued onto 19th Ave, but lost at about Taraval(sp?) in SF, young guy....maybe on his way to class at SFSU?

Velocity Red Touring or GT, stock with rear spoiler and front rotary emblem. Not sure about rear emblem. Driven by middle-aged fellow. Turned right onto El Camino North from Hanford in Santa Clara/Sunnyvale. Doubt the driver is on here...

Me again. Cupertino Square last night 2nd floor of parking structure behind the AMC movie theater. Two RX-8s. One manual Galaxy Gray was looking for a parking space, driven by guy and I think had HIDs and spoiler. 2nd was parked and was Phantom Blue and also with a spoiler.

At around 6 I was Driving behind a Black R3 today on Brother hood until we went on the freeway ramp toward 280 south... I was in the silver Tacoma behind you and I honked the hell out of the Camry infront of you which was causing traffic by going 10 mph on a 45 mph zone.
