Hey all!
Friend from work showed me this site. Figured I would introduce myself.
My Name is Tristan. Originally from NYC I moved to California 3 years ago.
I have been an avid sports car fan since my dad showed me his GT40 right before he began racing formula Atlantic cars.
For me import was always in my blood.
I have owned 2 Ford Probe GT’s when i first started driving(not counting the moped years lol) and even then, mazda clutch
Then I owned a BMW 2002 325ci for 4 years and loved it into the ground. So I JUST as of FRIDAY, traded it in for an amazing RX8 R3.
Here are some pics I took today of my baby, without plates yet

My dad came out from NY to visit and helped kick me in the ass to give up a bit of my vice grip on the funds and get a new car. He owns a Porche Caymen and Carerra GT and Supra twin turbo turned single turbo with 650 HP it’s kinda crazy, and yes he owned it before the movie. So it was my turn to get a more sporty car.
Anywho this is about me DAMMIT!! lol, so this is my FIRST BRAND NEW car and I love it to death.
Anywhoo, I have ranted enough. Look forward to meeting you all at a gathering, hopefully I can park with the big boys and not in the back with the new rules 😛
Welcome Triston.
Great cars, a little heavy on the fuel I’m told. Interestingly I sat on the Mazda consumer feedback panel when the car was a concept and full scale mock up at Mazda’s old HQ seven yrs ago or something like that. Have fun at C&C.
grats on the new car that’s quite a hot rod for its size engine. drivesmile
Sweet dude! How would you describe CA compared to NY? Congrats on the car too. I Like the wheels on it…stock?
An RX-8 🙂 That the R3 model?
Congrats on the car! Are you a member on rx8club.com too?I am new at this so bare with me. I own a 2001 vette third onwer. I went to the cars and coffee in Irvine. I was like a kid in a candy store beautiful cars from old to new. I plan to go next next weekend nice a early so I can park my car next to those newer vette. Hope to see you there feel free to just say hi. Owner of a yellow 2001 vette. By the way you got a nice looking car….
Neat car, are there any show worthy modifications on the car or anything that would make it unique “of interest?” or “unusual?”. I think there is pre 78 guideline in effect at one time. I have gone a few times and seen some excellent show worthy cars parked outside the exhibit in general parking. When I got to the lot it was full and there were just some regular stock cars inside taking up valuable real estate. Please see

I thought about parking inside (a BMW) but when I saw the caliber of cars inside I felt it would be wrong to put a “normal” car inside exhibit area. So just do what I do park in general parking go in and have a cup of coffee, snap a few pics and enjoy the great show worthy cars.
Hello everybody from Cars and Coffee I am glad to be a new member here hope to meet you in the next event. I do not have an exotic car like most of you but I do have a very rare car that you dont see much going around nor do a lot of car guys out really really understand much about this car, in stock trim it has 400hp and 408 torque so far I have added an upgrade pulley and exhaust, hope to see you all soon.
