this overpass if for people like me that don't wanna deal with the traffic when i go to phoenix!! i've been waiting a couple of years now for them to complete it!! its suppose to be done in 2009 i hope!!

Hoover Dam? cool pics. what fogs(yellow ones) are on the black 8?

How is the water level? is it still very low?

Very cool pics. I've got to make my way to the Hoover. MS6 looks good wth those wheels.

it was a real fun drive...i haven't been there in super long ididn't realize it was that close...we should go more often!
:)

DANG - you guys are BRAVE! Who explained the "Shift Beep" was NOT the All-Spark??

i didn't see megatron i was busy trying to find megan fox!!

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun, too bad it wasnt a very pretty day.

Funny. The lights on that CX-7(?) look almost identical to the RX8's & the wheels look like the wheels onthe Mazda3.. Plus, the interior dash luster on the Mazda3 looks like the one from the RX8.. Hmmm..

lol at the transformers pic - so to the OP - I'm not trying to be a jerk but were you guys holding up traffic in that vid? You were CRAWLING - let's see some driving! I personally know there are amazing driving roads right in that area. Is it me or does the speed6 look lower than EVERY rx8? Is it dropped?

Some pics I took... ;)

Not holding up traffic but doing the speed limit. There is no room for error up there and if you slip up thats it. We seen a lot of wrecks and I got my ass chewed out by a cop for not doing 15mph. My Friend Mike was with his fam in there new CX-7 when some guy was looking at a wrecked Solstice locked up his brakes and just about went head on with Mike. Cars and Trucks where spinning there wheels.

Nice pic's now for you guys to buy BHR radaitor to keep them cool.

Nice, i'll have to go next time. BTW, clear corners needed ;p I like the ones on the black rx8

I heard they are closing the dam to traffic once the new bridge is completed...

lol i see mike but i dont see his car!!

gotta rep the wwps!!

drive was fun!!!! nice pics everybody..

I was going to buy them but I needed more Speaker Wire. I had no option on funds :(
Next time :)

Yeah Mike lets do this one more time but when its not raining and just before they close the twistys for good :)

I played around w/ some of the other pics i took...

Gold rims???????? Can't remember anyone with gold rims on a silver 8.

^ I believe he was talking about 07BB08... he's on TEIN BASICS ;)

Nice pics....i was in Vegas last month. Too bad the weather didnt cooperate, but still a fun drive im sure.

Did anyone notice how low the water is behind the dam.

I cant wait 'till they finish the bridge. Its suppposed to be completed by '09.

The water is still very low but may come up a little this year due to the amount of rain and snow.

The road will not be complete until 2010 and maybe a little later. Had a problem with the cranes and some engineering glitches.

^Yeah due to them Cranes falling over due to high winds they stoped work for about a year.
