I think they are just busting on you. But seriously if you are that interested to drive a Greddy Turbo'ed RX8 shouldn't you be offering to drive somewhere around you ?

Here's a proper proposal... (and I'm being serious too, for me)

If anyone around the D/FW area Tx has an FI 8 I'd love to meet you at a public restaurant local to you, buy you dinner, and then ride in your 8 as you tear up your 'benchmark' stretch of asphalt... If you're comfortable with me driving your 8 I'd be much indebted but I also understand that your car is your baby just as my 8 is to me. I.e. if you don't want me to drive it I completely understand and won't bitch.

My 8 only has the RP shifter with a Voodoo magnum **** on it which you are welcome to drive even if you don't let me drive your car provided you show me you have full coverage insurance....

I'll buy you a beer after the drive too if we're enjoying each other's company...


That's the way you get to ride in a Greddy'd 8...

That's it!!! Not "I WANNA DRIVE A TURBO RX8, COME AND PICK ME UP AND LET ME DRIVE IT! THAT IS ALL I WANT JUST FEEL THE POWER, NOT GOING 140 MPH, I WANT I WANT BUT PLEASE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ME DRIVING YOUR TURBO RX8, LOL, COME WHERE I AM BECAUSE I CAN NOT MOVE FROM HERE, OR MAYBE I AM LAZY"

Just trying to do my part :-)

That's how I'd like to be approached if I had a modified ride... and I've used it before to drive a truck with the lift kit i was considering back in the day...

All it does is let you hang out with someone with like interests for a couple of hours... and everyone benefits...

Give me a break, you want someone, with no benefit to them, to drive to you so you can drive their car and THEY are the loser for not going out of their way, FOR YOU.

Who the hell do you think you are?

Then you should've been more careful when making this thread. You sounded like one of those egotistic asses. You never said anything about driving out, but you asked people to drive to where YOU live. You never mentioned anything about paying for their gas money either. People interpreted your thread and bashed at you just because you made it sound like you deserve to be bashed. It is your fault, not ours. So you better put some more thoughts in when posting on the site where not everyone is on top of your head and knows what you are thinking.
