I Love My 8 ...
Wow .. did the main squeeze and I have a super weekend. Grove City PA. 1 hour out of of Pittsburg PA. Factory Outlet Heaven. She shopped till she dropped and I drove the hills, valleys, curves and bends enjoying " Born in the USA" at MAX.
Got the Sweetheart up to around 90 mph. Love the button you can switch from kmp to mph. Talked to a couple in a Red .. they've never ever seen another 8 before. They are going in for their recall. It's her car. Has a Bmer but doesn't want to drive it anymore after getting her Sweet 8. Listen to this one guys and gals. Did 484 km on a tank of gas. Filled it up at 48.5 litres. So where's the next meet?

Driving Home
I-79, I-90 and the QEW for 95% of the way at about 78-85 mph on average. Think that's around 125-140 kph for about 3 1/2 hours. I'm over 44,000 km and I think you guys have been saying the mileage gets better with age. I think it does... Oh yea .. anybody (2 or 3) that I let pass me ... I waited for a cool spot and just jumped on the sweetheart and said "want to give it a go?" .. they never ever tried passing me again...

I am The One!
Mic is posting topics again... damn!
I've had the pleasure of experiencing a cruise in Hellbreed's car.... Even though I've been in the 8 before, I was never in one whenever we had a cruise...
First thing you notice is how comfortable you feel.... still feel cozy in the car, but you know you have room to move... that can be a good thing and a bad thing... good thing when you're on the highway just trying to get to the meet points... bad thing when you're in a high G corner!
I really like the way that Rev-i intake sounds.... But poor Hellbreed, couldn't even hear his Rev-i in the tunnel! The RX-7's are always going to be louder than the RX-8's...
Can't get over the fact how tall it is... The roof of the FD is at the mid point of the door on the 8! LOL :D
I like what Mazda has done with the RX-8... let's just hope they bring an RX-7 back into the game....
Lates,

Welcome Back Mic... I was wondering where you were? Is it a coincidence that you are back on line at the same time that the Stones are playing Toronto??? Those who haven't met you might wonder????

Lates,
Neo, When will you admit it to yourself that you are in love with the '8?:D The reason that the 7's are louder then the 8's is because half of you guys are missing your mufflers:p
Mic, Mic, Mic What am i gonna do with you. We saw Two nice little blonds on the weekend , so we picked them up and brought them with us so when you met up with us they could have gone in your car as "extra Company" :D ah well maby again next time

Once Again ...
Helas, these blondes you hooked up with... I hope were not from Nova Scotia.
Do you know why blondes from there never use vibrators ?
It chips their teeth..
Anyway, the "Chick Magnet" is as strong as ever and I have some how managed not to get any stains on the seats... How's your interior ?

Good one Darkmaz8! :D
The RX-8's ECU is wired to everything! The slightest change in something and you risk the life of your car... just a small piece of advice..
See everyone tonight...

Man, I just shat my pants.
haha, you got me soo good.
Once its installed ill come catch a meet with you guys
P.S Got back from my body shop for some touchups, and he sprayed a licence plate with my tit. grey, and 4 coats of blue pearl, and man, its looks awesome.
I may get it done on my car.
Its my normal colour when no direct sunlight is on it, but when sun is on it, it adds a blue/purple hue to the paint.
Ill bring the sample along with me.
So when is the next meet???? Next weekend? Please god let me know so I can come!
