RX-8 Hits South Beach

Well I was cruising south beach Hung-over *** hell Sunday morning and I see what appears to be an rx-8. I had to do a double take to realize that yes it was one. So I go around a few cars and get right behind it. So a fine litle chick walking next to it see's my car and tell's me that there promoting the car so I follow them. I cruised all Ocean Drive right behing it. I was jacking off the whole way. So we find somewhere to park so peple can take pictures with the car. Meanwhile the people working for the promotion company don't now **** about the rotary engine so I start helping answer peoples questions. By now the chick that owns the production company notices that I now my **** (At least more than they do). So I have an Interview tomorrow morning so I can work for them. So If all goes well I'll be driving an RX-8 by thusrday. I will also now where the car will be next so I can Let you guy's now. I will try to take the car to the Tower Shops car show Friday night.

PS: They're also giving free Vip passes to Club Level for the whole week. So if you guy's want to come down to South beach now will be a good time.

Drunk chicks left and right + free vip passes

What a different world than where I'm from (IL) or live (MD); oh, to be young and living in FL ... Okay, back to reality - did notice one is cloth with manual seat, one has power driver's seat. The two pics seem to imply that the manual is higher - I believe from what I've read there is a height adjustment on both - can you confirm that - and is the range of adjustment about the same? Also - the side of the seat going around to the back looks to be quite different - assume the cloth is mostly cloth except for the air bag cover - what it the leather seat side made from? Thanks, hope you got the job!

well I got the job. $20/hour to take pictures of girls in bikini's sitting in an RX-8. Can't beat that. Looks like a nogo for tower shops. The car has to remain in south beach. I'll be working the rest of the week from 11AM to 7pm and on sat I'll be working from 7pm to 11pm. If you anyone want's to come see the car on sat night call me on sat after 7pm (786)262-7254 so I can tell you where we are and hook it up with the VIP passes to level. That's where I'm going when I get of work.

Today I only worked with the RX-8 with the cloth. Tomorrow morning we have to wash the cars, so I'll have them both. I'll be able to compare and answer all your questions.

Today was a good day. Our orders today where to have one RX-8 at Ocean Drive so people can take pictures with it, and take the 2nd RX-8 and go cruising through south beach and tell people where they can take a picture with the car. So me and some other kid say( We'll Take The 2nd!!!!) and so we did. We poped in the (GRAND THEFT AUTO) sound track and went cruising. Everywhere we went we would hear people saying what car is that!!!. It was so funny. I had to take shotgun since my driving record isn't in yet, but it should be in by friday. Then it's time for some 9000k RPM shifting. I still can't believe I'm getting paid for this ****.

The cars will be on south beach for the rest of the week, and I'll also be working. Give me a call if you want to come down in the daytime (786)262-7254 and I'll tell you where the cars are at. I'll have my phone on me.

I went on my lunch hour in my FD. Drove down Ocean drive from 5 - 15 going North (2:00 - 2:30pm) and I didn't see the 8. So I came back to work. I was going to call but I left the Cell number on my desk.. I just want to park the FD next to the 8 and snap some pictures to see how much bigger the 8 is..

what's up fellas,

Good news, There is a Playboy party Friday night at the (Raleigh Hotel 19st Collins Ave) and guess what, WE HAVE VIP PASSES!!! but they're going fast. The party starts at 7pm and that's when I get off, so it's party time. One of the forum members came by today hiss passes are ready to go. He also got lucky that it was our 6:30 pm shift change, so I was the only one there with the car so I let him REV UP THE ENGINE and GO THROUGH THE GEARS(your not allow to do that!!!!). So if you want to come party call me early (Noon) and I'll let you now if we still have any left.

Luis

That's a great idea and I'm sure it could be set up. I also want one of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen + RX8 side by side. Maybe we can do it tomorrow.
