that was stupid. one night i left university around 1:30 am, and one the way back home i ran out the fuel, so then i stopped by the petro-canada by my condo; i parked by a pump and i was ready to get off the car; there was a white truck parked at the front of me. i thought he was gonna just park there, however, he started to reverse and backed into my front right side fender. that was the last week before my finals.

That would have been me (both times). I just had my winters taken off and my S03s put on so I was just going for a little ride around the neighbourhood. Never drove the car without summers on as I got the car in the winter. Man the car feels like a totally different car with the summers on. I love it!

I actually drove from the hamptons up to the superstore last night where I spotted a drunk driver. Called the police. The guy was driving in between two lates swerving around. I followed him into Edgepark Blvd and he ran straight thru a stop sign. Got his plates etc. Hopefully the cops arrested the guy.

hey Early 30, that was me Buddman driving on the 22X. Sorry for the delayed response but I haven't been on the site for a while. I am now a member of the new engine club. Mine packed it in about 2 weeks ago at 59,850KLM's or so. new one is running fine and I hope to keep it that way. Kramer replaced with a new one brought in from Japan, no charge to me, no problems and they even gave me a loaner.

nope...I was out in the South most of the afternoon. Got real bored and went to the automall to look at convertibles. Hoping to get one.


I spot about 4 or more rx-8s each afternoon when I head out for lunch out in the Southland area where I work. Seems to be a lot of 8's around there.

Just something interesting, there's a new Hyundai open in my backyard, well sort of. Royal Oak Hyundai or whatever it's called. And...on their lot I spotted a BRAND NEW 40th anniversary sitting there which made me go wtf (did anyone notice the 40th anniversary has blue tinted fogs, hehe)?? Then I spotted about 40+ new Mazdas on their lot as well. I hope this means they are opening a brand new Mazda in my backyard. Since an Audi dealer recently opened there as well.
