The 8's were represented till about 1:00am then, no mas!

Just got home. Had to post now for the time stamp.

Good to see you all. I had a good time. And, to those that I I caused problems for because of my t-shirt: think of it as something to think about!

A trouble maker if ever I saw one All in good fun right?

Was a good second meet. Thanks for the picks Lord ET! Maybe next time more people can remember to bring camera's. Luckily you had us covered. I'm just happy my 8 could finally be in some pictures. Seriously need to take some more of her.

So I presume that next meet will be in two weeks, aka no meet next tuesday because we are going to the Thursday FTW meet instead?

P.S. man you guys are crazy for staying out that late! I guess I love my sleep too much even though I can never seem to get enough.

Woah, I take a few days off and look at what I miss! Sorry I wasn't there, hell of a week. Actually at eight p.m. Tuesday I was talking the cops into not arresting me for "breaking in" to my office and setting off the alarm-ironic since Scott and Trav and I were just talking about office keys last Tuesday! Hmmm...

And for the record, four of us DID go to the Babe's meet Tuesday, we just didn't see anyone else and opted for a cruise with the coming storm. Sorry guys, we should trade numbers!

Great pics, wish I'd been there but I don't have my 8 right now anyway. I mean, I'm driving Brian's but I'm not playa enough to actually try to rep that pimpmobile...next time!

Yeah they're scotts, though they arent purple, more like a strange blueish color. They are leds he did custom for himself, and considering all the work he put into them they would be hot no matter what color

True for everything on Scott's car.

Mine, on the other hand, never has ANYTHING go right. I got a new transmission and clutch three weeks ago. Now the transmission is messing up worse than it was before I even took it in the first time, HOW does that HAPPEN?!

So Brian and I traded cars so he could give me some insight on exactly what the problem was so I'd know what to tell Mazda cause I'm tired of going up there...so I had his car.

But his rear strut is jacked and the power steering keeps going out, it's throwing me all over the road. So I'm only driving to work and back til we trade back on Monday. Cause he left for Hawaii before we could switch keys. But then it's going to the shop. So I'll probably be in a 3 for a while. Again.

Is the 8 really worth it? Helllll YES it is! Patience is a virtue.

Phantom is the blue/teal color right? I went to go look up Stormy on the Mazda Website... Looks like the Stormy comes with matching sidemarkers... lol

Mine, on the other hand, never has ANYTHING go right. ~agcutie03
Could be PEBSWADS Errors.

I know that this issue has come before in the 8, but it is solely an 8 Issue. There have been some in the Colorados, too.

PEBSWADS is most commonly linked to those that got an "F" in "Sex" on their Drivers License. Husbands, Boyfriends and Fathers have heard and found the symptoms of this error for years. Common statements that come prior to finding a PEBSWADS Error include but are not limited to, "The 'Hot/Cold' needle thingy was inthe red all the way home," "The brakes are no longer squeaking, it is more of a grinding," "The Oil Light has been on for a week, forgot to tell you," and "The car smells funny after I have been in stop and go traffic or going up hills."


Oh, PEBSWADS

Problem Exists Between Steering Wheel And Driver's Seat

Wow. How DARE you. I fully admit ignorance when that's the case but sometimes I just have some comical bad luck, okay?

And I like the Phantom, looks darker night, I'm jealous.

And Stormy Blue with matching sidemarkers? Hmmm...I saw no such thing at the dealership the other day...did I miss something?
