This is my first time posting anything on the Forum. Hope it works ok!

"Jack's Paint Place" in Converse--the owner is a Miata-phile who lets the Bluebonnet Miatas use his place for their annual tech day, so I've been there, seen his work. They do beautiful custom work, no compromises.

RX8 in the Great NorthWest

rX-n-SA and others--I'm one of those you're seeing.

I'm in Mainland Square, had my 8 since October. There's another guy off the Southwest corner of Mainland and Tezel with a Titanium which he got as soon as they hit the showrooms. I've seen a yellow driving in Mainland Square, but haven't seen it parked.

See ya on the road!!

I drive a kitted Viper Blue Probe GT if any of you guys driving around see me, holla! Very nice cars!

The AlamoRXClub I think changed the weekly meeting to thursdays at Bennagan's (I-10 & Wurzback). I tried to make it last week but was too late, I did see a couple of FDs in the parking lot but I didn't see anyone out there.

I'm on-call this week but I'll try to make it out tonight.

Yeah I took a week off from work to get some stuff done I've been putting off. I brought it over there to get my A/C **** replaced and have them check the wiring on my shock sensor. The dealership in FL bungled the diode wiring when they installed the update kit to the sensor. After holding my car all day, they managed to get the sensor sorted out, but did not have the correct **** replacement. The real bummer, is that while "confirming the customer complaint" (I guess), they managed to break the **** even worse than it was. The post had only been cracked - allowing the **** to turn past the stops and allowing one to easily pull it off. Now the post actually has a piece broken out of it and it falls off when you step on the gas. I've been keeping it in the glove box (got tired of chasing it around the cabin every 5 minutes), but the exposed panel lighting is pretty annoying. Hopefully the new part will come in VERY soon. Hopefully it won't take them all day to pop a **** on this time.

This morning I am refilling the diff with Royal Purple over at the Lackland Auto Hobby shop. I had wanted to get an estimate from Jack's Paint Place for repairing my door this week, too, but I've run out of days...I'm taking more time off in 2 weeks, so I'll have to be sure and get over there then. Plus, I'll install my SS clutch hose and refill the MT with Red Line.

3 days before we moved from Florida, a lady at our church parked next to me in her SUV and her son flung open his door - making a huge dent with a deep scratch on my passenger side above the door handle. Scratch was down to the primer.

After I got home from refilling my differential, my speedbleeder had arrived in the mail. I knew that would happen - that was the last piece I've been waiting for to install my SS clutch hose.

Okay, thanks for the tip. Do you know if TX statutes say you only have to give insurance company 1 estimate? FL is like that, but I didn't know that last time.
