Lafayette 8s?

I just moved to Lafayette to go to ULL and I've noticed there aren't many 8s around. I met a guy at a light that had a white FC and he said he has a silver '95 FD, but that's all I've seen concerning rotary.

Anyone live around or near Lafayette, LA ?

I live about a hour away from you in alexandria. Hit me up sometime. There is a small group of 8's around here...about 5. Last night a few of us went cruising. All are stock for the time but im just waiting for my warranty to go out in 2k miles so i can install my nitrous and exhaust.

Hey quinchu and altair, i just got back here from Houston, lived here last school year but last year i didnt have my 8 so its about a week old in la. I go to slcc though, only other 8 ive seen so far is a silver one, didnt see the driver tho. I'm down for a cruise though, i'm of pinhook. Been scared push my car to hard here though because ive heard tons of horror stories about having a car with tx plates as far as cops go.

Where around pinhook? I kept seeing a blue one in an apartment complex called Oakwood Bend, but I doubt that's you heh.

Anyways, don't be scared around laffy, just be cautious! There are quite a bit of police but if you know how to drive safe and fast then you're fine here! Plus I have texas tags on my car, need to replace them soon with LA tags..

Hook me up with a PM if ya ever wanna hang out / chill / joy ride!
