Endymion. We'll be on Orleans Avenue, about 3 blocks from City Park Avenue. I think we'll also go to Bacchus, but I don't know the definite plans. I'm sure someone we know has a condo or apartment on the route.

Well, I should get the 8 back tomorrow. Keith said the mechanic had finished swapping out all of the parts that need to be swapped around 4PM today. Hopefully I get it back tomorrow. Actually, I wouldn't mind thursday, as I need to lug a few things around wednesday evening.
Oh well...
Oh well...
Sucks is that today I'll have another hell day at work and I'm not sure I can get it today.

I'm supposed to get it back tomorrow. I guess we'll see. Today Keith drove it and the front end wasn't aligned, so he brought it to a shop. I'm not holding my breath. hehe, The alignment shop will probably get backed up.

lol don't feel bad.....I braught my car to paretti monday *i had made an appointment*...for 3 things.
#1. to get my smart keys fixed *yea smart keys are cool, but they suck at the same time.*
#2. i need an allignment since i lowered the car
#3. needed an oil change, might as well do it since the car was gonna be there anyway.
So i bring the car in, *we were doing some work on the showroom up front*. after a couple hours they finally start to work on it. The ******* *Don, the mazdaspeed technician* comes up front and asks me to come to the back and look at something.......So i go back there and he starts talking **** about the car being lowered, and tries to act like he is the rx8 god and tells me i should raise it back to stock because it will handle better, etc *load of bull* and it was obvious i know more about performance than he does........Anyway, he tells me the car is to low to get on the lift, and he procedes to show me where its scraping. While sitting on the lift ramp, *which it was barely bottomed out at all, not even enough to do any damage.* and he asks me (do u want me to back it up a little and run it up the ramp *he was barely giving it enough gas to keep it from killing, infact it killed on him once cause he didn't give it enough*) and i told him, *afte rlooking under it and at it* "Yes, its ok go for it, its not bottomed out enough to damage anything, and if u want i will go get two 2x4's from my truck and make it fast and easy". And he looks at me and goes (I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS PIECE OF ****) and backs my car off the ramp, parks it, and get out and starts talking more bullshit.......I went back up front PISSED AS ALL HELL
So, in the end, my keys got fixed and/or replaced, my oil got changed, and my car still needs a freaking allignment and camber adjustment.......
PS. he also tried to tell me some bullshit about it being better for my car to have the 2 inches of tire touching the road *the stock camber position* than it would be if i had him set it to 0 camber *the whole tire touching the ground*.......what a ******* moron.....

He should be. I'm bringign mine in thurs b/c the tech didn't do the steering right. I have about 5 degrees of play. It's really annoying.
Also, lemme know when you want to install. They look great and are completely easy to do. I really like the extra light.

Man u guys dealer trips on have aftermarket intakes. I have one an the RP supercat an they never say crap about them everytime I take my car in. They just go right ahead an start working on the car. I left the bracket that I use to hold up the front part of my intake loose on purpose just to see if they would fix it. When I got the car home pop the hood and they fix it plus they added some strap thingy to keep it in place. Nice
