I brought my 8 back to the shop today. .. It's just like I thought they mounted the exhaust to low and welded every freaking thing on the exhaust. So now on my next day off I have to go back so they can do my exhaust right.

How are all my fellow NOLA 8 owners doing out there?

Had fun at scraping even though we only stayed a little while before going to Pensacola for the weekend. BTW, I drove the 8 and she performed fined, except my fuel pump started to die. Just my luck....

Yeah, so this is pretty f'ing LOOOOOOL! I get this morning from Paretti's automated system. It says my car is ready to be picked up. WTF? hahahahahaha

In other news, shortly before 5 this evening, Fremin called me to let me know the car is done. So tomorrow morning I get to pick it up and bring it to Ray Brandt to FINALLY get the rear shocks replaced.

I agree, Billy. I'm gonna make that 2 month mark.

We were doing slightly faster.... hehehe. Didn't think the cruise control worked in the triple digit range, but it does. Managed to get 19mpg fully loaded with excessive speeds. Burned a good bit of oil too, almost 1.5qts in 500miles. It was a fun trip and the beach there is awesome compared to ours. Can't wait to go back.


Any updates on your car Skwidd?


Anyone down to make a meet?
