When I traded the car in on Saturday I literally threw up because I was so upset over the situation.
I hope to still meet with everyone on get togethers. I will also be checking the board on a regular basis. The CX 7 I got is Pearl White with a black leather interior. It is nice but it is definitely not as much fun as the 8!!!!!

Don't throw anything at me for doing this. Also, I have a brand new set of Racing Beat Springs for the 8. If you are interested, email me at astrox@ix.netcom.com and make me an offer. I hope to see everyone soon, we really need to have another get together.

Thanks Again
and already missing my car,
Mike astrox
Hey guys & gals, just checking in, its been a while. Man, soon this will simply be a New Orleans general automotive forum moreso than an 8 forum. Astrox, I'm glad to hear that your doing well. You'll miss the 8 less and less each day. It may take a while. I sometimes have regrets, especially when trying to find a damn parking spot, lol. A truck comes in handy though, especially on a day like yesterday when I did a little off-roading in order to avoid gridlock traffic at the Saints game or today when all of Downtown has flooded! Monique, I can't believe your getting the new M3, that's sick. My uncle has a BMW 650 coupe and I got to drive it this weekend, lets just say I want a beemer now. Just don't kill yourself in it!

Monique has defected to the yuppy club and purchased an M3.

Mike had surgery and sold his 8 because his recovery would have been hampered by his overwhelming desire to drive.

Roger is now a travelling life insurance agent and seedy motels don't have internet access.

Bill turned 40 this year and is going thru his mid life crisis (party on, dude!).

I guess that explains it.

Why do we seem bored?

Hell, if anyone is bored, we can have a get together this saturday and sunday. I need to finish texturing 2 rooms, and then paint the ceilings. The ceilings can start to be painted now.

I'll buy beer, wine, everclear, whatever, and let's paint and texture.

Next Meet

Hey,

I'm still around as well. skwidd gave me **** about not posting, so here I am. Can't remember where I left off, but short of a turbo or SC, I've pretty much tried every mod I could. Last was the Mazdaspeed suspension (minus the sway bars) Car really feels solid now.

We really need to have another get together. It doesn't have to be fancy.. We just need a place, a date, and some will to party. We should try to draw in some new faces as well, since we seem to be hemoraging. Owning an 8 is kind of like being married. You have to be committed, love the relationship, and be prepared to deal with some mishaps.

Anyways, Let's make it happen.

Suggestions!!!!!

Sup all, I ended up purchasing a Z. I must say that the torque was much needed in the 8 but all in all I still miss the comfort of the 8.

Whats up with everyone? It's been quiet in here eh?

Anyone going to MM tonight?

I'm up for a get together, but I'm so freaking busy with work and trying to get the new house in shape, plus there's the work party next week, blah blah blah.

I really want to take some vacation time.
