Had a fellow Black 8 come up behind me as I was exiting TC Jester on 610 in Houston. Looked clean from my rear view mirror, couldn't see who was driving.

I'm kinda pissed. On Wednesday night, I almost got hit by a VR RX8. He was crossing an intersection that goes over that hill at Old Spicewood. He came flying over the crest, misjudged it, came into my lane and swerved to miss me head on. He was hard on the gas the whole way.

If you're reading this, yah, that was me in the red GTO. I mean come on dude. I'm no angel by any stretch of the imagination, but if you're going to goof off on the street, at least paint between the lines so you don't f up somebody elses car, life, fill in the blank.

There is a bunch of 8s in Arlington... I see all the colors. TI, WB, LY, SS, VR. Never post it b/c you all would probably write this thread off as spam if I posted everyone I saw.

**** man, when you going? Just be careful of the cyclists and motorcycles I'm booked up Sunday evening, but I'll be free during the day to go play



edit: back on topic, I saw a silver tonight on the way home full of beeeeyoootiful girls, one in the passenger seat seemed REALLY drunk as she was trying to talk to me and slurring really bad, maybe I'll see them again someday

Ever since I moved to my new appartment, I'm seeing 8's all the time.

Has anyone here spotted a Black 8 on Louetta or Boudreaux rd? I don't know if I'm passing the same dark greenish/bluish RX8s every damn day, or if I'm passing the same person damn near every day...

Any takers?

Louetta?
Boudreaux?
249?
Anyone?

Loop 12.

Yesterday: Saw a WB, S.bound on Lp 12 approaching TX Stad, doing like 55! (Dude what's up with you???) I moved over from the left lane (where an RX-8 belongs), to the middle, pulled next to you and honked. No response. No love. No respect. You suck. Hope you enjoyed your my downshift.

A few miles later while playing, a 911 comes up behind me wanting to play...and later a Jetta, which performed quite admirably. (Jettas have my respect now). The three of us went on to exceed 100 mph playing the Lane Game -- all very well performed, safely done, no tailgating or gross cutoffs, and signaling lane changes.

There's something about being at 7K in 4th gear that can't be described. I haven't had that feeling of performance even when flying a jet! Whoo!

But where were you, Winning Blue???

ended up going this past friday night, saw a couple rx8s on the way there, almost had a crash, went off road on one of the decreasing radius corner and my right rear rim clipped some large rocks (i thought i ruined my whole right side of the car), almost hit a deer and well, overall scary *** experience. my friend's gti was keeping up good except when i am pushing very very hard.. but then i am leading in total darkness with no prior experience lol =/

EDIT: i wanna see the goddess.

whoa man didn't know you were going at night, could have told you not to do that, that road is murderous in the dark, it's bad enough in daylight for a first timer (eek!) I've seen homechick like 2-3 times recently, she lives in some apartments by my hood

Yesterday around lunch time I saw a blue 8 with a MazdaSpeed kit on it turning onto Ella from 610 on the north side.

Today I saw a silver 8 exiting Westheimer off of 610 in the galleria area.

I was in the Vehicross both times though.

it's not bad, there's actually much funner and safer roads out in the hill country, I've been meaning to get back and start hitting our club events but work and the car show season have been pwning me as of late, might just go hit some backroads on my own Sunday or something to get my fix

there are definately safer roads, this road will KILL you eventually if u drive it enough .... i can only imagine going though the decreasing radious corner at speed only to have another guy comming from the opposit direction using both lane cause he enter too hot and kill u.

on a side note.. anyone with a friend with a decent looking used bike for sale? >.< idealy ninja 250 lol
