Took the thank you flyer in a frame to Terrance the parts manager at Legend Mazda. Really nice guy. He was very appreciative and offered us parts discount if you ask for him. Talked to him about ordering the Apearrance Package at Xmas time said he would sell it to me at cost. Also he will email Jiggawha (Mark) when they are having their Grand Opening of their new building. We can line up are 8s in front of the new dealership...

Another story....so we are flying down some roads that have these huge hills, and at one of the bases of a hill there was a small dip which multiplied the intensity of the bump x 100....ANYWAYS deadphoenix is just cruisin in front on me when suddenly he reaches this little dip and his car(mostly his exhaust) bottoms out and a cloud of pebbles flys up into my windshield and what not....lucky me, I catch one of these suckers in my mouth(no joke) and I am sure there are still rocks under my seat haha, but I laughed histerically as we continued through the hills, minding that Mr. Phoenix was far more observant of those hills

haha yes. those dips were nasty. i bottomed out 6 or 7 times on those. i didnt want to take them too slow, thats no fun, but it was hard to guage how bad the dip was until you hear the 1 second long scrape of your exhaust. damn turboXS with its low pipe. at least it sounds good.

What happened to Pearl White Sleeper? Did he make it?
He was asking me questions about the clearance on the dips last Thursday.
Just wondering how he made out.


Oh, BTW, working on a possible really nice deal out of Irving - if all things work out it will be great
Don't tell anyone yet - no one reads this stuff right?

He made it all right. Just his pride a little scuffed. He went to bed early that day, if you know what I mean. hahaha
He drove home all right. Do not know if he took those cattle crossing and those dips fast or slow but he made it ok.

So is his one of these in all the photos?

I found out about those cattle guards myself, seems at about 85-90 those dudes tend to grind off the bottoms of my splash guards and they work sort of like playing cards in your bicycle spokes (OMG I just dated myself BIG TIME, I bet 3/4 of the people on here have no idea what I am talking about)

But - it is fun - parts are parts they can be replaced

Yeah his car is in some picks, there were only two white cars there his and one from the San Antanio crew. He's got special rims if that helps.

He was behind me on the third part of the three sisters and he seemed to stay up with me. I think I may have taken one or two of the last guards at 50 because they werent marked well, but on most of the others I took at 20-30 and just gunned the hell out of it afterwards. I noticed he lagged a couple times after he took them, but he always seemed to catch up... at least until he started smokin real bad.

I sent the parts manager at Freeman Mazda some pics and this is what he sent back

Stephen (and Club), thanks so much for the pictures! They brought back some fond memories for me, since I lived for a period of time
in Kerrville. Please feel free to use us as a resource for any of your RX8
needs, questions, etc.
