You will really have to check out Sonic at 96th and Federal in Westminster Colorado. We have had about 300 cars there every Friday night.....that would be the biggest meet you will find while out here!

i will be going to Denver the 1st week of jan to go snowboarding in veil an dother parks....

Ok, who else is tired of all this snow, my baby has been out of the garage all of 4 times in the last 4 weeks. :mad:

Yes! I am so tired of the snow! I tryed to bring her out once before christmas to get a christmas present, and well 400 dollars later I had to replace my oxygen sensor due to the car being scrapped on the icey ground :-(. Today will be the first day I try taking it out since. I am very excited to drive it again, hopefully my side street isn't that bad.

The bright side of all this snow and not driving the 8, is it kept my miles below 15000 for the new year. but thats all.

So yesterday I tried to start up the 8 but it wouldn't start. My first thoughts were the battery because it had been sitting not driven in the cold for 4 weeks. However, the lights worked and radio and all that stuff. So second thought was that it flooded, well I was right. Turns out my dad had started her up so he could move it to dig out snow but he didn't know about the warm up and yep, flooded engine :-(. The good thing is, I used the instructions given by Mazda to fix the engine flood, and it worked! So all is well again, alright.

My girl has been out for two days now, just in time for more snow. :crying:

Well atleast I've been doing some snowboarding and the 6 is much better for hauling gear anyway.

I just got mine this weekend after havin a dsm for nearly 4 years and im glad i made the switch :mdrmed:

Heading out to Colorado Springs, Ft. Carson area by early April. I'm comming from Ft. Hood,Tx. Hoping to see more people out in that area with 8s. See my profile for pics. Colorado springs, get ready!!!!!-

4 ID huh..im at carson in 3 BCT. i've got a black 8...you can see pics on cardomain...or videos on youtube( youtube.com/swedishmax ). there are a couple of other 8's here...the big problem here is the altitude...it seems to affect the renesis a bit more than other engines... the power loss is terrible. hope to see ya on the roads.

Brand new owner here. Just bought my 2006 (10k miles) Silver 8 last week. I love driving it so far. I am in the Denver area. Can anyone give me their 2 cents on where they like to take their 8's for service? Mine doesn't need anything yet, but I want to be prepared when I do. Thanks!

Im finally at Colorado Springs. Where are good places to hang out. Whats up with the Import scene here. I don 't see much. But some are cool. Let me know.

RX8club meet May 6th / www.milehighrotaryclub.com
 

Everyone, please sign up for www.MileHighRotaryClub.com and go to Events section to get details on the 2007 Annual Spring Rotary Meet!


Sign up now and spread the word!

most of us in the springs hang out at the shell gas station on the corner of acadamy and briargate or the sams club on south academy near fort carson. There are quite a few 8 around here but i havent had a chance to speak to many of them and the import scene is auctually pretty big. everyone mainly comes put to play on friday and saturday nights

I updated the list of Known RX-8's with your name. If you run into anyone else with an RX-8, send them to www.milehighrotaryclub.com and have them add their info!

How do youl like the car. I bought mine 3 years ago. maybe you've seen me around. I bought my car from gateway mazda but take it for service at mazda of lakewood. much better servic over there.

So far I absolutely love my car. I don't think I have seen you around. So you like the service center at Mazda of Lakewood? I bought mine from Centennial Leasing and Sales, and they don't do service so I need to know where to take mine.

^ Ya. It's a great car to drive. From my experience Lakewood had great servic until they got a new service manager. He's probably just learning how everything works around there though. It's still better service than out in aroura.

If you want, I'm going to Bandimere this wednesday, come on up. I"m trying to get other 8 owners form the colorado forums to go and run their cars. I never see any 8's up there.

I started a new thread about our next Rotary meet but heres the info....we will be meeting in the far North East corner lot of Colorado Mills Mall from 1 - 4pm. Then for those who want....we will be taking a cruise up to Hog Heaven BBQ in Conifer. Should be a fun time! Hope to see you all there!

Yooo man...

I'm from College Station, TX. I moved to vail in november. But, my 8 is two toned silver/dark grey. And I am actually selling it :((( It makes me so sad, but I cannot afford the payment and am getting a Jeep so I can get around better during the winter. Hit me up when you're coming to Vail, we'll shred it up during the day and get crunk & drunk at night. I'll miss my 8 so much.... my favorite car I've owned definately. And a lady trapper ;)

Reminder...Rotary meet this Sunday! I know of a couple 8's coming but looking for more!

hey anybody here from junction im up here for buisness/work for a couple more days if anybody is from around here give me a call 1-505-947-1158 or mikemccln@hotmail.com

New RX-8 owner here. 2004 Titanium Gray 6spd Touring. I've had it about a month so far. I traded in a Mazda6i, so I've been in the Mazda family at least for a little bit. This is my first rotary, though. Hope y'all will also check out www.coloradomazdaclub.com too. Lots of Denver and Co Springs folks. We just started up.

How does everyones 8 handle in the mountains, like going up them? Im moving to colorado january of '09 and would like to know everyones opinion on the "climbing" part.

I took my 8 through Tahoe on the way to Reno and it was some what struggling to get up there but handled like a dream.

How is it at high altitude?

I haven't really had much of a prob in the mountains but i don't go up there much but when i do its a blast in the 8 :) in the snow I'm sure it wouldn't be fun lol
