CUE2's RX-8

Welcome Jumah and congrats on the Green GT. You should see me driving around, as I live next to Standley Lake and always cruise down Wadsworth.

Enjoy the ride!

Jumah

It's pretty much all I drive. I usually wave at other 8's when I see them. there are 2 or 3 that regularly run C-470 about the same time I do on weekdays, I think they all are under the impression I am insane for waving at them every time I see them

Standly Lake uh? Is that the black one that buried me on 104th Ave a few months ago at like 5am? I freaking ground 2nd that morning. How embarrassing is that? (And here I am admitting it. lol) I don't mind being out driven by another 8 owner though, was laughing my @$$ off the rest of the way to work that day.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome all. I am sure we will be seeing eachother on the roads!!

Yeah i get that too sometimes. I at least try to honk if I don't see the 8 until it's too late. I get the same weird looks, like I am stupid or something. I dont really care though i would give a wave to any fellow 8er. :D

Jumah, it wasn't me that burned you on 104th. I have a red RX-8, and that's too early in the morning for me to race. :D

Jumah

It's the only time I would do it on 104th. And then only in the summer. Would never do that during th eschool year. I have a vested interest in that. School zones are like, the one place I can manage to keep it under the posted limit.

Oh BTW, I spoke with Navteq today about map updates. The disc will be available this month for around $199, and Mazda is supposed to send out a firmware update for those of us with early model '04's So be on the look out for that disc, and if you don't get it by the end of the month, call the dealership, as the new maps won't work on your navi without the update.

CUE2's RX-8

I don't know about spending $200 on the new disc. They would need to remove that (darn) Caution startup screen, and fill it with some cooler, 3D graphics before I would consider it.

Overall, I'm very happy with my current NavTeq disc, so I'll wait until I see the final product offering.

Hi Jumah, keep an eye out for the hot yellow in your neck of the woods and don't stop waving. You might see me as I zip around from school to school in the Adams 12 area. Mostly anywhere from 136th to 104th and Lowell to Colorado Blvd.

Jumah

Hey my kids go to school in adams 12. (Charter school). Small world. I doubt I could stop waving even if i wanted to. I used to be a field tech for TCI (Then AT&T Broadband, then Comcast.... Next?!) And we had a standing unwritten policy of waving to one another as we passed on the streets between jobs..... I still wave at them from my personal vehicle out of habbit. Talk about getting crazy looks, You can see it on their faces, "Who is this fool in the nice car waving at me for no aparent reason....."

*sigh*

And such is my life.......................

Silver Shot

I'm down in Colorado Springs. Owner as of late July .

Jumah

Finally got my baby, (ok I got it on 8-20 but I've been too busy driving to post
Nordica Green GT with Chapparal interior. And just in time for winter. WOOHOO!! Time to start lookin for a beater of a 4x4 for the snow days.

Zuhalter Vati

Why is Colorado so damn quite? :D

mlx8

Getting ready for PPIR Saturday (open to all cars/marques) and Sunday (Ferrari of Denver Customer Appreciation event, .... well it is a red car.) Just had Mike Mowry, Precission Imports on 4444 S Federal put in a Tien "Flex" coil over kit; along with a full, new set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 265/35's and order in a set of (? I think these will be) the "93c" compound Performance Friction brake pads.

If you want some Rocky Mountain division noise Zuhalter, you should get your self and your car down to PPIR for at least Saturday's event. I don't think it's not too late to contact QuickChicks (Leslie Howard) and get signed up.

Cheers

Silver Shot

Hey, it's supposed to be nice next weekend. Anyone interested in one last meet before the weather turns completely sour?

Zuhalter Vati

I would love to this weekend, but I am going to be driving my 8 down to New Mexico. I would be down for anytime after that though.

Silver Shot

Well, I deploy fairly soon, so just wanted to get in some cruisin before I go. What's goin on down in New Mexico?

Zuhalter Vati

Just have family stuff down there. I plan on being back in Colorado next week and would love to get the colorado people together.

I tried to post on RockymountainRX8 but it came up with an error....can someone please post on there for me?

Joz

Mike, Where? Denver? Colorado Springs?
Omnicron may be able to help you post it on RockymountainRX8.
I won't be able to go as I'm finishing up the year's Motorcycle Trials State Championship circut on the 6th but it's good to know that we're still around.
Cheers! -Joz-

Zuhalter Vati

I'll be there for sure.

Joz, that is in Lakewood. 3rd and Union. It is just off of Alameda and Union and near 6th and Sims. BTW do you drive a titanium grey with strakes?

Also, I believe the Rockymountain forum is no longer working. I may be wrong, but at the last meet we discussed removing it for lack of traffic and most people come here.

Joz

Mine is Silver w/ strakes. I'm mostly on the east side of Centennial with regular trips to Erie. I've removed my badges too (but still haven't filled in the holes!). I've been driving with just the holes since Feburary. I REALLY need to get them filled and painted!
Sorry for the confusion about Lakewood.
I may be one of the only ones keeping the hit counter working on the Rockymountain site (if there is one). I have it as my home page in IE. 98% of the time I use Firefox, but have to do my timecard in IE. If you think there's traffic it may just be me hitting the site. I don't think it's been updated for quite a while and this site is quite good as long as us Coloradans keep checking in on our forum. I keep loading the site just in case something is going on and to help keep it alive if we need it.

Zuhalter Vati

Maybe it was a silver I saw driving down University. I only caught a glimpse.

I saw a Blue and a Yellow on NB I25 today, why don't I ever see any when I am actually in my 8 damnit!

Joz

Well, I just had to pay a visit to Second Creek (just East of Commerce City) today. Apparently they're closing. The place was packed with all kinds of machinery! Just in case anyone has forgotten how much fun an 8 is on the track: IT ROCKS!!!!
Much nicer to spend 4 hours with friends at the track than at work!
All I can say is that I'm looking forward to our next track day!
Cheers,
-Joz-

Any SCCA or other car club members in the Denver area? I'm planning on doing one of the free days at Second Creek this week.

Zuhalter Vati

I didn't know they had free days this week...is there a way to become an SCCA member on short notice? Also, does Rocky Mountain RX8 club count? I dunno
