No you didn't!!!!!!!!!! I wanna see it if you did!! I have always dreamed of having one of those BEAUTIES!!!

 

No pictures yet, but I'll work on it. BTW, since no one else is asking MadDog... MadDog, why were you are the Lexus Dealer?

 

Mighty nice car, I'm sure it rides oh so nice. Big difference between that and the Ocho... But it is all about what meets your life style. So are you going to give it a run through one of the auto X events Actually 0 to 60 time not bad numbers at all, less than 7 seconds.

I have to say I don't miss the 8's poor gas mileage; My vette is averaging about 24 to 26 in town with normal driving/some sporty runs and 26 to 30 on HWY.. same scenario. I still check out the 8's, great car and I think it still turns heads.

Hope you all have a great Independence Day!

 

Nice! I think those new ES350's are pretty slick. 272hp?? wow. that must be pretty quick!

Nice try, Kewl. But your effort to diffuse the rage of the forum for trading your 8 is futile. I wasn't at the Lexus dealer. I actually saw the car (and your trademark emblem) while flying down I-25! I got the picture from their website.

 

Well...I had to try MadDog. What's the status of your twin turbo project? I still wouldn't mind a few minutes behind the wheel with those installed.

 

tagged an 8 with the website after i got done watching transformers lets see if he/she shows up.....white 8 it was i swear

 

Hey slayer, How was the movie?? I was watching the preview the other day on TV & I could have sworn that one of the Transformers was an 8? I sure hope that the white 8 shows up because it has been rather DEADLY quite here as of late!

 

I've been tagging cars like crazy - well - 3 in as many days.

We need a gathering to make it interesting. I'm thinking this weekend for a drive? (yes Kewl and Ocho, you are both still invited.)

 

I vote for a Sunday drive! I have alot happening on Saturday, so I would not be able to make it then.

 

I might be up for this. Even though Sunday is my 30th bday.

 

the movie was great but unfortunatly it was not an 8 i know i know i was upset about that to the car you and everybody else inthe theater thought it was an 8 but sadly it was a solstice not an 8 as for this weekend i am off but kinda have a car show to go to on sat sun but i will try to escape that to go and cruise

 

btw happy early b-day nemesis

 

Here here nemesis!! You know after 30 comes 50!! LOL!! Have a blast on your B-Day!

 

I am up for sunday drive too.

 

What does everyone think about a drive into the Jemez in the AM and stop and have some lunch?

 

I'd be down. Maybe lunch in Los Alamos?

 

sorry have a corvette rally and bbq this sunday in santa fe. over 100 cars expected and we get police escorts for us through santa fe and up to hyde memorial park.. otherwise i would be down. i just installed intake system on the vette. new catless z06 exhaust and tune in about 2 weeks should give me about 50 extra ponies. well hope you all have fun! and maybe i can meet up next time. oh happy b day .......... chow... justin

 

Was down at the Butte this weekend and saw a nice black 8 parked on the hill not far from my camp. Anyone here?

 

Tonight is the 2nd time for this church to host a free Autocross. My understanding is they will have grub as well.

Sorry for the late notice, but here it is:

SageBrush Church Autocross

Hope to see some 8's out there!

 

WOW... everyone must be busy... this place gets as much action as Barbara bush. anyway... here is a great site to check out.. give something worth reading http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

 

You are not kidding Ocho! Great to see you on here again! Thanks for the link I will check it out. Oh by the way what brand of brakes was it that you had put on your 8 before that final fateful day & why? I am going to have to get some new brakes on mine here shortly is why I am asking.

 

Damn Ocho!! There is some really very interesting stuff there! The facts about the HEAT LOSS , I never knew that!

 

Hey guys...like Justin I was beginning to wonder where everyone went to. I check in often and except for Utah and Colorado there wasn't much going on.

Glad to see there are still some folks active...and believe it our not, one of the three actually owes an 8. Jim, when is the next AutoX?

 

Here is the schedule for Hope

Hope Schedule

So far as I know there is no date yet for the next Sagebrush run.....

 

Hawk HPS brake pads is what I installed.. I believe Tim was running the sam pads as well. I really didn't get more than 250 miles on the rotors/brakes so can't tell if I liked them better or not.. But several vendors in the forum sell them at a good deal. You can't buy them from anyone in town.. (Dealer sells parts but like 200 for each set of brake pads)

I got my rotors and pads from the RX7store but I don't recommend doing business with them.. prices are great, but **** I still have a box of complete rotors at my house from them. they screwed up and shipped me two. I have tried for several months to get them to pick them up or give me a check for shipping. So going to check with my attorney and send a notice to claim property or it will be mine type situation.

I will be heading out to the Auto X this month. Not planning on running the vette still getting use to the power. That thing can spin tires like no other.
