Don't you hate the ones that just have to brag?! I could spin the tires on the 8 just as well as the vette...course there had to be ice or snow on the road...

See you at the AutoX...I want to get a close look at this 'toy' you have now.

 

LOL... Honestly, I just need to get a safe curb free place to see how the car feels when it spins its butt out... I miss that confidence I had knowing my 8 so well.. So practice makes perfect.. hope to see some 8 this saturday...

 

NMOcho...I have to say I agree with that logic so I withdraw my earlier comment. It was/is very easy to get confident in the capabilities and limitation of the 8. I do miss that.

See you at the Auto X!

 

I agree. And for me, for right now, the balance of these is perfect.

Unless something goes up in smoke, I'll be there Saturday. Hopefully others as well.

PS: I think that the next weekend is a Wallace Bow track day. While I'll be out of town, my understanding it that this is a good event for track time. Things are done similar to they way they where when we did the rent2race thing in that no passing and whatnot for safety. Also quite affordable at $80

Wallace Bow Event

Someday I will be making a WB event - just not this one. Still would be good to have some 8's to represent!

 

Well I am 50/50 on Sarueday's Auto X. My wife says that it is fine for me to go, I just am not to sure about leaving behind after her knee replacment surgery. I will not know for sure till just about time to leave for it. I sure hope to see everyone there!

 

I hope that everyone who was able to go to the Auto X last night had a BLAST! Unfortunately my wifes knee was not doing so well yesterday and she was not asking me to stay home (kept saying I could go), but I knew better! I hope to see all of you at the next one in September!

 

Hay Stinger, You have competition. I met someone (forgot the paper with his name.. sorry ) with a nice 2004 Yellow RX8. He will post here he says.


Anyway, hows everyone been. When are we going out for BBQ?

 

You guys should post more than just for AutoX.

 

I noticed none of you have a Custom User Title. You can change it by clicking "User CP" at he top of the page & then clicking "Edit Profile". Enter what ever you want it to display under your user name in "Custom User Title" & save changes. Just an FYI, but you probably already know this.

 

Hey Juggernaut! It sure is great to see someone else around here!

How you been Zeb? You liking your new digs of base?

I agree it sure would be great to have a get together before winter sets in! I am thinking of a drive in the mountains towards the end of Sept. 1st of Oct. to view the changing of the leaves!

 

stinger, how is that young lady of the house that had the knee work done doing? Well, I hope.

I'd suggest a trip to Chama for the fall colors in mid-Oct, but I'm afraid gas prices might be an issue. I took highway 17 from Chama to the Colorado one year - thru the pass - and the colors were really something.

Hey there stranger!!! Great to see you back in here! She is doing pretty well. She has been taking some short walks lately and actualy started to drive again, the Focus for right now because the seats are not as low as the 8's. Thanks for asking!
How is your new ride treating you? how much are you missing the 8? You know if we can get something worked out for a drive/get together, it sure would be nice to have you and Ocho along as well!

 

just wondering if someone from el paso/ft bliss is welcome here or do i need to look for a tx group?

 

You are welcome here.

Hello, nice to meet you.

 

thanks for the warm welcome. i am buying an 8 as soon as i get back from iraq. actually driving up to nm to get it. el paso dealers are really limited. i am so jazzed about it and can't wait till i can start modding it. i have a running wishlist that so far tallies about 5200.00 with stuff i can do myself.

 

I'd be up for that. But I live in Alb. where would the mountain drive be?

 

How about Sunday at 11am: Drive for BBQ like last time, then up the mountain, or where ever.

 

So, that makes two of us anyone else?

 

So are you talking about driving up to the crest? I am open for that myself, but has anyone checked the weather lately? From what I understand it is supposed to rain pretty much everyday for the next 3 days. It sure is doing one heck of a bang up job right now!!!

 

At least to get BBQ. The crest may not be a great idea, but we could drive to whats that town that we went to last time... or w/e.

 

Damn, once again I'm out of town this weekend. But someday...someday....

 

Well once again things have taken a turn around here and I am not going to be able to make tomorrow! Sorry about that everyone. Hopefully next time things will work out!

 

MadDog, I tried to drop you a PM, but your in box is full so it won't let me. Delete a few so that I can drop you a PM.

 

MadDog hasn't posted anything in the forum since July, I sent him a PM several months ago asking about turbos and nothing. MazdaManiac might be only person that knows where or what he has been doing.

 

I thought about calling his cell and I still might, but I thought I would give the forum a chance.

How is that yellow monster of yours doing NMOcho? Added anything since I saw you last at the AutoX?
