Oh, man, I'm so sorry to hear that you're giving up the 8. No way to swing a second, part-time job?

Just out of curiosity, what are you asking for it? How many miles? Condition?

 

i dont know maybe around 20,000 it has 32,000 miles its in great condition

 

I just got my 8 yesterday, right now it's stock to the bone but I 'effing love it. It's so much more fun than my 02 protege. So if you see a long haired kid driving a silver '04, say hi.

 

^^bose, where abouts are you? I'm in Granger (West Valley), you might see me in my silver '07 once in a while. Former long-haired kid now short gray haired middle-aged guy with white goatee.

We've been trying to get the locals together at a restaurant or coffee shop for a while, so-far only Darius Demon and I have met.

 

You should get it listed if you are serious about selling it. There are a lot of used 8's on the market right now and I've seen prices on '04's down as low as $13,500. Do you owe money on it?

Man, my heart is just busting for your loss. I remember when I had to sell my RX-7 back in '81. It was like having to put my dog to sleep.

 

I am up in Sandy, I think it would be killer if we could get a large group of us to go cruise around, Let me know when you guys are meeting next. I wanna come.

 

Where at in Sandy? I live about 20th east and 8200 south. i drive a black one

 

Tonight I saw what appears to be a Copper Red Shinka, '06 perhaps, parked in front of a house on 3600 West, at about 48th or 49th so.

Anybody?

(The more I see this color, the more I like it...)

 

Another Silver spotted today.

Northbound I-215, at about 7th north at 3:50 pm. Looked like a clone of my car!

Anybody?

 

I saw another black one today in draper. That you Kobe? By the way Seriouscoin, FYI my 8 is an 05' and I bought it with 19k miles for 19k dollars two months ago. Problem with 8's is they depreciate crazy fast. Oh and I'm in Sandy too 114th and like 2700e but yeah we should definitely try and do another meet before it snows!....again.

 

I would like to get a meet going.. but maybe somewhere between Sandy and Ogen. I live in Roy and sandy is far from me.. But lets get something going.

 

KOBE im just by the new home depot and alta canyon. 2015 east about 10000 south.

Took a drive up big cottonwood canyon sunday around 6, and saw a great looking charcol 8 going up as I was heading down, any takers there.

 

Maybe we could meet somewhere in Bountiful- it would be a good compromise for folks living far north and south. Or maybe by the airport?

A restaurant would be nice.

 

im just going to post it either way im going to have to eat some of the cost, i do owe on it. i have a guy wanting to buy it for 18k but well see

 

Do you have to sell it as soon as possible? Being in a hurry to sell will probably lower your eventual sales price...

 

Im down to meet in bountiful. Or we can do some local canyon runs. Im new to the area so I would need to meet people and follow to the canyon... But the bountiful place would be good for me to meet as well.. Maybe this Sunday not too much traffic would make a great drive.

 

well i would rather sell it before snow gets really bad. that would be fun drifting tho ha ha.

 

Nah that wasnt me in draper. im up to meet up with you guys. but yeah hopefully before it snows. I saw a blue on down in PG today

 

its really not that bad in the snow, i just got snow tires put on it and if you've driven in the snow before, its really no problem, just gotta be more careful than normal.

 

Saw that silver one again yesterday, Utah plate 314 MME. Anybody?

I broke-down and drove my 8 to work today since weekend weather is forecast to be crap. If Sunday is dry I might be convinced to take it out if everyone can agree on a place to meet.

 

Saw a blue RX-8 today, maybe an '04 or '05, in front of the American Express building, turning west into a subdivision. The driver was a young guy in a hoodie...looked like a gangsta wannabe. Anybody???

 

I saw a guy in a yellow one yesterday getting off on 5600s in Roy.. Anybody.

BTW. are we going to meet this sunday for a drive or what?

Oh next question. I am currently using T1R tires on some 5zigen Rims.. I want to put my stocks back on for the snow weather. Will they work ok in the snow?

 

I can't answer that. I bought my '07 in March- and won't be driving it in the snow. It's spending the winter in the garage and only coming-out for occassional warm-ups when it's clear and dry. I'll be bored in the Explorer from November through the end of February.

But I've read many posts that with all-season treads you should be OK, as long as you don't try to drive in 6" of snow and take it easy.

I'm OK for Sunday if it's not too far...pick a place...

 

Yea, thats just it.. I dont know if the oe tires are all season or not... If i remember correctly i dont think they are. but if so I would be happy..

 

^I have the OE Dunlops and they are most definitely NOT an all-season tire.
I've been thinking of buying a second set anyway, long before the Dunlops wear out. On the "Tires for Life" program, you have to get 25,000 miles on them before you get a new set, and I've never heard of anybody getting more than about 20,000 on them. So I may get a second set when they start to wear and then put them back on when I get close to 25,000 miles, so I can get the free set. What a pain and extra expense, though.
