I saw you passing the Boeing building by the airport last week. I was northbound, driving my Explorer. My 8 is mostly a weekend car only.

 

There's a gray RX8 & sometimes a beater FB RX7 parked in front of the Pep Boys on 35th so. in West Valley. Seen it too many times to be a customer there, must be an employee. Cal plates on the 8.

Anybody?

 

I've seen that gray 8 with cali plate as well, I have seen him in several places, so I can't really pin down where they live.

 

I got a good look at the gray 8 yesterday. Quite a few door dings and not kept clean, at least not when I've seen it. Might have an aftermarket exhaust but the pipes are totally black with soot.

BTW, my 8 turned one year old on Monday. Still NOT ONE door ding! Just a few tiny paint chips on the nose. The noses of these cars sure take a beating. I may put the mask back on there once it warms up.

I'm off to Seattle for a few days, talk to you guys when I get back next weekend.

 

Yeah the nose takes a beating.

I'm sick of this weather. It needs to stay nice so I car wash my friggin car and it stay clean.

 

I'm back from Seattle. Got to meet 05TiGr8Lady! Terrific, beautiful, gracious, intelligent lady.

I also got a heckuva chest cold and am just wiped-out tonight. I hope it doesn't last long.

Tonight I noticed a SS 8 going west on 54th south & about 3200 west- and it had a big sheet-metal wrinkle just ahead of the drivers-side front side vent. Anybody? Looked like a young guy driving.

I'll post some of the camera-phone shots I took on my trip when I feel better. Hurts to even breathe right now. Think I'll go sit in my 8, that'll make me feel better.

 

Hey JT, thanks! It was a blast meeting you too!

Ugh... sorry you got sick. D'ya think it was related to the stomache thing? Hope you feel better soon.

If you're gonna post camera pics, pleez don't do the one of me... pleez...

 

^^I'm beginning to think that the stomach pain may in fact have been the first symptom, so the good people at the Mad Crab are off the hook, lol. Last night my fever peaked and after some drenching sweats I felt like I just might pull-through this morning. Spent most of the day medicated and napping on the couch with my cat keeping me company...after a drive in my 8 this morning, of course!
No worries on the photo, although for the life of me I can't figure out why beautiful women are so self-conscious about photos of themselves...

 

Glad to hear you're doing better! And thanks

 

We just bought a 2006 Shinka from ken garf volvo in draper.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
We live in orem........

 

Pulled up next to a girl in a SS today at the bank. I didn't roll down my window and say anything because I was in my old Explorer. If I told her I had a car just like hers, she'd be thinking "what a liar!" lol. She had a baby in an infant seat in back, and her license plate said DEMOGRL. When she left the bank, I last saw her going south on Redwood road & 4700 so. Anybody?

 

Ok yeah I'm I'm here haha! Guess what happened today though? Sumb dumbass in a WRX pulled right into me while I was passing him in the turn lane. Guess he changed his mind about going straight and without warning or a blinker or anything just smacked me. Damage wasnt too bad just a little scratched and dented on the front left fender. Good part is I messed up the weather guard in the wheel well a few months ago when I hit a rabbit doing 90mph. So at least I can blame that on the accident and get it fixed for free :D He also scratched up my rim so I should be getting reinbursed for that too. (I'm thinking about buying all new rims though, "wheel" see...haha wheel...)

 

That's sh!tty darius, at least it's nothing too terrible, you and another utah forum member both got hit. bad luck.

Anyone do any mods this winter? I did a couple, intake exhaust, tint, painted my emblems black, and painted my engine cover. All very clean looking IMHO.

 

You know me, Mr. Stock.

No performance mods until the extended warranty expires- only 95, 300 miles to go! lol.

 

Hey, Big D, I was wondering where you've been. Too bad about the fender bender, that definitely sucks.

What have you been up to lately?

 

I wish I could be satisfiyed with that but everything I do just HAS to be custom for my whole life I've been like this.

 

Think of it this way, bose:

There are 162,000 8's with tinted windows.
There are 73,000 8's with that same custom exhaust.
There are 3,600 8's with blacked-out emblems.

"Custom" is a relative term.

Man, am I a party pooper, or what?

 

that sucks man, i got hit like 2 weeks ago, some girl turned right into me when i was at a stop sign, $3500 dollars in damage. i should get my car back tomorrow though. i get a new bumper, fender, and headlight, plus they're going to refinish my hood so no more rock chips for me!!

 

I bought this last week, still have and love my RX8 though

2008 Alpine White BMW Z4 3.0si Roadster

 

Yo guys whats up, goin to pick up my 8 tonight! should be pretty sick, just got out of a 04 Pontiac GTO. goin with an 8 now, pretty stoked.

 

Welcome to the fold, CDUBYAZ! If we meet this weekend, be sure to join us. Keeping our fingers crossed that the rain/snow predicted for Thursday will be over with by Saturday.

 

There's a grey '04 for sale, on 3200 west, just about a block south of Lancer Way. Seller wants $16,500 and it has a cracked windshield. No idea how many miles. Looks like it's due for registration in April- he probably doesn't want to buy that new windshield so he can pass inspection.

 

Yeah for sure! Hey just outta curiousity who are the best techs around here to go to for getting work done on 8's?

 

Welcome brother. Best tech's unfortunatly are going to be Mazda, but there is so much info on here, you may not even need them.

Jethro thanks for that bud!

J/K I know custom is relative, but with those it makes it feel more like mine. i don't know maybe I just like spending money.

 

I'm married so my wife spends money for me. Man, does she spend money...
