I saw you too, I couldn't for the life of my think of who it was, so is it still running well? How have things been? Thanks for the compliments, much appreciated.

You definatley need to come out to the next meet, we NEED a Nordic Green 8!

 

Check it out, I'm now an official post ***** with over 1,000 posts. Wait that's not an accomplishment

 

AKA. . . No life!

 

Kinda, but 99% of those posts are made from work. Monday through Friday 7:30-5:00.

 

I think I can cut everyone's post count by deleting this thread, muhahahaha!





No worries, just kidding!

 

Today I saw a SS on 56th West, going south at 4100 so. Didn't recognize the driver. Looked mostly stock from the few seconds I had to watch it.


Anybody?

 

hiya fellas. havent been on for a couple days. I'm down here in Long Beach again and I'm loving it! I feel like I should just leave the 8 hear. Its so happy lol.

About the "not pulling you over fro fron plate" thing. IVE been pulled over for that and nothing else. It was a highway patrolman. He already had someone pulled over and there was a lot of traffic, but for whatever reason when I passed he booked it after me just to pull me over and give me a warning about needing a front plate. i played dumb and said i wasnt sure if it was an actual law or not and he gave me a warning. Crazy huh?

Before I came down here I got an oil change a LHM chrysler/jeep (I bought my car there and get free oil changes and safety/emissions for 3 years). I drove straight from there over to southtowne mall and when i got back in my car the engine light came on. So I went back to have them check it out. They claimed nothing about the oil would set off an engine light but the diagnostic test said i was running Lean. uh oh, girlfriend is calling. to be continued...

 

(preview for Dallins next thread) "...but when I got home I had smoke coming from my engine bay..." and mazda finds the source of my engine light. Stay tuned!

 

I have a sad story about oil changes... about 6 months after i got my car i took it to jiffy lube to get its 2nd oil change... most of the guys there were just messing around not paying attention to what they were doing.... so as they were pulling my car in they were also backing up a truck in ... BAMMMM!!!! they hit my car... I was PISSSS!!!!!!!!!! long story short the manager was great about the situation, did not charge me for the oil change and of course they fixed my car.... althoug that front bumper has never look the same... the guy who fix it said that V-red was a really hard color to match...

 

Jiffy Lube? Jiffy Lube?

That's the saddest (and weirdest) story I've heard all day!

 

Man, your life has been quite the adventure lately! Hope you find out what's going on with the 8 real soon. Found gainfull employment yet?

 

JT, if you still have extra pre-mix, I would like to buy a couple of more quarts from you. I haven't had a chance to order any, and I only have 1 left. Let me know, I am going to order some next week, but if I could 2 from you that would be cool.

 

man o man what a work week. I havent been on here in like four days now haha.

 

Sure Dave, I can spare a bottle or two. But I'm really busy on Suday, might have to catch up with you on Monday if that's OK.

You must drive that car a lot! Since our meet at Iggy's, I've only driven about a tank and a half in the 8- about 8 or 9 ounces of premix.

Of course, I've driven the Explorer about five or six tank's worth...and it gets the same mileage as the 8!

 

There was a clean, gray 8 parked behind the Beans N Brews coffee shop on 3500 so. & 3600 w. today. It pulled-out and went west on 3500 so. at 5:45 pm.

Anybody?

 

Ive been off work since last Wednesday. I am recarpeting one of 3 sets of stairs in the house, but noticed that I needed to repaint the stairwell first, but then I noticed that I needed to re-do some molding and drywall before that...so now here it is, midnight on Saturday and I'm only just now ready to install the carpet! And I have to go back to work on Monday! Going to get up early to do the carpet because as soon as that's done, I have to drive over to my mom's and try and fix a chair of hers.

It's been the busiest 4 days off I can remember in a long time.

At least your week was for pay, Tim...mine cost me!

 

My wife got a new job and she drives it everyday! I fill up atleast once a week, depending on weekend cruises! I have school on Monday evening, but I usually get out about 7:00, it is in North Salt Lake near to your work. If you are there until 5 pm I could possible meet you there! Let me know, and Thanks

 

bose I will definitely be at the next meet as long as it doesnt fall on a weekend that I work. The car is running fine. I have put about 3k miles on it since getting the new engine and I am hoping that there is no more drama with it. If I wasnt still in school I would be putting alot more time effort and money into mods, but sadly this will have to wait for the greater good.

Does anyone know where i can get a good premix bottle or what works well as one?

 

oh and darius i read about your job and all the crap thats going on... Im sorry to hear about it all. Hope things get sorted out soon for you. best of luck. We need to kick it some time.

 

I've been giving away these little 4-ounce plastic squeeze bottles; if I have one left, you can have it.

 

I'll be gone from work by 3:30. Maybe we can just meet somewhere Monday night. Jordan Landing maybe? Isn't that close to your house?

My wife has her little Subaru. She's only ever driven my 8 once in two years. Better for the marriage that way...

 

Awesome! Thanks JT. Let me know if you still have one and I can pick it up whenever.

 

Maybe we can meet tomorrow night when/if I deliver Dave's premix at Jordan Landing?

 

I passed a VR on 3600 west today, just north of 4100 so. The VR was going north, I was going south, time about 1:15 pm.

Couldn't tell for sure in the rear-view mirror, but it looked like an after-market exhaust.

Anybody?

 

Yeah that would definitely work for me. Just let me know when/if you are going to be there. Thanks!
