Utah Anybody???
 

Anybody from UTAH???

I am moving to South Jordan..

Anybody?? :)

Re: Utah Anybody?
 

Absolutely.

You'll only be a few minutes drive from me, along the Bangerter Highway. I'm in West Valley (the old "Granger" area). I've got a new '07 RX-8 in Sunlight Silver. You?

Welcome, neighbor!

hello neighbor back!

i will be attending a pharmacy school at southern jordan..

got a 04 GT MT Titanium Grey.. thinking about selling it because of the weather.. how's yours holding up?? any good mazda dealerships??

how's life over there?? I am from San Diego by the way..

Good dealerships
 

Unfortunately the closest dealership to me isn't my first choice. You may be closer to where I bought mine, Legacy Mazda in the city of Orem, about a 20-minute drive south of where you will be living. There is also Bountiful Mazda, which is close to where I work, north of Salt Lake county. My last choice is D. Dahle Mazda, which is the most centrally located dealership in the Salt Lake valley. They are smaller than the other two and are currently undergoing an expansion, lots of gravel and dust right now. Almost no parking.

I just got my RX-8 last month, just barely 1,000 miles on it. I don't commute in it- I drive my faithful old Explorer to work. The roads are just too terrible to drive a nice sports car on a daily commute. Much road construction along my route right now. There is no-way I will drive my 8 in snow- way too squirrely with those wide tires and all that high-end power. And here they use a lot of salt on the roads so rust will set-in fast if you drive in winter. And the sand they use will pit your paint, windshield and headlight lenses. The 4WD Explorer or our Subaru Forester are our winter/commuter cars.

I used to own a (brand-new) 1980 RX-7 and just loved it. Sold it to become a responsible member of society, start a career (I'm probably much older than you if you are still in school). It's been in the back of my mind all these years and when I paid-off my mortgage this past winter, I decided it was time to get another rotary rocket.

Snow today, you'd think it was still winter! You have quite a change in store for you from San Diego- but the area is really nice, don't listen to the mormon stories. They are good people and you CAN have a great time here.

BTW- Don't sell it if you can help it! You'll regret it. We have a good mass-transit system, expanding all the time. Keep the 8!!!

sorry about high jacking the thread but have you guys seen my thread just below about mazda days at miller motr sports park? please read it and let me know if you plan on coming out. If you want to come then get me your info and I can get you 2 for 1 passes.

We've already emailed each other about it, yodaddy, and I'm going to try and be there. I think Balboa hasn't moved up here from San Diego just yet. -JT

Hi Thanks for all your tips ... really appreciated..

haha i have never seen falling snow in my life.. man am i in for a suprise...

yea i won't be there until end of august..

Buy a snowboard and/or skiis...remember the center console in the rear seat opens to accomodate long stuff.

this is a little old but JT i think i've seen you around. im also from the granger area.

What do you drive? I'm still around. Join our local club:

There are actually two other Silver 8's in the Granger area, so you may or may not have seen me.

But mine is the best looking. ;)

a red 8. im usually driving around a lot. if you were by the valley fair mall area today i saw a silver 8 driving by there.

I drove the Explorer today, wasn't me. But one of our members works at the mall and he drives a silver 8 also. He usually parks in the east lot at the mall.
Mine has ASA AR1 wheels, his has stockers.

I see several red 8's in the area. I did follow one this afternoon, eastbound on 39th south, and it then turned north on 27th west and headed toward the mall. If that was you, I was about 200 feet behind you. I continued west on 39th, was headed home.

silver. that should be dong right? hey. i just notice under your DP, it saysing eyeing little girls. lol

Dong works at the mall and parks in the east lot, so that's probably him.

"Eyeing Little Girls" is a line from a Jethro Tull song. I'm guessing that you are probably much younger than me, and listen to different music, lol.

Just a guess... ;)

We'd love to meet you and have you join our local club. Some of us are going to attend the Vegas meet in May and will probably caravan down. I went this year and had a blast!

Yep, very first Rotary and I love her! People think it's "my boyfriend's ride" but that's another story completely lol! I will definitely go register on SLCRX8.com for sure! I already have a killer busy weekend or I would so come out Saturday! When will your next meet be???

Sometime in January. We meet monthly. Cruises will start up again in March or April.

Hey, did you and I meet at the liquor store parking lot a few months ago?

Not sure???

Where do you guys cruise at I'm all the way out here in the Ogden Area :/ but i sure would come down to cruise with ya guys {;

We take different routes just about every time. We've done a few in your area, Ogden and Weber canyons, even cruised to Idaho for lunch and lottery tickets. We have several members from Ogden. We'd love to meet you if you can attend this Saturday's Christmas party/December meet. Come on down, have some fun, and maybe win a prize in the raffle!
