8 passed me on hwy270 in STL

An 8 pulled up next to me on HWY 270 going south in STL tonight(about 10pm). I was just curious if it was anyone from the board.

Did he pass you in the fast lane with tinted windows, i think it was me. About 10 - 10.30

You got a borla sticker on the back left rear window, right?

yep, lol. That was me for sure. I figured it was someone from the forum. BTW, me and a couple other people from STL were talking about meeting up some time. Going out for some drinks or something.

EDIT: 91vert told me it was probably you.

And you didnt want to race? HaHa. Also where did you pick up your borla from and how much? I am really considering getting an exhaust system but not sure which one. Drinks? Sounds great, we might have to wait untell September, im still a young one. It is always fun tho try though.

I got my borla from socalmotorsports. The guys name is john 714-724-7978. It cost $560 or $570 delivered. If you buy it, it is pretty simple to put on. Just a little patience. I would be glad to help ya if ya want.

As far as drinks go, you could either get nice fake id, or we could go somewhere like hooters where there is some nice scenery for ya.

BTW, you better be careful on that stretch of 270. I have been ticketed there before. Cops love to sit on the ramp at dourghty ferry.

Fake worked at the lake. It looks pretty good, time for some drinks. Also on the way down their i made awsome time. I made it from St. Charles to Lake of the Ozarks in 2 hours. Traffic was really lite.

Also how did you do at rev it up. I was really close to going but it was to expensive. Also i was going to do the auto cross in st. louis that sunday. Have you tride ever doing that, its a blast and the 8 is perfect for it.

I'll be there for sure, but they moved the event back one week to May 23. I'll have to look in the rules for what class you'll be in.

If it is the 23rd I will try to be there as well. I used to autox a civic and my dads old vette and really want to do it in the 8, but was gonna be gone on the 15th, but will be around on the 23rd. Hopefully I will have my car crystal guarded by then.

Well I dont think I will be able to race since I am on a restricted driving license right now so I guess you could say I dont have a valid license, but I will still show up. I can only drive to school and work so I will just say I am going to work, trying to sell crystal guard.

Hi guys. I've seen some 8's lately. This is encouraging that we have few in STL area. Thought I will be one of the very few fricks that like this car in our area.
Hope to see more in the future and we need to find a day in which all the 8's will be together going in aline all over 270. What say you?
