I think I'll call him up.

After reading the last post by THM I remember going to an s2ki meet at Qdoba in schaumburg when i had my black Si. My black si that i sold because it never drove the same after ithad been in that accident.

I remember one of your guys came out in his silver RX8 with your logo on it. The guy was totally down to earth and I respected that. I was talking with him and he showed me his car, I thought it was awesome- I had to have it so I eventually bought the RX-8.

Sorry i'm not being super specific but i just can't remember his name. I suck at names.

Upgrading to the RX8 was definately the right move for me. I'll swing by sometime.

hey,

ha ha small world...yeah that was us!!! and yes that was my silver rx8 and our other silver s2k that we had logos on it!!!

welcome to the rx8 family!!!

hit me up if anything!!



Adam

Hey Mark - yeah, he has a speed 6 (which comes with Potenzas similar to our OEM), so he does have AWD on his side (you met him at the Sycamore meet - he was parked next to me and Al) I'm just helping him with his tire decision, and right now it's between Pirellis, Kumhos, and Continentals. Thanks for your input, guys. Any other thoughts from anyone else are welcome.

He should be fine with the AWD and ultra high performance all seasons. I would say look at test results and reviews at tirerack.com.

Hey, to the Nov 21st meet crew: once you get the location/time all set, PM me and I'll get it posted in the Chicago Meets thread.

Just getting around to answering all the PMs now (sorry, I've been so horrible at that this fall!)

So We're meeting at THM and cruising to RAM.

I'm thinking 6:30 meetup, cruise at 7:00 Sharp?
