Hey Al, happy birthday! Hope it was "mostly harmless!"

Did you get any parts for the 8 for your birthday?

 

Thanks,I killed 3 beers. Does that count?

Yes, my wife asked me what I wanted for a present. I had her order H&R springs. They were to arrive on Friday, but UPS wanted a signature. They will have to wait till Monday.

 

Grrr! Arrg!

How's this for an avatar then?

 

Now if I can just figure out the whole AIM thing.

 

What, you didn't like any of the ones I sent you? Hehehehe....

 

It's not that I didn't like them, but I don't know if they represented the perfect "unique identifier" for me. But I appreciate the help.

And opening that e-mail at work was a bad idea.

Where did you learn to eat a banana like that?

 

And for the record, my title has nothing to do with any other local 8 drivers.

 

^^^
There are other local Evolv members who can't claim that. But I won't name names.

 

RSD,

You should add, "Ocasional Red Baron Copilot" to you sig.

Ranger is lucky. Stinky can't even see over the door sill!

 

^^^
That's classic, I just referred to the Red Baron in the Ranger picture thread.

 

Thank goodness, otherwise we might think you were crazy too. But no worries!

 

I did!

Thanks for letting me know about the Ranger thread

 

I duct tape my cat to the grill when I go out for a cruise.

 

Howdy, y'all!

Just returned from a 5000 mile drive to the west coast and back!! Passed through Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and North Dakota.

REX performed beautifully!! (i know...every other 8 owner calls their car "rex")

Got pulled over twice...but only one ticket.

My vote for most beautiful state in the US: MONTANA

Looking forward to meeting you guys at the BBQ on the 22nd.

Sounds cool Saxon. I took the Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle through all of those states. It is very scenic. What did you do in Washington. I lived in Seattle for a few years, so if you made it out there, I am interested in konwing how things are out there.

Sakura-chan is jeolous of REX as she has only gone to Wisconsin thrice.

I forget, do you live up here near Lincoln Square?

 

Actually, my destination was Eugene, Oregon (relatives live there); so I was just passing through Washington state briefly.

REX turned 12 on this trip! (12,000 miles in 5 months). In late March, I had done another long drive to Virginia (other relatives), through NYC (another cousin), up to Boston (friends there), and back to Chicago. (A mere 2600 miles, that one). So I've touched the waters of both the Atlantic and the Pacific in three months.

Car has been smoooooth and reliable the whole way.

I think REX and Sakura-chan are twins, yes? (both 2005 Shinkas)

Re Lincoln Square: I live in River North, near the Merchandise Mart.

See you at the BBQ.

 

I call mine "Roxy"

 

Uhhh...the car, right?

 

Saxon,

You got me beat. I am coming up on 14K, but I have only had mine for nine months.

Does the 987 in your handle represent REX's production number?

What kind of mileage are you getting under normal driving, and what kind do you get when you do these trips?

 

And yes, REX and Sakura-chan are twins. Sakura-chan is Number 968.
