guilty as charged. at the time i thought i wouldnt be able to deal with all of the traffic i sit in to and from work, but now i regret it, so if anyone wants to trade a MT for an AT :naughty: you know who to call (like that would ever happen)

MikeTyson8MyKids 09-20-2006 08:50 PM

Ah cool baseball. I didnt wave or anything. I was undercover with my folks driving thier Volvo.

baseballgenius80 09-22-2006 08:28 AM

Black 8...or could have possibly been a Shinka pulled over on 70E in the center median past the Lindbergh exit. It was a little after 4pm yesterday...Chico, was that you?

chico elder 09-22-2006 02:06 PM

Yes sir..........It was me.

baseballgenius80 09-22-2006 02:45 PM

Sorry about that Chico, I didn't realize it in all that traffic until I was about a mile down the road. Otherwise I would have pulled over. Hope everything was/is ok.

fisherdn 09-24-2006 11:18 AM

Everything alright chico?

fisherdn 09-24-2006 11:19 AM

spotted a red 8 in kirksville, shiny and lookin good, about to have a nice upgrade

bjkicker24 09-24-2006 06:14 PM

yessir, they look great. did you have a good time this weekend?

chico elder 09-25-2006 02:53 PM

Yea guys the car was fine. I had some food poisoning so I pulled over to help them paint the lines on the highway. I puked my guts out on the highway and at home. After that I felt great.

baseballgenius80 09-25-2006 02:56 PM

Maybe I'm glad I didn't stop then Chico. Glad to hear you're feeling better.

MikeTyson8MyKids 09-25-2006 07:13 PM

Saw 2 today. Saw my twin (Black GT) on 270 at 370...passed me in the fast lane.

Other one was a red one on Mexico Rd. in St. Peters.

myfuncar 09-26-2006 07:41 AM

Yesterday, about 4:40 PM, heading west on Maryland from Brentwood in Clayton. Red with a male driver, goatee.

The Black might of been ours...hubby works right there off of Phantom Drive. He drove it yesterday so he could drop it off for the recall fix.

MikeTyson8MyKids 09-26-2006 11:26 PM

Ah cool. Mine goes in Thursday. What dealership did the recall? Did everything turn out ok?

05TiGr8Lady 09-27-2006 12:53 AM

Was in St. Louis on Monday the 25th on a business trip and parked next to a VR 8 with appearance package. It was in the parking lot of a building that was part Fireman's Fund and part Boeing. Not sure of the address, but it was in Earth City, kitty-corner to a gas station with a McDonalds and a Residence Inn.

I was totally lost and it ended not being the building I was supposed to be in, but hey, I thought I'd say Hi!

fisherdn 09-27-2006 09:05 AM

Yesterday was Shinka day apparently. I spotted a purple one, or whatever the correct name is, and a white one. I thought the purple was Chico at first, but it definitely wasn't.
Both cars driving on Jamieson ave, purple in morning, white in late afternoon

baseballgenius80 09-27-2006 02:21 PM

Get it straight fisher...black cherry, not purple...gosh!!! lol

MikeTyson8MyKids 09-27-2006 02:54 PM

Like anyone could possibly know that...... :mdrmed:

We went to Bommarito in St. Peters. The reprogrammed the PCM and replaced the spark plugs. I can't believe the difference in the car. It seems to have much more power. They cleaned it inside and out, plus filled the almost empty tank. I was happy with the service.

terretsboy 09-27-2006 07:26 PM

How many miles do you have on your car? I'm at about 17,500 and I didn't notice any difference after the reflash. I am wondering if you had more buildup in your engine. Do you redline it every once in a while to clean out carbon buildup?

MikeTyson8MyKids 09-27-2006 10:41 PM

Cool. Thats where I will be dropping mine of tomorrow morning. I've always had great service there too. I'm at 11,000 miles now. Since its in there, I'll have them do a diff and tranny fluid change also.

Cant wait to get mine back :)

MikeTyson8MyKids 09-28-2006 06:24 PM

Got mine back. Engine good. Cat good. Didnt need new plugs either. Flashed and on my way.

Got to the dealer on time. Didnt have a car ready for me. Waited for a half hour while they tried to find a CX-7, didnt happen. Waited longer until the Enterprise guy showed up at his normal time (not his fault), and got a rental Cobalt! Woowooo! Was late to work. That sucked.

Usually Bommarito in St. Peters has GREAT service...they dropped the ball this time. Was really surprised.

baseballgenius80 09-29-2006 10:00 AM

Last night at about 7pm, passed a Red 8 (snowboarder, I think) in Shiloh, IL at Green Mount and Frank Scott Pkwy. Gave a wave, not sure if you saw me.

I am dropping my 2004 with 48.5K miles off on Wednesday at St. Peters. Funny thing, I received a postcard from them offering to buy mine back at KBB.

I spotted you first Phil. I flashed my brights at you, and waved. I saw you wave back :)

Eight looked good you stud!

baseballgenius80 10-04-2006 09:00 AM

Thanks snowboarder, I do what I can. My g/f asked..."Do you know that guy or something?" and I went into deep explanation of what an awesome guy you are and how nice your car is to match (free ego boost, lol).

tjtull 10-04-2006 02:44 PM

I usually see a Titanium Gray RX-8 parked at the Memorial Station Metro Link. I also drive a Ti-gray 8. Recently had some body work done, thanks to a rear bumper accident.

TKE Tails 10-05-2006 11:16 PM

Every single day I ride the Metro-Stank downtown and see this Ti Grey RX-8 parked backwards in the $2 a day lot just south of 40. It looks good. WHO ARE YOU???????

Bommarito buy back

It actually reads " TOP DOLLAR Using Kelley Blue Book Fair Trade In Value*"

To me their "Fair" means KBB fair condition price NOT a fair price for what the car is really worth.

"Fair Trade in Value" on my loaded 04 w/ 7k miles is $16795.00 THEN in the fine print they can take off even more value for equipment failure, body damage, reconditioning cost........

Are you tempted? :)

TKE Tails 10-10-2006 10:40 PM

Red one on 70E just as we neared the wreck at 7:50 am this morning.

WaterLogged 10-11-2006 12:21 AM

Probably me... running late to work again. Didn't see you, but caught a red one headed westbound on 70 near Mid Rivers.

baseballgenius80 10-11-2006 08:24 AM

Passed a Blue 8 this morning about 7:15 on 64W in Illinois. The 8 followed directly behind me until I got on the MLK Bridge and she split off to the Poplar. Looked pretty good!

What looked good, car or driver ;)

...or both.

MikeTyson8MyKids 10-13-2006 07:53 PM

Red at Mexico Road and Knaust.

tjtull 10-20-2006 02:50 PM

Ti-Grey IL 157 and IL 161, Oct 19th. Caught you coming off he exit ramp from 157.

baseballgenius80 10-22-2006 03:35 PM

Keep seeing titanium grey 8 on my way home from work on 70E around 4:30pm. "GOT2 ZM", nice plates

starsky1231 10-22-2006 08:35 PM

That would be my wife in ours. Thanks for the compliment on the plates. Surprised you could see the grey streak.

baseballgenius80 10-23-2006 09:26 AM

I just wondered if that 8 was even on the forum. She seems to ignore me when we pass each other. So I wasn't sure, plus the windows are so dark it is hard to tell.

starsky1231 10-23-2006 09:34 AM

I think she has mentioned seeing your car a couple of times. She is usually on the fly in the afternoon.

baseballgenius80 10-23-2006 12:12 PM

Take the lead out of that boot...however, I'm guilty of it too. That car just begs to go faster than the law allows.

myfuncar 10-23-2006 01:02 PM

Saw a white with aero package today turning north onto Bretnwood at Clayton Rd, about 7:35 AM. Car looks great in white. Looks great in any color, actually.

baseballgenius80 10-24-2006 06:36 PM

Blue 8 on Green Mount crossing over I64 at about 5:25pm (guy with short red hair and beard)
White 8 on Frank Scott Parkway sitting at the Green Mount intersection at about 5:30pm (driver was on their cell, that's all I caught...I was too busy drifting through the turn)

baseballgenius80 10-31-2006 12:51 PM

Spotted a black 8 yesterday afternoon about 3:35pm on west bound on State St. in O'Fallon, IL.

Spotted a titanium 8 this morning just before 8am on I70 westbound. I believe it was your car Starsky by the plates. Wife on her way to work I guess.

baseballgenius80 11-01-2006 12:40 PM

Saw a red 8 yesterday on my way home from work that was heading westbound on I70 around the Earth City Expwy exit at about 4:30pm. I believe it was you, Waterlogged.

Also saw a black 8 yesterday a little after 5pm, eastbound on I64 close to the 157 exit. Thanks for letting me cut in by the way.

Looks like I'm the only one spotting 8's lately.
