I also spotted a blue 8 with a spoiler and fender strakes at laclede and big bend heading towards clayton this morning at 8:40. I waved , but I don't know if you saw me through the tint.

I have a passport 8500 too, and have only been pulled over about my front license plate. Do you live out that way? I live off Jamieson by Mom's Deli

I'm at laclede and 44 where I'm assuming you saw me pull off. I forgot you told me about that install. I can't believe they've pulled you over for the plate! You get a ticket for that?

No it was the week after I licensed the car and hadn't bolted on the bracket yet. He let me off. It was out in Ballwin where I used to live where the cops have nothing to do.... I'd love to take that bracket off now, hmmmmm. I have several friends in the Georgetown apartments by laclede and 44

I'm living on Kenrick Parke off of Kenrick manner. I'm not sure where the Georgetown apts are but I think they are right down the road.

Holy RX8 spotting ! I was heading out to the casino and I saw 4 8's. One heading south on 270 at 6:30ish (Red) and 3 more going north (one Yellow with ... uh... interesting skull and flame stickers and asian driver, one blue with what I think were aftermarket rims and an older driver, and one Red)

Unfortunately I was doing about 80 in a honduh civic (gas is getting to f**king expensive and its a 50 mile round trip out there) and it doesn't exactly stop or steer as well as the 8 so due to a rare moment of caution I didn't wave.

I think I set a new record!

Spotted two this morning.

- At about 8am, a red 8 heading east on I-70, just east of 270.
- At about 9am, a silver 8 with rear spoiler and no tint heading east on I-70, east of St. Peters.

The red was me on 70. Actually I usually see you about once a week on 70 on the way to work.

I thought that might have been you, but I didn't catch the plate. Well, it was a pleasure passing by. Had to drop the 8 off at Bommarito. Last week it was in at Auffenberg for the check engine light. Ended up that was due to a bad seal on the gas cap. Took them two days to figure that out. Then, when I got it back, the airbag light won't quit flashing. When I turn on the car, it flashes then stays on permanently. I'm tired of dealing with Auffenberg, who refused to give me a rental car which is part of the warranty, so giving Bommarito a chance. So far so good.

Bommarito gave me a brand new Cadillac CTS as a loaner, can't complain.

I had a choice between a Rio and an Aveo. LOL

I always make fun of Kia's, so I had to try the Rio.

I saw a winning blue by the animal hospital in webster groves at laclade and 44 at about 6:05. He let me into the road from a back road (hows that for 8 hospitality?). I also saw a red 8 going south on 270, but I assume its the same one as before and he/she won't even see this.

I also saw a white one with spoiler in my neighborhood (Kenrick Manor) a couple of days ago.

I've always asked for a Caddy but the guy said "you pull up with a Caddy, you get a Caddy." But c'mon... it's not like we pulled up in a Mazdaspeed Protege or anything. (for you chico)

Hey! That was me!
I was gonna be stuck at the light before the highway anyway, and I don't see many 8's around... Like that Ti gray. Nice looking car.

Beers!
