ROFL @ dream cruisers!! "Our CLUB has no dues and is for social events that bring people together to celebrate the joy of owning a PT CRUISER"
The joy of owning a PT cruiser?? I thought that club was more of a support group! I hope our club doesn't doesn't pass them on the road and get into an impromptu no-holds-barred speed race. I can only imagine the carnage.

"Support group", indeed. Tinny, uncomfortable (and this was a "Touring Model"!), makes the -8 look like a low-rpm torque monster in comparison. I look back at owning that car, and continually wonder,
"What the HELL was I thinking!?!"
Mazda forever, ever more...

Owings Mills 8
Just out of curiosity, anyone here live around the Owings Mills area and work off Painter's Mill Rd at T Rowe Price? I keep seeing a silver 8 with MS wing and exhaust leaving around lunchtime.

Probably. Definitely if I keep mine and get an additional.

Always fun to ride with another driver who "gets" the whole RX-8 thing.

I wish the frontend weren't so ugly. It looks really good from the back and sides. Just from the front, its looks like a little juvenile considering how sophisticated the car is. But, yeah in the grand scheme of things, that really doesn't matter. Been dreaming about making that my next car :P

yeah, who acre about looks when you consider the performance for the price. That is one of the cheapest supercars on the market. Who doesn't want one?
Anywho, backroads are the most fun (considering I have never been on a track with turns). I pushed my car to the limit today (Friday) going South then returning North on Harford Road through Baltimore county. Thought I was going to lose it 3 times!
What a blast though!
And I got a new battery today! No more jump starts.
And speaking of electrical, anyone have to fix the soldering on the temp control ****? I followed the DIY yesterday after my heater crapped out. That was terrible and made me very nervous considering my soldering skills are nonexistant. 3 little dots of solder later it works again.

Have not had to do that, knock on wood
I will probably be opening up my dash for the umpteenth time (really only the third) to fix my radio finally.
I need to redo the ground and rewire my speaker outputs to hopefully get rid of some noise. Finally will be warm enough tomorrow.
It's during times like that that your heater can crap out on you; some of the wires and connectors can come loose. read that the DIY fix seems to work for everyone though.

Passed a yellow RX-8 on Gov. Bridge road and then caught up with him again in time to follow him down St. Stephen's Church for a bit today in our new NA Miata.
Do I remember right that a yellow RX-8 showed briefly to watch the MSCW auto-x in Bowie back in October? Same person maybe?

Nah, wasn't me.
Might have been cheaper if it *had* been me, it was shopping day and I had the BEV on the road. I could have bought BHR's coil kit and two pizzas for the installation, for what I got hit with yesterday at the warehouse club and grocery store.
