the autokrats meet was Lame-o, a lot of people showed up, but I felt like a juvenile delinquet ( a bunch of kids running from the cops!!) We got no love out there, the bacon came pouring in and shooed us out. No Bueno! It was nice to see a few 8's out there!!

 

yea...it was ******' lame. i just ended up going to a bar...

 

That's terrible yall didnt have fun. People were actually running away from cops? any video?.. :-D

 

any local people want to buy a set of tein type S spring for the 8 i will sell it for 140.00 $

 

ditto on that, I thought I'd be the young guy there, guess not...
seeing a couple of 8's together did made me smile, though... The last few meets sounded like fun, I don't know what happened here. Really, isn't there just a damn parking lot someplace where we wouldn't be bothered?

-Andrew

 

mel and andrew...you guys coming out tomorrow (Sunday 11/20) to Fuddrucker's??

 

The meeting was pretty good.. alot of information shared.. greet meeting new faces and people having fun..

Even though i wish those of you who told me yall were goin to meet me at white marsh would have told me yall didnt want to come out. :-D

 

Coker,

I apologize, but I got rear-ended and had bigger fish to fry, so try to be a little understanding!!

 

Man your 8 got rear ended?? That sucks dude, bet you just felt like crying...I hate that feeling. Im guessing you already had your kit on?? that sucks even more...its like why couldnt it have happened to the old bumper right

 

i sorry Coke i think i did use the words "if i can make it" but thats nitpicking i ended up working most of the morning and after the 18 hrs on saturday was just beat i usually keep to my word so dont hold it against me too much

 

Its cool.. sorry to hear about ya accident msjackson.. hope you are ok...

and Balkjz.. i understand.. i should have been more clear.. I dont want ya goin to sleep on the road or anything..

Well on the rx7 forum they are thinkin of throwing a bbq and a garage sale this spring. But its still in the air.. cuz i'm pretty sure yall have some stuff yall want to get rid of.

 

New to the club, but comin up on my car's first b-day. If you see a brilliant black w/ chrome fuel door, app. package, etc. in the Gaithersburg area that's probably me. For all of you Gaithersburg folks, I'm a manager at a local health club if anyone wants a free day or two to check it out.

 

Ms. Jackson, just out of curiosity, where was your lunch w/ the assclown & whatnot? It sounds like my setting but not like something I'd ever say. My sincerest apologies if it was me. I doubt it though. I would've thanked you & definately given props for the car. The only comment I've ever gotten from a female about the 8 is either that it is "cute" or "Is that a Mazda?". Thus, I would've taken notice. Just in case you think it was me...not gay

 

lol, I was just being sarcastic.....My lunch was in Arundel mills at Panera Bread.

I have the chrome fuel door as well, looks really sharp with the wheels and mirrored window tint I have.

As far as my rear end (on the car that is...) The accident was 3 days after I had the mazdaspeed kit and other mods done, I did cry a little but I was a pissed more than anything, but what can you do, you cant saw the sawdust, it was an accident after all.
The guy's insurance is takining care of everything so no worries.

What health club do you work at, do they provide good facials there??

Welcome to the club, and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!

 

Welcome to the club!!!

KILL THAT TURKEY EVERYONE!!! HAPPY TURKEY DAY TO ALL..

 

Happy Thanksgiving back at ya. Arundel Mills isn't my neck of the woods *phew* I work for Sport & Health. We don't offer facials at my location, but we are sistered with Serenity Day Spa. They offer all sorts of fun make-over items at the S&H spa locations. I can try to figure out if I have an applicable discount at the spa locations if you ever need anything.

Sorry to hear about the accident. I'm glad insurance is taking care of it all.

Happy Turkey Day, all.

 

Its almost time to put on your blizzak tires everyone.. i'm getting my done next week..

 

I feel you. I need to go & buy a set, but I've been procrastinating. It's a lot more fun to spend 700-800 on performance than it is a set of tires.

 

I guess that didn't really make much sense seeing but you get what I mean. It only snows a few times a year, but turbo's are year-round

 

Yeah i understand.. i went to get an estimate on how much it would cost for some blizzak tires and they told me $643 for all 4 and to be put on.. i'm like "Thanx".. I think i'll just keep the tires if have on there now..(they are fairly new) and see how that works out.. if not i'll just buy two blizzaks..(the rear ones..) just to get some attraction.

 

hey just found this thread cuz i havent been on this forum in ages...
04' Black AT ( ) checking in
let me know of any meets or such
i want some ideas on on cosmetics on of the such

 

Coker, if you're running stock tires, I can tell you your outcome. I bought my 8 last December & I used to make frequent drives to Lancaster, PA (Amish country). You'll stick to dry & wet roads. You'll even manage to push through thick fresh powder (I drove in 6 inches of fresh powder & it was a blast...nothing speedy, but still fun). However, don't even try slush. There were 2 occasions where I got so tired of going 2mph that I flipped my car around when I got within a half mile of my house and drove home FWD style. Also, don't forget: if you drive...spiritedly, your aren't going to have anywhere near the wet/dry traction you have in the summer. Don't push her too hard around the corners.

Anyone tried out the Blizzaks yet? How's the handling?

Beermonster, I, too, drive the brilliant black. I'm down for brainstorming on cosmetics any time you are.

 

Beermonster, you werent the "rude guy" at arundel mills last week were you??

 

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about that once I made sure that it wasn't me.

 

FYI, beermonster, this is the aforementioned incident.
