New owner and future autocrosser here

Hey everyone,
Picked up a black 05 manual a couple weeks ago. Love the car so far. Just have to take it to the dealer to get all the latest tsbs taken care of.

I live in levittown PA but work at Ft. Meade in MD so I drive back and forth every weekend. If any one wants to meet up and share tips or cruise I'm down. If it's in MD we can hit New Cut Rd. The road never fails to scare the crap out of me!

Also if anyone is interested phillyscca is putting on an autocross. I signing up tonight and hope to see some fellow 8s there.

Shane

Rotr, yeah that's probaly a good idea to wait on the weather. If the weather forcast is right I'll be catching a cab to work tmw

sucks I don't get to drive this car more. I'm sure people thought I was crazy when I came running out of work just to jump in my car and let it warm up lol. Dman I love driving this car!

Finally got out to my first autocross. Was kinda disappointed I had the only 8 there.








Great course. Was 4 parking lots long. can't wait to do it again. That was an instuctor in the car with me. I went solo on my second run and spun out. He said good job. At least I know your trying LOL. Sorry I didn't get a picture of the spin. My 8 year old was checking out the "cool loud car". Guess I need to get a catback so I can get some better pics LOL

Nothin to be dissapointed in with having the only 8 there as long as there is at least one 8 at every AutoX then life is good...
