Where are you? In Va Beach or Richmond? There are some great car groups in both areas. Hope we see you at some with a new 8 soon.

i'm thinking about doing those things too, I didn't get the appearance pkg on purpose so I wasn't paying for something i'd prob be taking off

i'm not convinced on the Borla exhaust b/c i'm afraid it'll turn my car into a lawnmower, like most smaller engines.... so my question is, does the borla make your car sound like a common civic w/a muffler?

btw, i just got my car last friday and i'm thrilled with it so far

Ok all. How bout having our get-together on the 29th of August? (the 28th my wife and I will be celibrating our 1st anniversary so that's out) I figured Rally's would be cool to stick with our cars. They have tables there too so we don't have to eat in the cars.
