Back to the Rotors!!

Hi everyone!!

It's been a long time since I've been here. Since the car first came out... but I just got my RX8!

A little bit about myself... I've owed an S4 T II and a really deck out FD. I had my last rotary about 3 years ago. Since then, I've found another love... Ducati's!!!

Been driving a old beat up E30 the last couple years and she finally died on my last week. Today, I pick up an Cerified Used 04 Silver GT! So far... I love it! Quick handling , good power, and most of all.... very, very balanced! If I had to use one word to descibe her...is that she's is very balance. I'm gonna take her up the Angeles Crest tomo to really try it out!!!

to the OP - there's a whole premix thread if you want to take a gander at it and a debate as to whether or not it needs to be done.

no need to just come on here and tell a new owner they need to premix.

what i'm saying here isn't that we need a link, just that we don't need to tell a new user that they need to premix. the % of the population that actually do premix is small and this would just be suggested reading and let them decide whether or not they feel they need to do it. there are bigger topics that are also sticky threads that are probably of more concern to a new owner.

Back to the OP. Do you shoot much pool. I was on the road every weekend until kids and age caught up to me. I still love a good money game from time to time. But with my eyes, I need to be spotted some......lol
