Pic of my new RX-8 in Colorado
Here's a pic of my new "baby". I just bought her last Friday, and tomorrow, she's going to get tinted windows.

Oh how I miss Colorado! I need to head up there in the 8' this summer to 'visit family'. (Read - Drive twisty scenic roads :D ) I grew up in the Kiowa area east of Parker/Franktown.
Nice 8' by the way!
I'm sure you two will be very happy there.

Thanks for the comments, and with the newly-installed 35% window tint (27% light transmission per Colorado law), it makes the red RX-8 really "pop"! I'll post some new pics soon.
Nice to hear I have a "twin" in California and anybody who wants to cruise their 8 through the Rockies will have a great time! Still, I wonder why you left the "bustling metropolis" of Kiowa!

:D LOL!! Kiowa, a bustling metropolis!! Yeah right! Acctually, the Air Force took me away. I spent 6 1/2 yrs in Shreveport, LA as a B-52 Crew Chief. And I'm now in Oklahoma City flying on E-3's as a Flight Engineer.

Beautiful! And if you want to get together and cruise some of the beautiful, twistie mountain roads around here with some other RX-8s, you've GOT to get in with our RMRX8C. Last mountain drive we had as a group (during our main meet in June) there were 18 RX-8s in the caravan! Man, was that ever a sight! :D

What's this 27% light transmission?

The Johnson window tint has a rating of 35% tint, which is based upon the level of darkness relative to clear. The 27% transmission is how much light from the outside penetrates through the film. Simply put, if you're outside the car, the windows look pretty dark, and you cannot easily see inside; if you're inside the car, the tinting looks like what you may see through a "normal" pair of sunglasses.

Last week, I took the "8" up Mt. Evans Road (the highest road in the US), and she cruised to 14K feet without any hesitation! In fact, I was blowing past Colorado's state car (the SUV) and she looked good sitting "on-top-of-the-USA"!
I plan to go back up on Labor Day weekend, so I'll take some pix! In the meantime, we're livin' "Rocky Mountain High"! (thanks to Joe Walsh from The Eagles)
