Still alive...still have my 8
 

Hello folks - I haven't been very active over the past year - since my move from WA to AL. I still have the car, although my wife has adopted it. She drives about 35 miles each way to work - mostly highway - and loves the 8 for her commute. Frankly, I feel pretty good about her driving it lots because of it's safety stuff. Another upshot from driving my Legacy GT most of the time - when I get into the 8 I think "WOW!" :)

Anywho - here's a photo from the park today. Car looks just like a stock RX8 w/ TEINs, Strakes, and Tint.

If our house back in WA sells, I'll make the 11? hour drive to Pettit next summer and add some happiness.


Thanks for looking!

Good to hear from you :)

Has it been that long since you left :(

When are you coming to visit the inlaws/parents....we should get together for a beer

sweet pic

Hey Dan! Yeah - Left May 12th. No idea when I'll make it back that way. However, when I do, I'll absolutely work it to meet up with you and others. I've met one rx8 guy down here (Boosted via GReddy) - but with his flight-skewl hours it's hard to meet. Nice guy though.

How's the weather up there? :D

Thanks Nuke - Eventually I'll look for a MS kit and CF hood. Oh - and good black rims. :)

[edit]OH! I've actually meet TWO rx'ers down here. :)

Nice looking silver! Pettit is like 20mins from me.... haha

nice 8 welcome back!

dmp, GOOD to see you back!!! It's been too long but glad to hear all is well with you.
Hope wifey is enjoying the 8.

looking amazing!! good man to let the wife drive your 8. better man than me in that regard ;) i would not consider letting my wife behind the wheel of my 8.

[napoleon dynamite voice = on] LUCKY![/voice]

Hey, thanks!!

Thanks Jedi - appreciate it. Yup - she loves it. The folk at her work (semi-local Home Depot) say things to her like "Dayum! Your old man must be making lots of money for you to have a car like that!" or "where's your hot rod today?" (when she drives the legacy). Makes her blush. I told her to either tell them $15k or less gets a 04 rx8, OR say "Yup...my hubby has mad cash!" :p


Why is that? License somebody to operate a car and you have a wreck waiting to happen...TEACH somebody to DRIVE a car and you've got years of safe motoring ahead.

:D

nice drop. looks clean

Heh thats a great photo

'lo Darin :)
