I am down herein WPB from Ocala for my 20year TLHS reunion. It apears two of my classmates have 8s as well. One is red and the other is TI. It is good to see the class of 84 has class.
I am in a blue one. If you see me, wave

Good stuff John.

I am almost positive it is the valve stem. The new one that leaks i can wiggle it freely. The others are very stiff. Ill get that info from you Paradigm. So far Ive got two prices for my rims and tires. One is Tire Rack, the other is Wheel Expressions on Palm Beach Lakes Blvd. Id rather have a local shop do the work (in case of any problems). If anyone knows of another good wheel shop around please let me know. I cant wait to see my 8 with some 22" DUBs! LOL!

 

You do live in the same county I do right? Please tell us what you (and your girlfriend) were doing to crack the button...because you sure as hell cant be using it that much with this weather! :p

 

Well, what can I say. It's a small car!!

Seriously though, there's quite a few posts on it here on the forums. I guess there was a bad batch of buttons sent out on the early builds.


Call me and let me know what kind of wheels and tires you want. I got my tires cheaper than tire rack ($178x4 + $50 for shipping, as opposed to the flat $175x4 I paid for my tires).

 

Yeah. My temp **** just plain broke off in Jay's hand at Homestead as he was trying to adjust the temps.

 

So who is attending Rev It Up this weekend? Wife and I are planning Sunday AM.

 

I didn't see any of you guys today!!! I asked some dude if he was one of the guys I met in O-town...but alas, no.......I saw a nice black one parked head on w/ mine when I was leaving. NO note exchanges though.....I also saw another silver one on the way out, but they wouldn't roll down the window so I could say 'nice day, huh?'........ Other than that I left there around 3 in 10th spot in the novice category. I bet I'll drop, but this gave me a thrill to start looking for more places to to some closed course driving w/ clocks. It was hot and fun.

 

Yellow RX-8's everywhere! Any of you guys in Palm Beach Gardens? I keep seeing yellow 8's every day around the Northlake and Military Trail area. One has what appears to be a carbon fiber hood. Another has yellow rotary accents.
Anyway, just saying hi.

 

that's gotta be me....yellow - I live around Military and Burns and work on Fairway. I'm all over the neighborhood. What color are you driving - I usually have the sound system up so loud I don't hear honks but flash at me .... I only know of maybe 3 or 4 that I've seen up this way and so far nobody that has responded to my "hey" - but I'm the only yellow one I know. I would've put my plate on the front that says (My Lady Deb) but I had ruining that front end - lol

 

You're not too far from me deb. I'm off northlake, but WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY out west. Still practically a straight shot. :D



So is anyone down for a little WPB meet soon?

 

how way? there are times I head out there past IBIS to visit my Dad at Menorah Gardens? How far past that? just a few weeks longer and I'll have my time and sanity back - the college crowd, that have been living at my house this summer, will be heading back to school.....oh no, I'll be soooooooooo lonely ----- NOT - lol

 

I'm even further west than that. I'm actually just a few blocks south of northlake off of grapeview. Less than 5 minutes from menorah gardens.

 

You're out in my neck of the woods. I'm a few streets south of Northlake on Coconut out in the acreage.

Don't have a 8 yet, but hopefully soon. I have an Avalanche and a mustang. Trying to convince the wife to let me trade the mustang for an 8. Not looking too good so far.

 

You can take her for a test drive in mine. That might help.


What's her reasoning behind not allowing you trade the mustang for the rx8?

 

My wife kept telling me the RX8 was too small and that we needed to be able to fit "future" baby seats in it.

After buying it anyway... My nieces came to town and I had BOTH baby seats in the back without needing to move. I'm 5'8" so not too tall, but either way I rubbed it in

The 8 is much bigger than the mustang inside and you'd be surprised how much crap you can haul in it :D

 

She doesn't want to give up the convertible. That and the mustang will be paid off in the next year. It would be nice not to have two car payments.

We test drove one a few months back, but I wasn't completely sold due to the flooding issues. She almost flooded it on the test drive. It finally started, so I took it out on I-95 and nailed it. I love the way they drive. Now it seems flooding has been pretty much eliminated, so I'm ready. Now I just have to convince her to give up the convertible. Not an easy task.

 

Now.....if it was me, I'd just go out and buy it on my own credit.

That's pobably why I'm not married. :D
