OK so who was it in the black 8 around 5:30 on 436 turning onto 50 west? I was two cars in front of you in the next lane going straight on 436. I was gonna holla at ya! but you turned.

Hm, I'd say that was me, but I don't think I was turning ON to 50 West at 5:30, I'm pretty sure I would have been turning from 50 East to 436 North...could there be another black 8 in the area that I don't know of?

Na it wasn't you. This one was behind me and I was headed south on 436. Could be rx8wannahave, I think his is black also. You can always tell my 8 from others. All the emblems are gold and I've got Polak's custom gold rx8club decals in the rear windows. I'm usually in that area between 5:15 & 5:30 heading home from work. If I see ya I'll give you a "yeehaw" out the window!

Haha, sounds good - I'm usually pretty good at spotting other 8s, but I'm apparently prone to having some pretty solid lapses (my friend spotted two on me today that I completely missed), so forgive me if I sit there like a lobotomy patient while you wave your arms around and yell. Just throw something at me, I'll probably have my windows down anyway.

Just saw another black 8 at UCF heading into the parking garage over by Communications at around 3:30, wasn't in my car so I couldn't get their attention...haven't seen them around before...

Even more remarkable was the Shinka I saw heading East on Colonial around Bithlow at about 5. At first I thought it was just another black 8, but when the sun hit it there was definitely that purply-brown color. I was riding with my friend at that point, so I didn't even try to get their attention. I kind of like the Shinka - it's really hard to spot that color unless you're really on top of it and I love the tan interior, I wish I could have gotten it on my car.

Hey guys, do any of you know if the lease agreement for our cars allows for tinting without being charged when you turn the car back in? I'm pretty sure Mazda won't charge for aftermarket tint, but I know that BMW will, so I just want to be safe here. Thanks!

I depends on your lease my last car was a Miata and it was through Mazda Credit and therw is no fee for tint, we have also had BMW's and I have never heard of a fiance company charging you for tint. My 8 is through Huntington and there is no penalty for tint, or the oil screens, or the ac condensor screen, or the aftermarket exhaust.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting any sort of a problem, but I remember reading on BMWs website that if you got the $299/mo deal they were running on the 325s, they would knock you for aftermarket tint as excessive wear/damage. Just wanted to be safe and check up before I made an appointment to get my car tinted over spring break here.

Most leases require that the addons add value to the vehicle, don't interfere with mandatory safety or emissions and are permanent high quality products. You might want to call the leasing company and ask specifically about tint. My company's fleet cars are through GE Capital and they STRICTLY and EXPLICITLY forbid tint. If a driver adds tint, they will have to remove it before turning the car in. (and it better not cause any damage in the process)

Welcome TiburonGTGirl! Hope this attempt goes better for you than the last. Most people here are really cool,and very knowledgable. But as with all forums there are a few jerks.

Heheh, I was thoroughly amused by that first thread! :p Either way, I'm pretty sure everyone was just screwing around, I couldn't imagine everyone seriously being that over the top.

Anyway, welcome to the club and I hope your other threads go a bit better than that first one. Did you say you went to UCF?

I'll head up there with u i go sometimes with my 8 and my brother shows up pretty often with his turbod eclipse. I just don't like when everyone starts to act a fool and the police always end up there. Are you talking about next to the denny's in that area?

How many of you 8 drivers race your car. I have only seen 1 8 at the races, but he didn't race, he was letting his girlfriend drive the car, she probably would have done better than him, but no racing
