It was fun! Like I said, if you ever come this way again, we need to make our way to Old Maple Hill Rd.

That's right KB. Once again, I'm sorry it was so rushed. I had just gotten out of work and we had alot to do but I really wanted to stop by and show her what C&C was all about. It was good to see you two.

Hey fellas:

B/c it's such a drive..it'll be a bit before I can get back down there. But I will see u guys again...hopefully at Deals Gap and we can really have fun with our cars....I took vacation this week to come see u guys, I had a great time!!

G: thx for the compliment on my car...I can no credit of the professional photography...I was very impressed with them.

J: I luved the sound of ur car too...I do plan on RB for the exhaust...I'm going for the AEM CAI and see how that sounds put together along with the RB dual resonated midpipe...at some point I will work on other things when the money comes available... I'm out on my own by January, my husband and I are separating and I'll need to save as much money as possible in case Candy's heart decides to need a reman...my warranty is up next year...I got advice to take it to Fl though where the people will actually port it too and add a bit more kick

R: I can see your girl driving an RX8 too..hot chicks/hot cars--word on the street is that's the ideal perfection....lol!!
And I imagine she helps with your car too...a but if grease never hurt anyone 😉

Well I can see my see my finger are a bit too big for this keyboard...haha Lets try this again:

G: I can't take any credit for the professional photography. I luv my clear side markers and I had no issues popping mine in and out...I don't know what piece that is in your hand as I didn't remove anything but the outer piece. I got them in December and put them I shortly there after.

R: lol-- a bit of grease never hurt anyone. I hope to see her driving her own by April 2014 up to Deals Gap with all of us...if I can chat with Mike Kuhn (TopGear8), maybe we can have him there too...he's slightly familiar with the 8's...haha

I can't wait to meet him so I can squeeze some racing tips from him..his car looks so mean!!

Thx again fellas...nice meeting u Danielle!! U need to start looking at what color u want in the RX8!! I think my next pick would be Stormy Blue...I must say we need to have a few more chicks driving these cars and show the fellas what we have to offer!! Ooohhhh, maybe a FD-- yeah...I totally have a vision on that one.

Happy Spirited Driving!!

KB, yeah, she loves to wrench and she's helped me alot. I like the AEM CAI but I only got it so I could fit the oil filter relocation mounted to the cross bar that the battery and air box sit on.

I've been watching his videos and had pics of his car on my computer for so long and now I realize I've chatted with the guy. Crazy.

Funny huh, damn small world...I can't wait to meet him! His car is so aggressive looking...great combo, those two. And he posted on his FB his video of his AutoX win this past weekend...at ZMax I think. A friend of mine in WS, CDemon215 (Chris) hopefully caught up with him too this weekend.

It's been a minute since I've been on this site. Looks like you guys have been keeping busy, I need to finally make a meet sometime. I've been in Rhode Island for a week and some change and have seen only one 8. After talking to the owner for a few he learned that he needs to top off the oil as needed and that its not a four banger. He had no idea what a rotary was. At first I thought he was joking but sadly not.

Haha that's funny. Hopefully he didn't cause any damage by reving to high while the engine was cold or not topping of oil. I imagine there are many people that have no idea what is in their car. That kind of scares me....

Yea I know, I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I admit I was a little naive with my first 8 but that guy was way out there.

Went out to Old Maple Hill Rd today with a bunch of friends and had an awesome time. Going to be making a little video of all the footage I took, but here is a screen capture from when i did a small pull past my friend in his turbo veloster. Can you say flames?

It's a fun road for sure. There is usually no one out there as well.

Here's the video as well in case anyone is interested in checking it out. Not really any footage of driving on Old Maple Hill, but I do have about 40min of GoPro footage of when I was driving through it.

Ok guys, time for you all to come on out to an Autox when we get started back up in March. I'm running the show (Solo Chair) now and want to see you guys come on out and have some fun with the SCCA. My car is going on a mild STX build for 2014

We run locally at North Campus @ CFCC and our best site is 2 hours north at Cherry Point in Havelock, NC on the Marine Corp Air Base.

A look at CP from the roof of my car early this year at the test n tune. My first time racing on street tires as I've raced a decade on Hoosier slicks.
