I think I've got some tires in my garage that I could split with.

Low compression and broken everything is probably also an issue but I disregard things like that, just turn the radio up louder (or rev harder). J/k...kind of...

Sorry a little thread hi-jack - but what do you guys typically do on long road trips about dealing with flat tires? I've considered buying this: http://www.stopngo.com/products/Stan...e-Plugger.html and I've read various threads about people getting a emergency spare from other Mazda vehicles. I don't have the Mazda tire kit with my RX-8 so looking for other options for road trips.

I'm dead serious about my 2 used KDWs. You have no idea how much I hate them. So fracking loud!. If she wants um, I will go buy two brand new tires right this damn minute.

Not your fault...Just people that were placed on the list because they said they were going, but now they're thinking it over either because of money or other issues.

^I love how we're all such loving bitches to each other. Keeps me from making as many mistakes in my daily work items and comments when I'm constantly on the lookout for word combos and phrases vulnerable to attack and criticism.

OH. Speaking of which. Hahahaha, I didn't realize I was the "maybe" list under the "for sures." That seems fitting.

"Loving Bitches"...?...How so?...I have the feeling you think I was being rude with what I said...Just to clear that up, no I wasn't...And...That wasn't pointed toward you...In case you didn't notice, you weren't the only one I removed.

I don't believe I'm wrong when I said those who I removed should be on the "maybe" list...Last I checked, you guys were still deciding.

No, I was serious, I didn't think you were being rude, I was being sincere, I love how you cleaned up the list and Thomas called you on the wording. By "bitches" I mean unnecessarily nit-picky and by loving I mean in good fun just to give each other ****. I didn't think anyone was being rude!

Well, if that's what Thomas' intention was, he didn't succeed...I didn't take it as him calling out my wording...I took it for the wording itself...Who knows, that may have been his intention...Can't hear somebody's tone over text.
