Hot as hell this week.
Thanks for reminding me! I'm gonna have to get it decarboned when I get back tomorrow. Of course that could be fun.

I am grounded! Transportation free! Who knows what is happening to the 8! Ack!

At least she doesn't drive during rush hour...
Sounds like were in the same boat there Jeff. Got to teach the wives how to drive.

I bought my girlfriend a Saturn to keep away from my 8

And I bought an Optima Red top today. The thing sits rdiclously low, I had to come up with some spacers so the hold down would work, and cut the side of the battery box so the possitive batt terminal would lay flat.

So, Jeff, I have your battery ready for you when you want it back, and the money I owe you for the gas and Idemitsu. Let me know when I can swing it by. There isn't much going on until SSX....

no Will was having his BBQ but decided to move it to Sept 8th or something so nothing this weekend. Next is the dirft event, I don't think I'm going. For the show event you have to regiest either today or tomorrow to get in for $20 otherwise it's like $100. Are you going, Jeff?

Well, I can over and lend you hand on Karl's FB. I don't care what you say two people can strip a car at the same time! LOL

When are planning on starting? I'll roll over. Maybe I'll bring my unmuffled, straight-pipe Yamaha and **** everyone off on the way over

Us ancient codgers don't mind the four cylinder bikes unmuffled too much (I live next to one), but damn the unmuffled Harley types are pissing me off.

I must be getting old, or the Harley's just have bad harmonics...

Damn wippersnappers!

The Yama-hopper is a V-Star 1100- aka cruiser. Big air-cooled, overhead cam V-twin. It's loud a shyt but doesn't "glug" like an HD and leak oil. Harely actually intentionly misfires their motors to make them sound like that. Rather dumb. I'd race any Sporty in my Yamaha and whopp it. I think I do 0-60 in 5.5 or so, the 1/4 in 12.8. I'd like to take it to Speed World and see what I run.

Come on out and play Jeff!

BTW, I will have the video for you tomorrow night at work or at Tony's. Sorry it's taken me so long to get it to you...I've been absent minded as of late.

How are you going to get it that quickly?
Last time I looked at that hood, it was a 28 to 40 day wait!

Chops - do you have to have experience or anything to go to that event? I always worry about getting cone smudge marks on my car. I've never tracked it...

Silver doesn't seem to really show cone marks, so no worries for you. Yellow however...

No experience needed, show up, register, and ask questions!

I realize that most of you don't really live near Tucson, but if you guys ever get bored and take a trip out that way, a friend of mine has a band called Alien Jane and they play at a club called The Hut. Their next show is Sep 2nd at 9 pm. <end of shameless plug>

I'm from Sierra Vista really. It's about an hour south of tucson. Most people know it as Ft. Huachuca cuz thats the army base the town is connected to. And i just got out of the army and was stationed at Ft. Hood TX, so i moved back home. And yes my RX8 has a 65 shot of nitrous. I seem to be the only one running it dry too with no problems at all.
