You guys are really misguided. I never owned a 350z. It was a body kit. I have two rx8s'....

Hey, a quick heads up guys before I start singing the Sesame Street song.

I got swoop and squatted today on my way back from work on the 880 nb.

So what happens is, 2 guys pull up in the lane to your right. One guy boxes you into your lane, and the guy in front merges into your lane real quick and hits the brakes really really hard.

The idea is to get you to rear end them and collect on insurance.

I was lucky and was already in the process of braking when the guy in front of me slammed his brakes. So between that, my superior stopping power, larger manhood and general luck, I missed him by inches.

Called CHP and got the license plate of one car, but they can't really do ****. The officer did say they've been seeing a LOT of these in the past couple of months. So a heads up.

Damn, that's fucked up, but here's a little song for you to sooth away your worries....

Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street

Superior stopping power man. Stock 8 brakes and tires. I had my Cusco's set to 2, but I doubt that really helped.

Guys who do the swoope to other cars are pussies. Real scammers do it to big rigs. Tons of insurance and they pay immediatley. of course you run the risk of getting crushed, but it's worth it for the money.

Hey guys, I'm planning to do some development with Shaikh over at FatCatMotorsports in San Jose in terms of possibly converting the Bilstein HDs to coilovers for the RX-8. He needs to look at a RX-8 for development and it's a little hard for me to ship my car to him. I'm wondering if anyone near San Jose will be able to take a little bit of time to let him look over the car. Would be especially useful if that RX-8 has a stock suspension. Thanks.

Damn, I don't have stock suspension, but I still have my stock shocks.

Hey Rob, you wouldn't happen to be interested in possibly selling your MR2 would you?

Anyone here a Giants fan? My boss have 4 tickets for the Astros tomorrow at 1245p. Section LB106 Row 1 Seats 9-12. I can't make it, and it'll be a waste to waste these tickets.

laythor, I'll talk to Shaikh and see if he wants to test your car. The Mazdaspeed setup in some ways might be a better baseline than the stocker, but we'll see.

looks like Leo is going to hook me up with the ride tomorrow. Called the shop and they said no problems bringing it in tomorrow. I'll be pissed if it needs gas!
