See if Randy or Robin are available, they are both good with suspension. Depending on the day, I'm willing to lend a hand as well.

I miss driving my 8, but I hate commuting with it. I rarely drive my 8, got like 19k miles on it with almost 3yrs of ownership. When I did commute with it I ended up with a nice gas bill, and a bunck of rockchips on my bumper. Now I just drive it on my days off which is twice a week.

I've got a decently short commute, 16 miles round trip. It should be halved soon but we'll see. I used to have a 50 mile commute, and when I had a g/f in Berkeley, that doubled it a few days a week. Needless to say in 2 years I had 90k miles on the WRX. Hopefully the RX-8 will get a bit milder usage. Anyone else have a motorcycle? :D

Yeah my commute is 90 miles round trip on 101, which btw is being repaved, so my 8 isn't going near that freeway for awhile.

busiwit, I want to go to willow springs but it's all the way in bakersfield... jeez that 300 odd miles away. Kinda far..

i think i have a good feeling of who that bumper belongs to. I don't think it's strato blue though.

nice find, the guy must have gotten his car towed and can't get up on the flat bed. Looks like some good luck is coming around your way finally.
