He took the Baseline Road exit.
That was probably me. I get off on baseline between 7:35 and 7:45am in the morning and hit priest instead of trying to get off on broadway from all those darn people coming from the 60.

did the plate say "meeno"?

Heck yea, that WAS you! Thought the plate said Meene, but my bad! Come on out and hang with us on one of our drives. Looks like you've got your ride set up nicely. Hope to see you at an RCCAZ club event in the future. Block out late September for Sevenstock 10. It's one heluva fun weekend.

Spotted another 8 today!

I was pole position in the middle lane (04 VR). Between 5:10 - 5:20pm spotted a BB heading Northbound on 35th Avenue and Bell Rd.

I was in a '91 Miata (British Racing Green with Tan Leather). It's my daily driver. My weekend warrior is a CYM (Yellow) Gen 3 RX-7. Occasionally I'll drive her to work on Friday's when traffic is light or when I have a car pooler and can use the insane lane. Hope your job will allow you some time to come out and play with the rest of us Rotorheads soon!

I usually use my RX-8 as the daily driver, and the m/c as an occasional Friday to work machine when traffic is light. My weekend drive is the m/c. With this one as new, this week was a topsy/turvey one as I rode this to work M-Th and tomorrow I have to drive the 8.

Tough choice evey morning. It won't be for me though in 2 or so months...

We do have one major thing in common, T. Our Friday drivers are both yellow. You out there 09factor?

Yes, between 7:20 and 7:40 you'll see me on that same stretch nearly every morning. Custom plate BRG3452 as in "No. 3452 of 4000 limited edition 91 Miata's produced in British Racing Green." Next time you'll know it's me!

Hey J, congrats on the new ride, and yes, I love the color as well. Enjoy the weather while you can and watch out for all the crazy drivers in this town.

Spotted a Ti on the the road between the I17 and the one to Wickenburg. The road that goes past lake Pleasant HWY 87 I think. He saw all of us and was waving.
Spotted a NG on Guadalupe, this person had no interest in anything other then themselves. I was sitting right next to them and right in front of them. No look or anything.
Spotted a WB on the US60 at about Stapley to far to see anyone inside.
All spotted on the way how after our drive yesterday.

Hey Matt,

Here's a few recent pics. Still thinking about painting the N1 hood CYM. How'd you get to 405 RWHP. Single setup I presume? Fill us in with more details!
