The creative menu offers 22 different burgers--from teriyaki-marinated Bansai with grilled pineapple to the 5 Alarm with pepper jack cheese, jalapeños, salsa and chipotle mayo. Soups, salads, and entrées of fajitas, fish and chips and Cajun-spiced shrimp round out the casual American menu.

I need everyone attending to post your intension so that I can get a big enough table. I will also try to get separate tickets for ease of payment.

Yes, you already posted that, and as I said: "Hey Arturo, welcome to the club! Looking forward to meeting you at the meet on the 21st! Besides that, if you'd like to be added to the member list, check out the first page on this thread, and PM me with the information." LOL

Well, I decided I can't go with the stock look for long.. Like I posted before, I'm interested in getting the AutoExe kit for this current 8. I wanna see what you guys think.. Yes or No? BTW, I was only thinking about the front and rear, I don't like the side skirts at all..

I started reading online and they said the distribution & final design center is in France but corporate HQ is in Milan. So ether your a bag man for the Mafia or the French Conection

Nancy that there was a hand bag at your work on sale for 250K and she still has not quit laughing. Nancy's idea of an upscale hand bag would be from WalMart. I'm not saying that she does not have class just frugal.

Nancy would think that the swapmeet was overpriced, remember I told you she's frugal not like her husband. Whoops you said girlfriend, Nancy keeps me on a short leash (like she has to, if I had a girl friend she'd have to be blind).

Armin, my two cents says the front end is acceptable but the rear bumper leave a lot to be desired. The side skirts are amateurish looking.

if anything he'll get like a 1% discount. which is still 2500 bucks! woo! lol

armin i like that kit a lot. theres a guy on here with a widebody kit version of that, and it looks amazing. Id love to get MissyKs rear and then get a faux exhaust that has tips like that. i can't deal with the loudness of an aftermarket exhaust...

and front...id love to get the Rmagic lip molded to the front bumper so there is no connecting gaps. But for now. i think it will just be interior/engine upgrades.

I like the front of the autoexe... but the vertex lang kit is nice... i was thinking about the vertex or mazdaspeed... but more vertex i think.

oh yeah, btw... Cali was a blast... though i didn't see any 8's to my suprise...

This is a mega quote, so I don't have to quote everyone individually.. But, first let me say thanks for the feedback, it helps me decide a lot easier. I like the Vertex kit, but I just don't know how it would look on a VR. Also, I've never seen a Vertex kit on a VR to decide what it looks like.. The AutoExe, I've always liked just never actually decided weather to buy it or not. I would make the 8 look better than the pictures I posted, I'll have an aftermarket hood on it, and all.. Also, Jordan you said you saw a guy with the AutoExe kit, but converted to a wide body kit? All my years that I've been on this forum, I have never seen it. Can you find a link to that thread?

I'm down, I started drinking again a little bit.. I almost went a full year without drinking, before I quit on March 25th! But, I'm no hardcore drinker anymore. I don't drink to get drunk, I just have a few drinks on an occasion..

Welcome back man! Glad to hear that you had a blast! I'm pretty sure the reason why you didn't see any 8's in Cali is because they are all way too busy posting on this site..

I found some pictures of a VR with the Vertex kit, and I gotta say I still like the AutoExe better for some reason. I just don't think the Vertex kit looks good on light colors, I think it looks better with darker paint jobs.
