What do you do for Discount? Management, perhaps? I have a reason for asking that doesn't involve tires........

I don't have my RX-8 yet, but I'm starting to save up some money to clear the upside down on my current car so I can finally have one; I hope to one day own a clean VRMica w/ 6spd. manual transmission.

Right now I drive an '04 Acura RSX Type-S. The car is tuned and runs pretty fast, but I think I'm at a point where I don't care about HP so much as I now want an FR layout. I've always been a rotary fan even though I have never owned one, and I grew up in a family with brothers and cousins who owned RX-7s in the past or still currently do. I just decided that I'm going to work toward my goal of finally having a rotary powered car. I see the RX-8 as meeting all my needs as it has 4 seats (which is really convenient in my life), is powered by a rotary motor, looks sharp as hell, and is FR.

I'll be hanging out in this thread periodically to check out what you guys are up to, and maybe I can join in on one of your meets sometime if you guys don't mind having an FF Honda around Lol =D

Anyways like I said, I'm just starting to save up money. I'm about $5k upside down on my RSX, and I have some credit debt I would like to take care of, so it will be a while before I seriously can get into a nice RX-8

Hope we can get into good standing as friends, and maybe I can be familiar with your group early, so that I'm set when the time comes that I can actually reach my goal =D
go do some gambling and win big.. pay your ****.. and get tha rotary.... lol as if it were that easy

welcome

sad news. i think my air conditioning is broke. even on the coldest setting my air conditioning does not even shoot out look warm air. in fact, the air coming out of the vents is hotter than the air outside of the car.

well thats frustrating.

Volk SF challenge FTW! Do it Phil! I have always wanted them! Getem!

Good times, DOS XX on tap mmmm. GB's, Yardhouse, Almost hit up Stoneys too, but the line was too long and SP for steak and eggs.
You guys are some barhopping maniacs!
I heard that Blue Martini takes reservations if you want to do it there. I wanna check out the Blue Martini.

I am looking for a good detailer that will clay-bar the paint, polish out my rims, work on the swearls in the paint and do a good hand wax. Any one know of one? I am sure they are out there but I don't know of any. I figure that I'll most likely be painting it after Seven Stock but it needs a good cleaning now.
