These are my new wheels - nice five spoke wheel Chrome. Not real fancy but I am a traditionalist.

Hey anyone know a grey 8 with a huge carbon touring wing, decent wheels, a few mazdaspeed decals here and there and no kit or appearance package? I parked next to it last night at the Palms. Wondered if he was a member.

I also had a crazy vented carbon fiber hood, I forgot that part. It was also the second time I saw this exact car so he is definitely local.

Most of you have seen my stock rims that have been polished. They do not have any discernible rash but do need a little polishing up. I have them up for sale here in the local thread. PM me for pricing. If I don't get any takers locally then I will put them up nationally (at a higher price than locally).

ASA JH8s were my first choice but I found out they have been discontinued and very hard to find in anyones stock. I also believe they have that clean look and that is what I was really after (with a little bling).

LOCAL MEET SCHEDULE

I feel that if we have a scheduled meeting time and day we could get a turn out. I considered twice per month with staggered days but felt that twice may put a crimp on some life styles. As of July 2009 we will have a (one) scheduled meeting on the third Friday of every month. The scheduled meeting will take place every month and will start out at the In & Out parking lot on West Sahara and will start at 7pm. Some months there will / may be trips to various locations or to get food. I do not enjoy setting by my self so some of you need to show up every month For the next few weeks I will be open to discussion as to the day and the time.

I know that some of you work strange hours and accommodations to the side trips can be made for you.

The first meet will be Friday July 17th 2009 (third Friday). Make some plans so that you will be there.

Sup...

so i drove to Albertson's last night and while heading home, a red 300zx w/ red xxr's (like Gil's) pulls up next to me and revs up and wanted to go at it... w/ my son in the back and father-in-law in the passenger seat.... i tell you there are some real dumb@$$es that drive around in this town. He drove next to me for about a mile before he made a u-turn and left.

Too bad about the move - I hate moving. This weekend and the next are set in stone but the following weekend is free and I would be happy to help. We'll miss you at the meet is you don't show

We never seem to have time at the same time.....I am leaving on another short vacation on thursday and will not be back until tuesday. Week days are tough for me as I still work but I do get off early. Let me try and contact you after I get back.
