Well...I'm having a St Patty's gathering at my house Friday after work and then Sat I'm heading out to east Mesa, possibly checking out the Renaissance Festival while I'm out there. Which leaves Sunday....so we'll see. I think the spectator fee is turning some people off. What can ya do...

3rd Place- Boxcar (First trophy!!!, Congrats my friend)
2nd Place- Mac

Congrats to you both, with today's recognition we have help put the 8's on the map as a true Tuner and show capable vehicle. We hope the rest of you will join us at the next event or come and support your local 8's.

Good job fellas!

Thanks to Abbid for coming out Saturday for supporting us and partying with us and thanks to Todd (our newest member, and one of the biggest enthusiasts I have ever met) for joining us in the show Saturday.

Sweet showing everyone.

Mac... as you know, I would have killed to be there if not for Steve Kan being in town and tuning this past weekend. Props to everyone, especially Shawn for his first hardware holiday!

Man... Sunday was extremely chilly. I'm sure that most of the models were probably wearing insulated trench coats inbetween the bikini contests huh? Sounds like everyone had a great time. Was this a funner time than HIN?

I had every desire to make it out there Sat. Installing new shocks took way longer than planned.

Install shocks or check out chicks? hmmm

But the car rides better now ...

I don't think you want pics of most of those chicks. As the beer wore off I started to feel sick to my eyes Just not into the whole fake skinny girl thing with less curves then me. Yuk There was this one group of ladies in these checkered things. Damn! All natural and beautiful! I would gladdly take them all home after putting a little meat on their bones.

Here are my NOPI 2006 RX-8 related pics... first two are kinda funny...

I took 852 photos that weekend, these are all the RX-8 pics...I guess I would have taken alot more had I known I was getting one myself!

It's funny, I've picked out the 19" G-Games 77 Wolf in Gunmetal for my car, and I have been looking all over for pics of the wheel on the RX-8, and all along I had a pic of my own (looks like the black gullwing RX-8 has them in silver?) Are they 19's?
Probably not the lightest wheel in the world being cast/spun 2 piece, but I sure do like the look.

Anyways, enjoy the pics...

-C
