if you live in SLO county or are passing thru then drop a line! lots of fun driving in the county and we can get some small events going.

 

I live in slo. Downtown. Check out SLOcars.net

 

I was in SLO last weekend and I only saw ONE RX-8. Galaxy Grey A/T, looked like an old couple in the car.

 

there are quite a few in the area for the size of the town. I'm not sure if I've seen that one.

most recognizable one in town is the 05 shinka with the license plate CALZOOM, tho I haven't seen it in a while.

 

Are you talking about the red one. I can think of a couple others. Sometimes I see a silver MS Front by Vons on broad.

 

no, it's an 05 shinka in black cherry, used to be parked on monterrey street down just a bit from pepe delgado's.

Ones I see often:

blue with a MS wing driven by a younger guy, usually on broad or johnson, I think he's a lawyer.
red with black rims, pretty young guy in that one.
completely stock silver driven by and older guy with a beard, I passed him and honked and he looked at me like I was crazy
stock red with spoiler, driven by an older guy.
Blue with MS wing and maybe a CF hood, license plate AQUAGIA, owned by a girl who works over at camp san luis and lives in morro bay or cayucos, a friend works with her, she didn't wave when she passed me...
Black, lowered suspension which I saw at the santa rosa st shell station (was that you?)

there's more but they don't stick out enough to remember them.

who's down for a turri road blast this coming weekend?

 

does anyone else here go to CP? Im stoked about getting an 8 this summer

 

I might be passing through next weekend. will probably stop downtown for lunch on sat.

 

let me know when, might be able to swing lunch

 

so far the best road to drive in the county that i've found: Hi Mountain rd that runs out of lake lopez going east, we need to get some ppl on it and do a cruise!

 

hey man im down when i get my 8 this summer... im lookin for a TiG 6MT <35K so hopefully we can find some roads when i get it!

 

bump for SLO

 

be going up a few times this summer. for sure the 1st weekend in August.
be cool to plan an event around ME!!!!

 

well I'll see what I can do, there is a small but fun car community here

TiG manual huh? that's me I'm the one with the chromed rims, spoiler and rear half tinted. I know there are at least 2 more TiG in town.

 

cool I'll keep an eye out for you when im downtown next time... i cant wait to buy an 8
What do you think, should i buy at a dealer or private seller?
I want to buy late June, early July

 

depends on what deal you can find, I'd start looking out right now, I've seen some good deals in town every 5 months or so, I went the private way and got a really good car, not sure if it was the best deal but I'm very happy with what I bought.

 

thats good to hear... did you buy in CA or out of state?

 

I am from Monterey and go down to SLO about once a week. Might be moving down there actually..

 

^ its an awesome place to live... probably why it costs so much to live here!

 

hey i saw a TiG with app. package and spoiler drive through campus yesterday... younger guy driving... anyone?

 

the only TiGs that I know of are without spoilers, one belongs to a dentist, another one to an older lady and no appearance package. It wasn't me tho...

I've been seeing a white one a lot, both on the 101 between slo and paso and downtown as well, is that you mikey?

 

Bought mine from a board member in fresno, out of state is cheaper tho, especially in AZ.

 

No that's not me. I have a 04 Silver 8. I'm usually down Mondays and Tuesdays.. I saw the white one today. And a blue one shootin north on the 101..

 

I saw a blue 8 in paso today headed towards 101. I waved at him but he didn't wave back man the first 8 I wave at I get shafted. I see a TiG 8 at Paso Robles Inn all the time, parked at the very end of the parking lot like a good 8 owner should . Well here are some pics of my car I took last night.

 

did the blue one have a mazdaspeed spoiler? I know of one that belongs to some lawyer who lives in paso, and another with the same spoiler that belongs to a girl in cayucos, that one has a vanity license plate

I had an 8 pull up along side me on the corner of 1st and niblick a few days ago, silver with a moonroof and stock spoiler, and an older lady in it, she didn't even look over...

Oh and the other TiG that you saw on campus lives over on murray street just up from casa, I think it's an auto, the rims looked smaller.

We should meet up at spikes one night for some brews, I might even bring my own stuff in and see if they'll let me open it.
