Btw, do any of you guys know of any places right now that have used RX-8 in around the Inland Empire. been going back forth between if I want to go out on new years eve to try to haggle my *** off to get a good price on a 06 GT RX-8 or if I should go get a use 05 or up?( wont touch the 04 since i here they got some bugs in them).
Yup...my '04 now has 62,000 plus miles and no issues at all...other than the frickenm cosmetic sh** that keeps happening. The car is strong, running strong from the first day of purchase through.....If you got cash, or a good loan....I would be willing to part with mine as long as you make the current payoff amount...

Of course there would be things that I would need to remove from it, but if your interested, send me a pm.

oh, and just to spice it up a little more....the car did win 2nd place in the 2006 RX8 CUP.

i have a buddy in the irvine area that can get good deals on new GT 8's.
Dont worry, I will stay away from Romero Motors. That is where i got my mazda 3 and my mom got her RX-8. Well haha do you think your buddy may have a good reach to get some good deals on a GT 8 in Cerritos. It is a Brilliant Black 06 GT with the two-tone leather. that i was thinking of going for an 05 NEW pearl white GT 8 that is in redlands if i can talk them into giving it to me for a good price.

I kicked the habit already. I haven't bought myself a lotto scratcher in at least 4 months. I have $200 worth of non-winning scratchers in my desk.
I won on a Poker Night scratcher.

I'm outside right now, during my winter break trying to see if a claybar and my last coats of zaino will cleann up my front end a bit....

I told you, your Z5 was taken by force, or should I say "The Force". Did you ask him?

another set of OEM wheels with R-compounds is up for sale.....anyone interested in autocrossing and wanting an extra set of rims...with tires already attached....
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=105898

Cesar?
Sherry?
Denward?
Detrich?
Jorge?
Loren....? I know you have an extra set of wheels already, with stock tires on them, but this guy is selling the wheels and the tires for 500....cheaper than buying a set of tires and having them put on your rims....and you could sell your set to someone else.

Well today I detailed one of my regular client's car and got an oppourtunity to take some pics together. The setting was pretty cool, basically old california. There was a rusty broken down ford model T in the garage and the bus behind is from 1969, which their restoring. Anyways just wanted to show off my new authentic ms bumper, the first time I took it out I scrapped my splitters ******, It seems that this bumper is lower than stock cause, I never scraped getting out of my driveway. It bothers me so much that I scrapped my new bumper but what can I do. My dad was like stop bitchin, its just a Mazda, think how those lambo and farrari guys feel when they scrape their bumper. I guess I'm way too ****.

nice job jun, cant see the front bumper to well but it does look good. the lighting on the ground is awesome. are you going to get the side skirts, does the front align good with the body on the sides?

I guess i will have to take a look at that link.

nice pix jun and congrats on getting ur car fixed!

i see u decided to go w/ a badgeless front afterall... and, am sorry to hear about the bumper- tho i don't see any damage from the photos. is it underneath or on the edge? hopefully it's not too bad.

honestly, i think any of us here would also be pissed if we got a new bumper and then accidentally scraped it. at the same time tho- don't be too hard on yourself. objectively, there was probably no way for you to have known... maybe you can measure the clearance and see what approach/ angle u'll need to prevent it from happening again. for what it's worth, my mom told me something similar to what your dad said to you when i was upset over my rock chips... not exactly the best consolation, but i guess it does hold some truth & wisdom...

so, are u going to be around the first week of january? hope u have a great holiday regardless.
