she should just cut to the chase and race in a bikini or some skimpy outfit... hehehe same with women bob sledding in the olympics. i mean, let's be brutally honest... do we really care that they are 2 or 4 women in a bob sled? we only care about eye candy...

are you guys talking about danica patrick, or someone else?
if your talking about danica patrick, she's doing pretty good considering shes's had all of two nationwide races under her belt. the california race (the first one for her), she was 3 laps down at the finish, but she was running times consistant with the leaders. she also lost two of those laps due to speeding violations on pit row.

not spectacular, but really, not bad considering.

on a lighter note, shes smokin hot, who cares where she finishes. :-)


EDIT: if your talking about someone else, then cary on. :-)

danica finished in the top 10 over all the last two indy car seasons. I believe she can race/drive but she needs to step it up if she want to win.

I pretty much figured my first ticket would be in the RX-8: nope.

$416 later.


I'm trying to figure out what area you're referring to: mind posting a pic?
as far as the door: it might just need to be greased?
I don't know if you have a breakdown butt I bet...........

It's 275 for the ticket and the rest is court fees etc..


Sure glad I track my car.

I can go to the trck for two week ends on that Money.

LOREN!

Get a volt and amp meter.
Check voltage draw.

Check AMP draw. Dicsconnect the battery and put the AMP meter in between.

Draw should be less than.... ?
.1 or something.

Anyhow, I bet its the stereo or trunk light.

Batteries do not like to be drained below 25%. They hate being stone cold dead.

It's still possible you killed the battery.

Check for a draw. Ask the auto store for the normal reading.

You think .x amp draw isn't that much butt it is.

Note: You will have a very small draw for the security feature and clock this is normal.


It's the amount over .x that is causing the problem.

Danica is average. Nothing really in the wow factor, as her driving skills go. Danica is the Anna Kournikova of racing.

If you knew the real story...........

About 80 lbs compared to other race car drivers give her a big advantage in Formula I

@ Gerry.....the sound you may be hearing, may be the cat starting to fail. They tend to vibrate a lot prior to failing, maybe that extra vibration is what you are feeling/hearing near the door panel. If you take a peak underneath your car and see where the cat is, you might notice that it is about the location where you are hearing/feeling the noise....just a thought.

One Month down

Brady is now a month old...here's a new pic. Next month I plan to install a cold air intake and high flow exhaust on him...that should easily give him 2-4 rwhp.

Thanks Keith... I'll take a look at that and/ or have them take a look at it. If the cat actually is failing at < 10K miles then this would be a first in the record book for all the years I've been driving... And, it would seriously say something about Mazda's true QC on the RX-8... I've had the bmw for 12 years almost 115K+ miles and still on the original cat.

I'm have to replace the rear 02 sensor and to add to that my cat might be failing. I guess that would give me the excuse to replace the exhaust system.

I have to disagree a bit, she is in a profession that is the majority of Men and she is a women. Look at Milka Duno, another women in the series also trygin to make the jump but she DOES suck. Yeah Danica hasn't won much (one gas milage race) but try taking Anna K and put her on the mens tour, she wouldn't be top 100...unless she played in a bikini.
