Thay already have.. They make the EVO.

The Eclispe stays the same, just body make over.

It your generation.

4 doors become sports cars
Sports cars become slugs
Station Wagons become SUV's

You figure it out.

Maybe too may burnt out Pot heads didn't raise their youth correctly.

It's definitely been a fun ride to 40,000. Wonder how much fun the next 40k will be.

@ Keith....I know it was a bad picture with my cell phone. And do you like the Mazda 3?

Looks like the damage to our wall and now fence is going to cost between 15-20k to fix....insurance better cover it

Those Volks came originally from an EVO, then to an RX8 owner, and then to Loren. They, from my memory, are 19x8.5 +30 on all four.

OMG! Did you already have a company come out to give an estimate or is this just a guess given the original cost of putting the fencing in?

I haven't looked at my policy in depth, but isn't there a land slide/move section....? I would assume that most of the damage was caused due to land movement, right....not water damage?

If Erica's car was Casey's Grandmother, what does that make me....?

Bought the car Feb. 04.....currently has 79364 miles.

@Jedi.....enjoy those first 40k....cause the second 40k ends somewhere with a broken clutch bracket, a failing transmission, broken center console lid, and maybe some freeway debris through your front bumper. Enjoy the ride

yep, i'm not worthy compared to the rest of u... :P well, actually- the parking situation at my office building is the main reason why i don't drive the 8 more often. the car-to-parking space ratio is something like 3:1. and, our valet parkers are notorious for dinging, scratching, and crashing cars. so far at least 4 of my co-workers have had their cars sent to the body shop for damage inflicted by those pineapple car parkers. so, unless i can wake up like 45 min early and get into work early and get a "self-park" space, i'm always hesistant to drive the 8 in anymore.

speaking of which, the rotary ninja wears a gray turban keith..

For all you movie watchers!

Here's a crazy deal on an HD-Player.
http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/a...free-shipping/
$129 for the Toshiba HD-Player, and 7 free HD movies.

@ Zoo....don't have much to say about the 3....drove it for only the third time last night back from dinner. Erica has been driving it this week since she lost the snowfl8k. It may still be too early to ask her for a rating on the 3..cause it definately is not an 8.

Looking down at the gas gauge with 200 miles and still half a tank looks good though. My wallet was smiling.

Got one estimate for 15 and that was the cheaper guy. Was caused by rain and an improperly built wall (surprisingly since it was permitted).....guy cut corners but he's broke so suing won't do anything.

Hmmm, Nino just bought one a few weeks ago....but at that price maybe we could get one for our other tv. I'll pass on the info to Nino, he's also looking for the good deals.

and maybe some freeway debris through your front bumper: - waaaayyyy ahead of ya on that. Might be time for a respray this year.

ummm... HD players aren't going to be around much longer. BluRay is taking all the big movie studios.

Geez Jorge you really have to be such a downer....lol. Of course I'm the dork that just figured out that the player Nino just bought IS the deal Cesar mentioned. Hmmm maybe someday my brain will start working again.

I'm sorry Zoo, I didn't mean to be a downer! It'll be good to have an HD player now to watch the movies you've already purchased but there is currently a shift towards blu ray right now so future releases will most likely be on that format.
Just didn't want you ending up with two of those.

yeah, it is an interesting story to watch....and even more interesting to speculate on who will have the new HD format...and who will be stuck holding their Beta Max players (Beta Max vs. VHS).

How many people here actually bought a Beta Max player, or had family members that did?

When I was growing up, I didn't know a single person with a Beta player.
