wow sorry to hear that xrider, i dont think you will be able to get any money out of it unless they find the guy and you sue.

 

just got back form painting tonight (early morning) and our thread finally got the "last page" link woot woot.

Regalbegal i paid and got about the same for my taxes last year as well but this year they are taking roughly a grand combined, i guess i made too much money? oh well next year should be pretty nice since we bought the home.

 

Xrider01 you didnt get any of number on his license plate? I figure if you got atleast the first couple and you know which type of car it is then it wouldnt be completely hard to find.

 

lol, my bad. yea, i did get the license plates of the car. guess i didn't mention that earlier .

 

Sorry to hear about the fender bender. People are such a-holes in California.

I wish I could make it but I have plans for today, and can you say bad week? Well I finally got my first problem with my 8, for some reason when I have the clutch in it idles fine but when I have the clutch out in nutural it idles up and down (Just bounces up and down the tach all the way up to 3k!?) Then I went to see Redline with the girl and one of my friend who drives a new porsche. Well we both took our cars and when we came out some ***-*** spat all over our cars and my friend got a nice ding.....

 

man sorry to hear it xped everything is just happengign in the same week for everyone. how was the movie aside form the acting and the story line? lol

 

Damnit i missed the meet, I have never been before and i was up at seven and i must have fallen back asleep and now i just woke up, ****.

 

the meet was great! went up hwy. 18 and down 138 ...... there was 1 rx8 that went on the run (zootender)! hahahaha.. for once the fc's outnumbered the rx8s! the run was bitchen....

 

Sherry was representing for the 8's! did anyone take pics?

 

hi guys.

sorry didn't make it to the meet today either. also, sorry to hear about car problems jun and the fender bender jonathan. glad u're ok and hope u get the car fixed etc. w/o any issues. which movie theater did u go to jun? sucks that some people just have zero respect. let us know what's wrong with your car once u get it diagnosed. hope it's a simple fix and that everything works out ok.

on a happier note, i ended up scouting out the Angeles Crest Forest mountains. (near LaCanada/ Foothill area, just northwest of Pasadena.) and, wow- what a fun playground it was. i guess it's a nice combination of idly wildly and malibu, but with slightly wider roads. there are many park & rest areas, as well as a couple of different routes & forks to choose from- ie like malibu in this respect. lotta picnic and site-seeing areas. and, great mountain scenery to match. there is also a dam on the north side as well.

i explored for about an hour and a half, but there are probably enough runs to last all afternoon i think. i didn't see any other car clubs out there, but i did see some solo car enthusiasts (z's, elises, s2k's), as well as motorcyclists. ample turnouts on the road, and drivers here are very considerate and almost always pull out to let u pass. i only saw one cop car on the way down- near the entrance/ exit. (not bad.) and, there are about 3 solar-paneled digit speedometers posted near the entrance/ exit area of the mountain where the climb begins. not too big a deal either.

all-in-all, i think it's a great playground for driving. and, definitely a place we can consider for a meet. (i will for sure be visiting it again, since it's in my backyard, literally.) i took some pix, but i'll upload them later, as it'll take some time to resize them.

 

I love those things! Gives me a chance to see how fast I can go from a dead stop!
(most don't actually take pictures)

I have lots more, but I think these are are pretty good representation of what the run is like... Hope it sparks some interest for a possible future run...

Am heading to Taipei on Sunday, so will talk to u guys in a week or so. (Or, sooner if I manage to find net access over there somewhere.)

 

i just google mapped angeles forest hwy, and if you take it all they way through, it'll take you to route 138, which can be taken back home.

or we could start from hwy 138, then take angelest forest hwy, route 2 back up to 138.

just some food for thought

[QUOTE=Detrich]hi guys.

. i only saw one cop car on the way down- near the entrance/ exit. QUOTE]


There is always one cop on the bottom of that hill. He is usually on the turnout with the radar gun pointed at cars coming down.

 

I don't think anyone in our group had a camera....of course if Detrich would have shown up we'd have pictures of the actual met!

 

Hi, Im new to the rx-8 community, just wondering whether a stock car can join in (and the driver isn't very attractive either, or is he? )

 

I'm just a poor scholar.....I can't even afford light bulbs, lol jk maybe light bulbs, but not HIDs

 

i saw blades of glory last night......it was alright IMO. not as funny as i had heard it to be hyped.

 

Welcome!

You are alwasy welcome to come out and meet the gang any time. Stock cars are not a problem, even mine was stock at one time.

 

Everyone's welcome. And there's plenty of ugly people to make you feel good about yourself.

 

Seems like the standard Will Farrell movie. And John Heder was funny as Napoleon, doesn't mean he's always funny.
That being said, I'll probably watch it. Anything Will Farrell is in, is usually at least a little entertaining.

 

Watched Talledaga nights last night (speaking of will farrel)


Hey I saw our friend last week..... HOLLA!!!

 

welcome tajabaho1, we always love to have new members show up no matter what state their rotary is in.

Oh boy that impala just cracks me up.

Glad everyone had a good weekend. too bad there arent any pictures form the meet
I am pretty exhausted from painting. and still have some more to go as well as packing etc. augh all in one week.

Happy MONDAY!
