SouthBay RX-8 Club Meet Saturday 18, 2p.m. Great Mall, Milpitas
The Next South Bay RX-8 Meet will be on Saturday September 18th!
I'm so glad that we are close to out of summer...it was really hot. Anyhow, lets bring our shiny toys to the next meet. I know alot of people have purchased, so if you're a newbie this is going to be fun to see a slew of cars. We meet at the top of the Great Mall Parking structure at 2 p.m.
We are going to take a little cruise over to AppleBee's for lunch and drinks, so this will be our first mini cruise together. Maybe even figure out a neat event...taking suggestions.
A few rules, and we know that all of us drive carefully...don't throttle the car coming into the garage..I know I love the sound but we don't want to attract any attention having fun with our fellow RX-8 members.

Yeah, the LCAs and Panhard Bar are adjusted, Just threw on a heavy duty girdle cover to strengthen the rear end. I can't wait to get it to the track...I did take the RX-8 back out to the track and did a 15.5 in 103 degree heat launching at a meager 3500 rpm. A 350Z was there and was my race partner. He didn't do any better than i and it was his first time with his new car too. I had some aweful reaction times though...(all driver)

I made it to my first meeting last month, but alas....due to the fact that my 8 was introduced to the passenger side of an Audi sedan last Tuesday as they made an illegal left turn....will not make it this month. Maybe next time......

Out of curiosity, how many would be interested in karting at LeMans (fremont) at 11am before the meet?

Damn I saw that accident Scazda 4. I work in the gateway plaza. I was coming around the corner in a rental, and I swear my heart skipped a few beats. It was one of the worst things I've ever seen. Was it you or the other person that needed the ambulance? So sad...so sad... Hope it gets fixed soon!
As far as the meet, I'll have to see.

Thanks for the concern, Moostafa 29. Is that pretty Titanium Grey 8 yours? I work on Chabot Dr. across from the post office. I was the one loaded into the ambulance. I had one day of mourning (I had less than 5000 miles on that car) and am trying to stifle the urge to hunt down the guy that turned in front of me to see if I can assist him with some neck pain 
My car is at the dealership body shop now. The initial estimate is $14000. I must say, though, the car held up well considering how hard the impact was. I only have one bruise and that was from the impact of the airbag. Here is a direct quote from the police report from the other driver "I saw her coming but I turned anyway"

Scazda,
So sorry about your accident, I hope you're going to be okay. I also hope they get your car fixed soon.... hey didn't you have a teenie tiny little paint chip or ding on the front bumper? If that was you, now it will get fixed!!! Again, I'm really sorry to hear but glad that everyone is alive and doing okay.

Just called LeMans. They're booked from 12pm on, so we'd have to be there at 11am sharp in order to get a 11:30 drive time. So yes, it's on and I'll see some of you there.
