USC 8s

Just wondering if you're on the boards, I saw a silver MS 8 with some nice pipes, I was in the titanium grey MS 8. Just saying what's up, and sweet ride man! Any other 8s in that area?

hey cat, do you ever take melrose in the a.m. (around 9:30am-ish) heading west- past fairfax, lacienega, and san vicente? i've seen a MS 8 just like yours during my morning commute a few times. (i remember the yellow dealer rear license plate.) is your car new, or did u just not install a rear license plate?

hahahaha. cool beans. guess my memory is pretty good still.

that's my daily route as well. my 8's 6-months old too, but i only drive it into work maybe once a week- mainly to avoid valet parking in our building. (if i get up early, i can get a good space and park myself.)

have u put on your front plate yet?

Nope, and I recently received a ticket for it to lol, but I'm not caving in. I'm just not going to park it on the street at work anymore.. i really don't feel like drilling holes into the MS bumper and putting a plate on

I think its kind of ridiculuous that on any given day there will be 20 cars with no front plates on the street, and i'm the only one that gets ticket. In fact today I came back and received another ticket from the same meter maid.. this time for parking too far from the curb.. wtf?

yah, it's pretty much dumb luck i guess. i got let go w/ a warning recently also... 10 out of the 12 rx8club members at the last malibu cruise meet all don't have front plates either. the ones that did just got tired of getting ticketed for it. i hate to admit it but, i get all paranoid about getting pulled over sometimes... LOL it's really a dumb law if u ask me... :P <sigh>
