I take it you're in the Milwaukee area... God forbid there's another highway 100 where a bunch of idiot ricers meet up. The sad thing is I have to go there every now and then on a Sat. to pick up stuff for my aquariums, go to Home Depot, etc. I'm not sure what scares me more, all the cops or all the ricers.

If you come across any 235-255 X 17 let me know. Though 255 might be a little tough to fit on my stock wheels. Not sure how the hell I ended up with my all seasons on the wheels I bought with the intention of using them for trackdays I'd even settle for some Azenis with good life left in em. Ideally I'll happen across some Advans off a stock Evo for cheap.

heh, reminds of the video of the guy with the "GTR" mustang at a car show, people will lie just to try and fit in and get people to like them, maybe it's a self esteem thing, or peer pressure (?) or something, but I run across it all the time. Seems heavily prevalent in the IT field as well, always some contractor talking about how he owns a club, a bunch of cars, etc. and that the work he's doing is just to pad his income from the other "real" stuff etc.

heh, yeah I do the same thing lol I use simple stuff like dns questions or basic active directory stuff (man, group policies works great lol) and go from there. I can spot the bs "experts" pretty easily, and it's fun to watch them squirm too

LOL! Reading this stuff is funny! I don't own a 8, but you guys will appreciate this one.
About a week after I got my 3s sedan in 05 I was getting gas. A guy I knew came up talking to me and in short the conversation consisted of this.
"Man I like your Mazda. What is it?"
Me- "It's a Mazda3"
Him - "Cool. Is it fast?"
Me-"Uhhhhhhh??" "I just got it, it's quick on it's feet for the class." (Really didn't know how to anwer him.)
Him- "Yeah those rotaries are good engines, you can wind them up pretty far."
At this point I thought he was talking about the rotary in general, as in associating it with Mazda...........WRONG!
Me-"Yeah, I looked at the 8, but with my commute and going to college still I wanted to get something a little more practical for me right now. But I would love to have one someday."
Him- "Yeah the 8 is sweet. But at least Mazda puts rotaries in all their vehicles, so you still get the engine."
I so did not know how to correct him or keep from laughing. I just couldn't believe it. Seriously, even with the 2.3 badge on the side he though I had a rotary?
When I leave this is the best part.
Hey yells "Wind it up man!" LOL! I just putted along in hysterics.
