I was curious if anybody on this forum works at Johnson Space Center in Houston. Last week I saw a blue 8 (aside from mine) and a red one on-site. I think I've seen the red 8 parked outside B44. Just wondering.....thanks.

 

Rev_2_9K works for Lockheed at NASA, he has a base red car with the RB suspension kit.

 

thx alan

i work in bldg 30 some of the time, but that means i park out in the field. there are at least 10 rx-8's on site. my car would be at least 15 spaces away from anyone else.

 

I didn't realize there were so many on-site! I actually work for Lockheed as well. Mine is the blue 8 parked by B15 (also parked at the extreme end of the parking lot!)

 

u work SEAT crontract?

i work MSOC

 

I think HIX-8 has a blue one at NASA too.

 

Yes but does anyone have a mustang in the area?

 

Yeah, I'm on the SEAT contract. My office is in B15, but I spend most of my time over in B36.

 

Roger that. Ordered mine way back in Jan'03 and got the first one delivered to the area. Ah, the good old days. Now I might have to do some radical mod to ward off an identity crisis (actually, all I have in the works is a subtle euro-spoiler).

Here's a cellpic I took a while back when I was helping an astronaut move his plane:

 

Ha! Those things are as common as Fire Ants!

(Maybe that's why they're called 'Stangs.)

 

Some folks may be interested in this old thread from a year ago with some fun NASA pictures:

I hadn't seen that thread before......beautiful pictures!! Now that they have closed in the Saturn rocket, your pics are even more of a novelty.

 

I am currently working at St. John's Hospital and I have seen few RX 8's driving around red and silver, haven't seen a blue one yet. Mine is red, base, w/ greddy exhaust. Do RX 8 owners at bay area/NASA area meet anywhere?

 

i have seen myself at the monthy rx7 club meetings.

maybe we could meet in the k-mart parking lot on friday nights

 

working every weekends. Anybody interested meeting up at Hooter's at NASA by I-45? Any suggested time/day?

 

why don't you come to the houston meeting tusday? as in tomorrow, as in voting day. c sticky thread in this section.

other than that i like hooters, and i like college football.

 

I like the idea of a local get together.But I'm in a crunch for the next two weeks.

 

yeah, maybe we all can meet up some other time. Although, I will try to make it at Houston meeting tomorrow.

 

Jonjie, I'm guessing that it was you who I exchanged waves with today passing each other in Nassau Bay, you in your red8 and me in my blue.

I had my windows rolled up, otherwise I could have had you pegged by your exhaust note.

 

must be somebody else coz I stayed home today

 

I can't make it this week (tight schedule as well), but I'm definitely going to make it to another one soon!

 

I wonder who; how many will be there?

 

like 40 people; 20+ 8's

on a good day

 

Another blue 8 here + strakes, tint, ... uh, I guess the unique item would be the UW plate frame :P

I work offsite, but go onsite sometimes either for work or Gilruth.
