Well, I drive a Blue AT and usually park in the Staff lot around Entrance 14 - I always see a black RX-8 parked right by Scott street... anyone from around here?

BTW shelleys_man_06, were you parked in the Entrance 14 parking lot at a metered spot yesterday? I saw a Titanium Rx-8 fitting your description.

I was down at U of H yesterday. Every time I go back there, they are adding a building and there are more people. What is strange is that every year a new parking lot dissappears. More people, less parking, and record high enrollment. I see something wrong. When I started there several years ago, we could park by the then Wendy's which has reverted back to a field, the entire stadium area was a parking lot. Now the back has been made smaller by a new police station and the front has been decreased in size for faculty parking since Science and Research 3 is being built. Originally before Spur 5 was completed there was more parking off of Calhoun. back then there weren't enough parking spots for everyone so what do you guys do now? I think the next thing they should build is a 10 story tall parking garage.

Sorry for the threadjack but sometimes I wonder why all the decision makers at a university can't seem to do anything the intelligent way. This is strange to me.

They also hiked tuition. It cost me $140 to enroll in a one-hour PDE workshop!

Oh well. I want my A. :D

Personally, I still keep my spot near the Y Building (the engineering building). For you engineers, I'm at MAES most of the day, but you can usually find me in the afternoon.

Soundwave3k, I don't know what entrance is which, but I'm mostly near the engineering area.

Entrance 14 is the small street off of Cullen that runs in front of Science & Research 1, and Agnes Arnold up to PGH. He parks in the lot across the street between Cullen and the Stadium. The metered spots at entrance 14 are the parallel parking spots on the street.

Oh okay. That's where I have PDE, in the Fleming Building. It sucks because I have to walk all the way from the Y Building just to get there.

The traffic was so horrible trying to get there. The ticket line was even longer. We left an hour early to get there. By the time we would have gotten tickets and gotten into the stadium it was almost half time! We left. I'm a Coog but football (any kind!) isn't very important to me anyways.

Hey shelleys_man_06,

I saw your post here about the Winning Blue on Wheeler but I wasn't logged in at the time (I was at work) which is why I didn't reply. So yes, that was me.

Okay. Who is the guy who owns a Velocity Red RX-8 6-speed and is parked near the engineering lab?

Thank goodness for the edit button.

Who drives a Ti Gray RX-8 with the Appearance Package in the engineering lot?

Spy, ive seen your car at the stadium parking lot a couple times. I would slow down just to check it out (eventhough its stock) haha. Something about the FD's just catches my attention.

So how many 8's are there on campus I counted about five on here. Plus I know a girl that owns one and I doubt she logs on here. Its a black one. So that 6 on campus.

I saw red one on 45 north bound on wed. It had a red Tein sticker on its rear door window.

You guys have cool names for your colors. My old RX-7 is tan. You can't do anything cool with the color tan. The interior is "babyshit brown" though!
