Painting wood trim sucks. I rather stick sharp sticks in my eyes than do this stuff. One coat paint doesn't live up to its advertising.

Atredeus

Agreed. I will drive my *** down to Cincy for that.

Mike,

Here's the Miata you can use.

Steve, while the NC is growing on me, there is no way I could drive around in something that looked like the Great Pumpkin. I was finally able to get mine set up just a little bit ago so the belt stayed put, so tuning begins tomorrow.

Color leaves something to be desired. My guess is there will be Velocity Red Mica since Mazda seems to have a boatload of that every year.

brilliantblackrx8

Please tell me that is not the next Miata

Atredeus

Looks to me that's not the original aspect ratio of that picture. Looks squished. So I'm hoping it doesn't look as bulbous and oversized as it does in the picture.

brilliantblackrx8

The Miata has proved itself as a legit sports legend, these cartoonish looking versions need to go away, and a nice clean design needs to replace the current NC, although this one basically looks like an NC with some add ons.

Mazdax3

That's an NC with mods to carry it over until 2015. Next gen will have Skyactive.


Anyone else lose power? I've been without power since 5:30. Duke is useless with their updates.

iPhone tethering works well with the laptop. I still have 3+ hours on the laptop left and I'm charging my phone via the USB port while I'm at it.

Looks like we lost power for a little bit before I got home from work, but it's been on ever since.

I may be at fuel late tomorrow, but not sure selling the escort at 10.

I don't mind the NC mistake. I still prefer the NA though.

Escort is gone

A little of that money is going towards another track weekend Most likely it will be with the OVR PCA at Mid-Ohio. Anyone else interested?

Didn't make it to Fuel. Anyone go?

Not me. I'm sitting in the Hilton at Heathrow terminal 5 in London, stuck here until the 5th for some BS company conference. All they are going to do is tell us what we have to do (on top of just keeping the ships running) and the consequences if we don't. Not any wonder people are going elsewhere to work.

Quarter sized Hail stings a bit. Got drilled within and soaked while frantically trying to get the BMW into the barn

Gues I should have put that the Mid-O event is mid October for those interested.

Mazdax3

At least you'll be out of there before the Olympics start.

I had the 8 out doing some errands and the weather didn't look too bad. Came out of a store and the end of the world was coming. No hail at least.

"Quite possibly...is that the one in October?"

Never mind I apparently just didn't read far enough....
It all depends on what's going on with work, so I probably won't know until much closer to then maybe end of September.

.... so tempting...

Mazdax3

If anyone isn't busy tomorrow, let me know. Too hot to paint the outside of my house (and I really don't want to do that), so I'm open to do a drive. I'm so bored since the wife is out of the country until next week.

brilliantblackrx8

Would love to but I have to do some yardwork at my dad's place. If your not busy on Saturday, maybe we could do a drive/photoshoot somewhere? Maybe Glencoe or that cemetary? After I get done doing chores, I plan on claybar/orbital if I have time.

ShadowBlasko

Well, I finally escaped the clutches of Central KY and Harrodsburg, and I am now back in Mason.

I have to say I wish I would have stayed in KY about 2 more hours on Sunday though.

I have some lovely new texture to the hood of my RX8 from the quarter sized hail I drove through Sunday night just before getting home.

Mazdax3

That sucks. Check with your insurance company yet?

I've been driving the Miata all week since you never know with these popup storms that come on quickly. I can deal with the Miata getting dinged since it sits outside anyway.

ShadowBlasko

Nah, I had to drop down to state minimums when I lost my "good" job last year. It's not *bad* damage, and most of it I can work out myself. I still think she looks damned good for 109,000 miles.

spideyrx8

hey guys! The wife and I have made plans to go to The Tail of the Dragon in September, anyone ever gone? I heard theres alot of cops there now. Cant wait to go. I also see a sliver rx8 going up and down Fields Ertl time to time, anyone on here?

ShadowBlasko

I'm pretty much at the corner of Fields Ertel and Butler Warren. (Owlwood) But mine is Vel Red

spideyrx8

Might of seen you once, I saw a red one when i was getting on the highway, it had a spoiler on it that ive havnt seen on an rx8 before. I work at the Quicklane across fron O'charleys

ShadowBlasko

My spoiler is factory, so I don't think that is me.

The only other owners that I have actually MET in this area were up at Burger King at Kings Mills one night.

This shot was not staged...
