When you back Mike? Hopefully before the holidays.
We lost like 4 or 5 people this year to sold or crashed vehicles. With the 8 out of production, only new people will be the ones buying high-mile S1s probably. Not seeing a lot of S2s out there now. For a few weeks this summer, I saw a lot of them tooling around.
Wife wants my second set of Enkeis out of the garage. Why I don't know since they're not taking up more room than the summer rubber stack. It's almost time for me to exchange locations with the lawnmower and snow blower, but I'm not giving in just yet.

Steve, after years of marriage you should be used to feeling ignored. Now me, I'm still a relative newlywed (with this one) so I'm not there yet. Or maybe they thought you were a stalker.

Wasn't me... Need to get mine out. Think my wife will be driving it a bit next week while I get some work done on her fusion. Maybe I'll just trade her 2010 in for a 2013.

If any of you have for sale your OEM sides let me know - I have a guy looking for a pair so I said I'd ask around on here - he wants them for his Miata
Happy Thanksgiving guys and girls!

Just logged onto the mazda247 forum for the first time in about a year. They get NO love from rx8 owners. lol. So, my 8 is getting a little bit of a transformation... I've begun widening the rear fenders by 1.5 inches. Then ready for repaint. This is by far the craziest thing I've ever done. I should be painting the Shine bumper Fuz gave me in the next month or so. Lets just say, you'd never know it was a Shine. Pics to come when she's all painted. I'll post the progress pics all at once.

You have to know that 247 began as MSProtege.com. The only reason they expanded into other Mazda models is the owner is greedy and saw it all as a way to expand his empire. However you aren't supposed to send people off to other forums specific to their model. I constantly see folks with Miata and other models asking questions that never get answered. I hang out there for the people I know, but I go to specialty forums if I want info on one of my cars.

I'm not usually a big fan of the cars at Cavalcade, but I think it would be nice to have an 8 there... We'll have to see where I'm at in a couple months I suppose.

Just thought I'd check in here and say hello. I've been...busy to say the least.
After the uhh...electrical problems were sorted out, after four long months of it sitting in a south lebanon apt complex parking lot, it's been on the road for twoish months. It won't hold vacuum, and it now has no front bumper thanks to a low speed bump into the *** end of my room mates R53, it was still hanging on for a few weeks after that, but then I sortof, drifted it off.
Anyway, I've got a KBD Replica on it's way here Via Greyhound, unfortunately, that still means I need to get it painted andddddd mounted. Though, from what I've seen they fit pretty well for a knock off.
Anyone have any side markers and mounting brackets for an OEM Front Bumper? :D
Hope all is well!
Oh, who's got the sunlight silver 8 over on Union Cemetery right next to the Hawthorn Woods Drive development?
Just today, Room Mates and I visited the Landen Auto Laundry...haha

How is everyone doing? Been quite busy the last month with class and school, I thought I would swing by and see how things are. A few new things have happened in the last week:
I unfortunately have to go see a neurosurgeon on Thursday. I have 3 herniated discs in my back and the crash has increased the pain by 10 times. So thats gonna be a wonderful time.
The insurance company took the car and paid me a settlement. I paid $12,500 for the car when I got it and somehow the insurance company valued it at $17,000. Which means I made money totaling my car?
Other than that I have yet to find a car which is really starting to **** me off.
I have a lead on an IS300. Performance Lexus got in on a trade this past Friday. I'm test driving it tomorrow. The only shitty thing about it is that it is an automatic
There is nothing good around here that is around $14,000 with decent miles (under 75,000) in a manual that my parents will approve of me driving because they like to have control over everything.... So its been difficult to find something.
I should be at Fuel if the weather isn't too shitty Saturday since I've missed the past two weeks.

Sure hope you find one you like - what a serious bummer about the 8 :-( but so glad you are okay man! RIP to your 8 - did the insurance company take it or will it reside with you
I hate that stretch of 71 and hop to Ronald Reagan to 75 some days just to avoid that turn when I go down town- people are nuts in that area.

Damn Bobby, made out well but the neuro isn't good. Been there, done that. Avoid cutting into you if you can.
IS300? For real? Auto? Might as well get a Grand Caravan.![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
What about a MS3?
