this lady at my work said her sister is getting one- and I thought to myself, and then I asked- does she know it can flood pretty easily and she said she would ask her- then she came back later that afternoon and said her sister wanted to know what I was talking about! now I have nothing against women- but I do know my wife could never drive this car on a regular basis cause she would either flood it or run it out of oil! anyhow I told the girl to tell her sister to do some research cause the salesman is the idiot who knows the least about the car- all the typical mazda salesman knows is that it costs alot! just my 2 cents

RXhusker

I have seen 3 driven by ladies recently -- all have been AT's. This is my fear -- the 8 will get a really bad rep with tons of women driving AT's The AT should never have been sold in the castrated state of tune it's in.

1:00 PepperJax's -- I'm in.

The Acosta Racing 8 is for sale on EBay for ~ $60k -- now that is tempting .... 900 hp :D

Kain

JUST to CLARIFY, we are meeting at the pepper jacks at 132nd and center right>? if there is no response, that will be the one you can find me at and yes 60 is very tempting on the 900 hp! you should get it and throw most of the stuff you have on now on it, and make your current lady the daily driver for yah!

Kain

OH! ONE MORE THING!!!-I do not have access to a color printer at my workplace, (don't ask) is there anyway rxhusker you could print off those logos and we could get a start on them since there will be so many people hopefully attending tomorrows' lunch>????? <on my knees beggin>

RXhusker

I'll make copies -- now get up off your knees

Kain

cool cool

RXhusker

Lunch was fun as always. Love your 3 Blizz81! Great choice of color Welcome to the club RXFORFUN!

Hskr8 -- where are you?

MooneyCJ -- we got another doc in the group -- but he works on kids of the 4 legged variety

RXhusker

Kain -- guess you weren't smoking wild mushrooms after all

I saw the crazy painted RX-8! It is a Bacardi rum promo car -- it was parked at Baker's at 176th and Center today. Wild paint job -- wish I had my camera with me.

Kain

well welcome back hskr8!!! and thank god rxhusker!!! I was worried I was going to have to STOP smoking those wild mushrooms but cool, cool! I was actually thinking it was weird if some guy did a crazy paintjob like that without being on the board!

Kain

when is the next meeting>?......guys>? ......guys>?.....girls>?

RXhusker

We should probably shoot for mid-July.

Kain

sounds good. we should try and make a date now so more come I suppose. you are the presidente' so it is up to you>?

RXFORFUN

Kain, the more I look at the decal ideas, the more I like the black rotor symbol with the HRC logo inside.

El Presidente' my two pasos, any thursday and I will be there!!! (late wed should work, any other day is ????) I need another lunch break.

Question to the group, I have read a lot about the stalling issue, but has anybody had any problems with battery drain. I meant to ask at our last meeting. Happened twice. First time was probably my fault. Day I got the 8, spent some time loading CD's, and playing with the NAV. Battery replaced by dealer next day. Second time was after my trip east. 8 was at home for 5 days alone and DOA. Jumped and drove for 20 miles, no problem since...

Kain

well I will work more on that one and make a couple of versions- Pertaining to your previous question- I had mine last winter but did not really ever drive it and I would wait for a week at a time to start her- and it would start right up -even that week of the bitter cold. So I guess basically, I don't know, but it does seem odd>?

RXhusker

Never a problem with my battery.

How about either July 8th (Thurs.) or July 14th (Wed.)?

Kain

either day works for me! Hey rxhusker! what is the closest rotary shop you know of to us>?

Kain

OH! and is anyone thinking of going to sevenstock>?

RXhusker

I haven't found one in Omaha -- KC or Denver most probably -- Omicron found one out in Denver that he was recommending at the Rocky Mountain meet. The only rotary engine guy I am familiar with is Jeff at Olsen service -- he has been there for a very long time -- used to service my first gen RX-7.

Kain

so is olsen where all the local older sevens go to get fixed>? and what do you think about sevenstock>? I recently got some more free air vouchers and was already going to go to california at the end of the summer early fall and this might just work out

Kain

keep the grin going!!!!!!! so did we ever decide if we are just joining the rocky mountain club>? and we have missed you hskr8!

RXhusker

RX-8 Club Lunch Thurs. July 8th -- let's do McKenna's again @11:30 a.m.

We would have to approach Rocky Mountain about letting us join. I see pros and cons -- just not sure if Omaha or NEB will ever really be big enough to support a real club of our own and we are kind of in between areas with other clubs that are developing. I would rather join Rocky Mountain than MN-WI-IA for example.

Some guy in an new Altima tried to race me the other day and then was totally miffed when he got aced -- wanted to know what I did to my car because he heard the 8 was "SLOOWW" I told him "It's only slow if you are driving a Viper -- which you obviously aren't" -- do these guys think that just because they share an engine platform with the Z that they are a sports car?

Kain

nope, but how about you come to the next meeting and find out for sure>?

anyhow- hooter's is good with me- anything but sushi, I'll do a couple versions of the logo by then- (search rx-8 club panties) maybe if we get a logo we can print up some panties!!!!!! ......did I just say that>?

Kain

I am trying to get some rx-8 club panties printed up (not my idea originally but I have carried it this far) I have the means and think it would be pretty cool!

Kain

the them sending me worn ones part is the BEST part that is now twice in this thread in the last few weeks I have been accused of "drugs" pretty funny!!!! (the 1st one being rxhusker not believing me about the bacardi 8) for now on you guys will have to take EVERYTHING I say at face value! - so would you be purchasing any panties if we had them printed up>?

RXhusker

All I can think of is the scene in Shallow Hal where Jack Black holds up Gwynneth's panties (the ones the size of an RX-8 car cover) and says WTF! LMAO

Spent the moring in the emergency room getting my face stitched up -- last time I take my 8 yr. old to golf school and give a little fatherly advice on how to pitch and run -- my sunglasses saved me from being "One-Eyed Jeff". OOUUUCCHHHH
