Hey G8tor, missed you at the JGTCA meet Saturday. When should we hook up?

I was looking at your Cardomain site tonight. Great pics!

I noticed you had a friend in Algonquin (Wendy) with a Siver. IS she on this site?

Funny you mention that... the first thing I noticed as I drove up was her exhaust pipes were coated thick in a black funk... not just the tips, but everything, like they were never cleaned in its life.

Thanks! Yes, she used to be...I met her at a meet in Schaumburg about a year and a half ago, but haven't seen her online much since. I still see her around town on occasion though.

Cruzdreamer is coming to one of the meets next week! She is also very skilled at making jewelry and has made some sweet ones for the Ladies with 8s. She also has a men's version. I asked her to bring some to the meet, so get ready for rotary goodness!! :D

Yeah, this weekend we had a labor day/college football/swimming/drink-for-no-reason party for everyone in my neighborhood, so I couldn't think about going to the meet. If I can't get free this Saturday for the JGTCA meet, we'll have to do something in our neck of the woods maybe on Sunday?

I can't make the JGTCA this Saturday, I'm going camping this weekend. I'm going to try to make Rock n Roll McDonals on Tuesday since I'm going to be downtown all week. I doubt I'll be able to make Schaumburg Thursday. We'll have to shoot for later in Sept.

Gotcha- Unfortunately I won't be able to do anything on Thursdays with one kid in soccer and another in ice skating... and I'm presenting at a symposium on Tuesday, that appears to be out. We'll have to meet up some other time I guess...

Saw a silver one on the northbound off-ramp for I-94 at the Townline Road exit. I was east bound on Townline and stuck my arm out of my black RX-8.

Cool

I was driving back from O'Hare this morning and I didn't see ANY! However, I saw about a dozen 350z/G35's and it really made me appreatiate how "unique" our 8's are.

Yeah, I get that whole "kids in activities" stuff. I have two in Boy Scouts, one in soccer and (thankfully) one not doing anything right now. Let me get through this camping trip and I'll PM you. It's not like we're across town

about 1 pm earlier today I saw a black RX8 south bound on Milwaukee Ave in Vernon Hills near Home Depot. It blew off the light with a 7-8K rev. Is that how pretty my car sounds.

I also saw a bunch of rx-8 people in a chat room but there was nothing but silliness to report

Spotted I355 exit ramp at North Ave. Brilliant Black RX8 behind me in my Brilliant Black RX8. We waved at each other.
