Any one from the Louisville area? I had my 8 for 3 months and still haven't ran into another 8 (which is good) but just wanted to see some customizing up close before I try it and vice versa

Hey Cobalt,

I bought mine at Bluegrass Motor sports, which is about 1 hour from here. The local sales guys didn't do much for me but they have a great service dept.

Hey I'm from Louisville but I live in VA right now. I was home visiting family a few weeks ago and saw a blue one just like mine at Trixies over on Preston Highway.

the local dealer let me take one for about 3 hours on saturday and i enjoyed it very much(second test drive and ive made my decision and going with the 8 definitely.

every body in the kentucky area will definitely have to meet up together a few times this year.

I live in good ol' Radcliff, let me know if you want to hook up and cruise or something. Do you guys have any customizing done yet? I don't, I'm going to order the clear corners and maybe some other small stuff first.

I'm not sure what, I am a girl means, but whatever. I still need to order my clear corners. I've been slacking I guess. Let me when you want to meet or whatever. I can show you where somebody hit me already and you can feel my pain, I don't think anybody else understands, but I'm getting it fixed soon. By the way my name is Jeremy, I assume yours is Holly.

I was in Louisville on Saturday and left Sunday. I stayed over at the Super 8 off Blankenbaker Parkway. My wife got a wild hair and decided she wanted to go to the Flea Market that is there are the Expo buildings every few weeks and I was weak and decided to give in for my first real road trip in my 8.

That evening I was pulling past the Ruby Tuesdays off of Alliant I got behind a red car I could not tell what it was but it had a very big *** end and a very nice cadence. It showed me it's sound and superiority too as we both turned going south on Blankenbaker.

Not knowing the roads I decided not to try to keep up close on his tail and possibly not being able to by the looks of it. It had a ricer look to it in that it had spiderweb vinyls on the front and sides which I could only see as it turned left onto a road just south of town.

I guessed it was a Supra and am sure I am right after looking up a few photos.

It was a fine looking car, excepting the vinyls.

I was thinking about the stage 1 but I decided to just hold out for the stage 2. After all there are many many other things I can get while I wait.

The joke about the other girl driving was because he saw it at trixies which was funny to me. If you don't mind what exactly do you do in the Army? Just curious. If you want we can hook up on Wed some time, I don't have school or anything so just let me know. Bye bye Holly Oh, I just ordered my clear corners last night, where did you order yours from? I got mine on ebay for about 60.

You guys should think about meeting up with us in Indy for the Rotary Revolution. It's the largest gathering of rotary engine vehicles east of California.

Come on out, we are expecting over 200 vehicles this year. :D

I never knew they had such a thing. I'll have to look into it a little more, but sounds like a good time. Thanks MichRx7

With it warming up outside, I wouldn't mind making the trip up to the Ville to hang out. Have you done anything to your car Dreday? I went to Tachyon today but they said anything I do will void the warranty which sucks.
