Well BOOSTD, I did give it some decency of adding a charcoal double pin stripe between the black and the yellow. That alone helps to pull your mind from thinking it's a giant bumble bee. So far it has been all positive reviews. We'll have to make sure to cross paths so I can get your review.

 

The picture I have in my mind is making my stomach turn ... hope it's better in person And I hope you don't mind me being honest. Looks are a very personal thing.

 

I don't have an RX-8, but I sure wish I did! I have seen a few RX-8's out in the Lake St. Louis area and O'Fallen. I remeber one time before going to school, I saw a red RX-8 and a red 3rd gen. RX-7 at the QT on Byran Road (OFallen). Man was that amazing to see! I have seen a few 8's but still not enough to make it a common car.

 

Hey BOOSTD,

If you happen to go by the Mayfest in O'fallon, IL this past weekend for the car show, you probably would have seen my car. I entered it in the show and took 2nd place. Not too shabby I'd say. Paint job can't be too bad I would think.

 

Congrats! I'm sorry I couldn't make it, but my wife was in labor @ the time...

 

Congratulations Dad! I knew the day was close if it hadn't happened already. I hope both the wife and child are healthy and well. Congratulations again man, have a cigar on me.

 

Hey fellow St. Louisans,
I have a Sunlight Silver w/Red and Black interior and red and black pinstripe. Also have my initials DSW on the door. (I'm not sure the initials will stay) It also has a big flake of paint missing on the grille opening (yuch). I live in Ladue and work in Clayton and the car is garaged and out of sight in both, so no one ever sees it, except that I'm always putting gas in it, so they love me at the gas stations around the area.
I've had mine for just over a year and I like it a lot.
We definitely need a get-together for St. Louisans (maybe in the fall when its no so hot out).

 

Hey myfuncar,

We've arranged a little get together to start out at Dave & Buster's in Maryland Heights this Sunday. Check out the following thread for more info and who is all coming.

RX8Club.com > Regional Forums > MW RX-8 Forum > July 2nd meet in St. Louis

 

Have a red/black interior and it rules, not in St louie anymore, home is now NC, but would love to see the red and black pinstripe, so please post pics.

 

Just got a yellow '04 a month and change ago. My first new car and certainly the nicest
one I've ever had! Lovin' it so far. It's kinda funny to see other 8's around. I never really
noticed them before. It doesn't seem like there's so many of them around here. I'm driving
around Clayton, U. City, Ladue all the time. Sometimes I pass somebody in a yellow one
around the neighborhood and it's kinda wierd! See ya on the road!

 

What's up King? I also have a LY 8. I work in Maryland Heights and have probably seen you around. My plate is WKL PWR. Give me a honk if you see me.

 

all right keep your eyes open I'm headed for the gateway to the west.shortly after I get off this computer look out st louis here I come ... looking to be pulling in to kirkwood some time Sunday

 

How long are you going to be in town? In other words, moving or just visiting? If you're moving here let me clue you in on a popular question that'll make you fit right in... "So where did you go to high school?"

 

Man, the high school thing is so funny. But it works!
Hey carguy, I've seen a couple round here. Saw one from the Ill side last night
on the way downtown. It's like seeing a ghost!!!
After living in the West End for a while (I don't any more) I'm kind
of afraid that it might be my car if I'm driving my work hooptie at the time!

 

ok all I'm here in kirkwood willing to meet other 8 owner in the area. give me a call at 206-931-8601. Yes I know it a out of state number but its my cell cant put mother phone # on the net.
I just visting. be here untill sunday the 31st and then be back about the 10 of aug.
KIRKWOOD HIGH CLASS OF 76

 

We've got a local meet on the 7th. Here's the thread on that:

https://www.rx8club.com/mw-rx-8-forum-31/st-louis-monthly-meet-65878/

I'll also be doing the SCCA autocross at UMB Bank Pavilion on the 14th. This'll be my first race in the 8 and my first race in 4 years. It ought to be a good time, but I'm keeping the street tires on it for the remainder of the season, so I won't be too competitive. There are a couple other 8s that show up, according to the previous results from the season.

 

I'll raise my hand on having a Winning Blue one here in St. Peters Anyone seen me before? I mostly drive on Mexico Rd, in O'Fallon MO, and St Peters MO

 

New Galaxy Grey Shinka owner. I spend part of the time in Southeastern NM and the rest back here in the St.Louis area. I live in Warrenton, and mostly just frequent areas in West county, St. Charles, St. Peters, and Ofallon. Lots of previous performances cars (R32 golf, Evo VIII, MCoupe, M3, S4(x2), modded WRX and Forester, etc....), and currently still have a GMC Syclone in my collection. I wrench all my own cars and mod everything I own.

Only money spent on the car to date (last three weeks)has been a set of winter rims and snows. I just got back into town this afternoon and enjoyed cutting through some wooded twisty roads on the way from Washington to Warrenton. A little cool temp-wise for the summer treads I am getting ready to change-out, but it still handles great!! Man I miss these twisty roads, and living in Warrenton I am used to having access to a multitude of options for fun driving. NM really sucks unless you head to the mountains and then the altitude impacts performance.

Regardless, the RX8 is a blast and right there at the top of fun cars to drive in my book. Perhaps I will get a chance to meet some of you guys sometime in the future.

Jeff

 

anybody...???

 

My 8 is still sitting somewhere in St. Charles County being repaired. UGH!!!!

 

Reminds me of the days when I went 3 1/2 weeks without my 8 after being rear ended. I feel you.

 

The sad thing about all this is that the damage is minor. It's just that between the dealer/auto body place taking their sweet time and the insurance company having their head up their *** it's taking forever (giving an estimate for the wrong side of the car). It'll be a month Friday.
