I remember cracking the stick shift on Winton Road, right in an intersection. I wasn't even slamming gears. Just moved it from neutral to first and it fell off in my hands. Cop came up and told me to move the car. Now how could I do that if I couldn't get in in gear? He said that was my problem and if I didn't move it in 5 minutes, he'd give me a ticket. So lucky for me I had a screw driver and I managed to pull back the boot and jam the shaft down into the linkage and at least get it into first gear and off the street. I think I had it towed after that.
Wish I would have kept the Capri. I ended up buying a 74 Camaro that rusted through in 3 years. It was a big POS. Sold it in early 78 with rust on the rear quarter panels and around the taillights.

Saw a fellow 8'r today in Maineville, or better referred to as "Hoptown". It was in the shopping center where Gold Star, El Picante, New China, Grinders, Etc is. It was a VR, tinted windows, and a rotary emblem on the gas cap. I trolled around for a few minutes and waited for the owner to appear, with no such luck.

HA-HA...that car's owner was in El Picante getting wasted on happy hour specials to celebrate getting her term paper done on the horrific effects of carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles. If she hadn't of over done it in there she planned to go spend a tank of gas afterward driving back roads to emit some of those said emissions just as a tip of her hat to the cause Some days the guilt from my environmental engineer within overwhelms me and I just need a drink - it is either that or drive a Prius.

Oh my god that's awesome. Lol. You and I've gotta get a mini meet together with a few other members. Carve up some of the back roads :P
When you're not getting wasted on happy hour specials

Hey all. Brand new to the RX-8 scene. Had my R3 for about a month now. Since then I can only remember seeing 3 or 4 8's around the West Chester/Milford area. Pretty rare around here?
#1959
Indeed we all need to meet up, we will have fun. Welcome Atredeus! I am not sure if we are "rare", I used to not see anybody but lately I have seen more and more 8's. They must have been hibernating or something
#1960
Well I guess I could see "hibernation". Some probably have something other than RWD car to drive in the winter :P
Here's a bad picture of my new ride. Black on Black :D

You can't beat a well-balanced RWD car in the winter. I have some stories about my RX-7 back in the day.
You all need to come to Fuel on Saturdays, we can have a nice Mazda meet and take over the parking lot. Not that it will take a lot of cars for that, but still! If the weather is nice I'm in the Miata, someone will have to really talk me into bringing the 8.

Yeah, I'll be there this Saturday.
Kevin will help me on spring install after fuel. (thanks!!)
If he doesn't mind, I'm okay if anyone wants to head to my place.... Well it's in Oxford so it'll be a bit of drive though... And it's mostly boring highway drive too...
But may be I can take the grill out if there's any interests.

I almost bought a 11 R3 from Jake Sweeney back in April. They had a "new" one that I took out. It had about 1000 miles on it. It must have been on the lot since last Fall. Opened up the trunk and Christmas wrapping paper was in there. They didn't seem to motivated in selling the two they had on the lot. Besides, I had a string of red cars, the last being a MS6, so I opted for a demo '10 GT from Kings.
As for Fuel, I'm going to finally make it down this Saturday. A friend of mine is coming in his Exige and maybe another friend in his RX-7. Looking forward to finally meeting some folks.

Where did you find the '09 R3? Looks in good shape. Too bad they stopped importing anything but the Velocity Red R3.

I kid, I kid, Glad you're making it down. Saturday looks to be nice. Last weeks turnout was huge, I'm assuming the same for this week if the weather stays clear for sat.
