Adding to the snow tire discussion, I made the mistake of thinking all-seasonal tires would be okay for the Cleveland winters and it really wasn't that bad as long as the snow was no higher than the bottom of your doors. But yes, if you plan on driving your 8 on a daily basis in the winter, snow tires are a MUST! Either that or get a cheap winter beater.

Is the meet on Friday at the Boneyard? Where is it and what time? Anyone interested in buying a nearly new (about 100 miles on it) non-resonated midpipe for $165?

It's just west of 77 off 82.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&um...&cd=1&resnum=1
I think you'd just take 80, get off onto 77 north, and the first exit is rt 82 (about 2 miles N of 80). Go west on 82 about 5 minutes and the Boneyard is on the right.
If you come down 480 you'd get off at 77 south. Get off on rt 82 W about 5 miles south of 480 (it's a split exit so take the first ramp going to 'Broadview Heights').
You could also just come all the way up 82 but generally that's a little longer and there are lots of cops in North Royalton watching when it gets down to 25.

Yeah, it was a bit loud for me too, plus I would like to have cat to help cut the noise. Some people like the sound, but I'm nearly 36, so it must be my age!

I thought it was the Boneyard in Lyndhurst not Broadview Hts... did it get changed or did I get messed up? And I was planning on getting there around 6 maybe a little after.

It should be a good place for a meet. Probably gonna be a little busy if the 90 degrees and sunny holds up. We may have to park a good ways away from the Boneyard but in the lot.
I think i'll just take 82 all the way out and avoid confusion. Thanks for the info.

I've been sort of keeping an eye out for a mid-pipe, but we'll have to talk about how loud we're talking here... We can talk about tomorrow. But I am interested.
