heh, no kids. Just got married in May. Not going to try until after the 1 year mark.

General kid skills:
  1. Highly efficient recycling center which doubles as a fertilizer maker.
  2. White noise generator.
  3. Female attractor (only when it's new and in silent/sleep mode)
  4. Door stop

those are only a few benefits i can think of offhand. Though i have very little experience with the device, those are some of the standard features of the kid.

Lanka first. And some rubbing alcohol for all the freakin' sap on my car. But I might be able to do a few coats Sunday night. I think it really needs it...

Plus the car needs to look nice for her new wheels.

If you are referring to the 23rd... I'll probably have to pass this time around.

I was gonna call by the end of the week to make sure you were still alive and knew about the meet next week.
I'm very much alive, just lurking in the shadows. Thanks for the concern, though.

Honestly, I was getting tired of swimming in the sea of bullshit that was around here a little while back so I decided to go sit on the shore for a little while. Hopefully that makes sense.

Besides the exhaust is the important part. The people you passed need to hear you - not the people you're passing.
The daily driver thing isn't even an issue. The thing I love about this intake is that it's only loud when you want it to be. Under normal driving circumstances it sounds damn near stock.

While I see your point regarding the exhaust, it is loads of fun creeping up next to someone, hammering the throttle, and scaring the **** out of them.

OK, let's stick with the Plan. Aug 22 at Molloy's. Anyone going to the TU ride, can meet with the other group at Winking Lizard on the 23rd.

Who is this TU group anyway?

Tuners United or something like that. Basically a group of people mixed with people who tune their car for performance and people who rice/pimp out their cars. Put on your nice wheels and some strakes and you'll probably be pimped enough.

Not really my kind of thing but like I said earlier I might swing by since it's down the street from me. I think that's my last Saturday doing anything for a while since the Buckeyes are starting back up so I might be doing something else.

Oh and that DQ is home to the worst maintained putt-putt course in history. I played on it as a kid and it was horrible and I don't think they've done anything to it since.

See...and I look at it the other way. "Nobody" rices out Mazda's and "nobody" really pimps them...so we have to go and represent the general car lover. It will be good to just go for a drive and be part of a large caravan of "nice" cars. They did have that car show last weekend that Brian did win for best import or some crap. So we could just jump in and be head of the class. :P

Nah. He won something because his Shinka was a special edition and no one else had a special edition car. We wouldn't have been in his 'group' tho if the new guy showed up with the Shinka I wonder if they would have had to declare a tie? Clear corners would have given him the win!

I'm sure they'd be shocked if Jon or I showed up. They probably don't know you can get an aftermarket exhaust for a Japanese car that doesn't look and sound like a fart can.

Folgers. You really should do that...

Oh and we don't really have any idea what to expect. I know there were a few cars there that were modded silly but it sounded like most were lightly modded, fun cars. Here's pics from their 2007 event.

Not really, just a bunch of Akron/Canton people that have different models of cars that formed a club. they are very civic minded, as they give back to their community, as they will be helping fallen ploice officers with a cruise on October 4th. They are a nice group, that aren't a bunch of asses

Since Marlon didn't post it. While the c6c logo is really cool and all...it looks funny on an 8 as Ryan has pointed out in the past. So my request has been filled for a non-6 related Mazda sticker that we can display loudly and proudly! So I bring to you...da dada da...



Available to you for the fine price of $5 each in assorted colors, please specify. If anyone does want one from here I will be happy to play middle man for you.

Update: Oh yea...Windshield Banners are also available. I believe Lauri said $40...but don't hold me to it...and they come in sets of 3.
