Just a quick update. Currently about 122,000 miles. Headed for CT to visit my brother and go to Lime Rock next week. Last race for the RX-8s
Should end up being about 1,500 miles on that trip when all is said and done. Then, it's off to Tennessee and Alabama at the end of October. That should be another 1,100 or so miles.
It will be eight years next week!

Over the weekend, I replaced the front air dam on my car. The original factory air dam had a few scrapes on the bottom (not visible unless you crawl under the car) but I also scraped up one of the corners when I pulled in too close to a curb. If anyone local is interested in a slightly damaged OEM air dam in velocity red, let me know. It is yours for FREE. Local pick up only....will not ship.

Well hey all!... I'm a new(ish) transplant from the Cincy/NKY group. Moved up to Westerville back in May, and I work out in Easton (and sometimes off Cleveland Av). So if anyone's seen an 09 R3, then that'd be me.
Here's hoping this place will be a bit more lively in the coming days!

Back from Lime Rock. A bit chilly, but a good time anyway. I think my brother has couple of pics from our parade laps. I'll post them up when he gets back from vacation. Meanwhile here we are lined up ready to go.

As far as having someone do it for you, I know some people have used the rx7store

Well tomorrow is my last day contracting there, unfortunately. For the next 3 weeks I'll be making the hour-long commute to the Honda plant in Marysville. Lovely.

Back from the southern trip. Just clicked over 126,000 on the way in this morning. Oil change time!
Here's a pic at the entrance to our property in Tennessee. It's on Douglas Lake for anybody familiar with the area. Still a few years away, but we're making plans.

Apparently today was a good day to get your 8 out. Saw 4 of them on the way home. Sunlight Silver was heading West on 33 into Marysville, BB was heading 33 East into Dublin, Another SS turned onto Cleveland from Polaris Pkwy, and a TI Gray was heading past Meijer on Polaris Pkwy.

Speaking of which, I hate to get it done at Valvoline (since they don't use the Mazda S2 filters we're supposed to), but they're they first place I've taken it to that I didn't have to tell to use conventional 5W-20. Slightly impressed. But then it came back to reality when they took 15 minutes to find my filter :/

So which one of you had the Sunlight Silver parked outside the Rave tonight? I ended up in the row in front of you, and your car was gone by the time I got out of the movie.

Had Byers send me a friendly email trying to buy my car today lol. Said I could bring it in to have it appraised. Kind of tempted, but it really doesn't matter since I wouldn't give it up anyway.
I finally bought winter tires now that I have to drive more than a mile to work. Makes a world of difference really, should have just done it back when I got the car and saved myself some headache.

Anyone Live Near Dayton Ohio? I just got myself a 2009 R3 in Aura Blue. I'm looking for some locals who just want to Meet up or to share some events sometime at which I can join in on the brotherhood!

I'd like to join in sometime soon. I've been at an MBA event all weekend though. I also still have my snow tires on the car, hoping to get those changed out soon as it looks like the weather is finally on a permanent upswing.

I'd love for a weekend cruise sometime. So far this place has been pretty inactive and I haven't seen anything about a meetup around here.
Also, I keep seeing someone in a Sunlight Silver GT on 315 N near 270. Has a "Save the ring" bumper sticker or something similar. Wouldn't happen to be any of you, would it?
