Not really, I venture through there from time to time, but I don't frequent any of those places. I'm driving a Black with the mazdaspeed kit, clear corners, painted side vents and painted calipers.

Thanks, anyone in the area have suggestions on how to improve their rides in the snow, as in which snow tires work well and are most cost effective, I am getting tired of having to drive my eclipse due to the snow...

It seems that most people that drive their 8 in the snow end up getting winter tires. I take a different route...I drive my truck.

I'd be interested in a meet too...i dont have the 8 anymore, but i'd love to see what you guys have done with yours. I'm still happy with the MS6, but everytime i see an RX-8 i think about the old ti-gray machine. ....memories....

MS6 - Mazdaspeed 6. The 8 was rear ended back in december...pretty banged up. I ended up trading it in for the speed6. im really happy with the new ride, the power is awesome and the handling is very close to the 8....its also a lot more practical, but it doesnt look as good as the 8...thats for sure
