Elara could kick you off for that last statement. But, she is being nice cuz your new. I am not a moderator either. But this is a thread that I started and I would like this to be a place where we can all feel comfortable to post. We would like to have ALL Richmond RX8's to come and post here in comfort. Please don't attack our memebers.

Just like the meets. ALL ARE WELCOMED.
Actually, I was just out shopping for a lamp post :p. However, 9k Rever is correct-please do not attack other members. 1)It makes you look like a jerk and 2)We don't tolerate it. Rx8tee did nothing to deserve being attacked, and I don't want to see it again.

But anyway, back to cars- my 8 is still stuck in the damn parking lot. I'm going to try and get out tomorrow morning, so I can make it to the meet tomorrow night BUT, there's a ton of nasty slush behind it, and I don't know if I can get it out. Don't want to risk anyone pushing on the front end too much and accidently denting something...we'll see what happens.

Well I tried moving my 8 out of my neighborhood again today, and the same thing happened again, getting stuck right as I get out of my driveway. I hope all that junk will melt by tomorrow, now I'm seriously considering ordering some snow tires. I wonder if that Goodyear tire store at the corner of Broad and Gaskins has any snow tires for the 8? I might call them up tomorrow and ask. So now I'm going through rx8 withdraw, since I haven't driven my baby for an entire week! Anyway hope I'll see you all tomorrow.

I'm right there with you- I started her Tuesday and let her run for about 10 minutes, just for the hell of it. Was very depressing that all I could do was sit in her and rev the engine. This is the longest I've gone without driving since I got her. This sucks.

Sorry Elara..got a little ahead of myself. (just didn't want you to close ANOTHER of my threads...)

But, Dragonfruit...you might want to hold of on the tires if you can guy. I mean thats a big investment. We hardly get snow around here man! This is the first and like only snow on of the winter here.

I am holding off so I can get my 17inchers in the spring. I am going to see if I can special order some ADVAN NEOVA tires (mabey impossible but I will try)

My APT finaly cleaned up around here, so I had nary an issue today.

Things may be looking iffy for Friday. Its supposed to snow again.

You know where I stand on the strakes.

I would also say hold off on Canzoomers mod wait till we get some more reports on that.

MP3 is awsome, Tick will show you man...good buy.

I say go for the Rotary Extreme cold air intake, the air dam..and get the HKS exhaust plus 17 inch tires. I think you will be happy with that. It is rumored that the HKS will give you 20 extra HP..wich would be unheard of in a regular engine..but possible with a rotary.

BTW HKS just came out with a new exhaust for the 8, kinda expensive but looks really good:

Numbers? If I worried about numbers, I would not play the lottery!

Lets meet and Eat at the Thai Dinner on W. Broad Next Thursday.

Well, took 10 minutes of pushing and rocking, but finally got the car out of the parking space it was stuck in this morning. Hopefully I'll see you guys tonight.

we're talking about the Thai Diner near Nicks Roman Terrace, right?
