Only small stuff, usually only myself and another 8.

Let me know if something's going on and we'll hook up.
Who knows? Maybe become an inspiration to the other guys!

Sounds good. And likewise, post up if you know anything happening. Im pretty busy during the summer, but I can probably make it out to something.

Very cool, I'm down there a lot too (most of the time, work related). I'll have to let you know when I'm back down there in my 8.

I need to get to Lester too...

The new RX8 in town
I never saw any RX-8s in Charleston til I bought mine in January, now they are everywhere. I have a '05 Brilliant Black that can be seen running around Kanawha City or back and forth to South Ridge from time to time.

Its getting ready to go into the shop to fix the hail damage from a few weeks ago, but with summer on the way I see more road time in its future.

Hey, are you the other BB that I've been flashing at?

I got bombed in the hailstorm 2 weeks ago at work. I survived.
We'll have to hook up and crash a car show or something!!!

I haven't noticed anyone flashing lights at me, but I tend to get lost in the drive.

We get enough of the forum together in one place, we can start our own car show. I just want to get mine so that it doesn't look like someone took a shotgun to it.

The car definitely survived, and other than the hood, it doesn't look too bad. The hood however looks bad enough to upset me. I just gotta finish arguing with the insurance to get it back to the near showroom it was.
