How about I create a different spelling with it making it ducKT tape to please everyone?


I am even to mean for the leghumpers to come out that's funny. I am not complaining though because I rather them hide.



As far as car hunting goes... Haven't found much, trying to avoid 04 and silver as much as possible but it seems to be most of what I am finding.. I have found three I am going to look more into within the next few days maybe it'll work out... any suggestions as to what to look for specifically or engine wise besides it being original engine and paperwork as well as receipts for car history, oil changes and etc..... Would be helpful to know

wow

 

why texas!?

 

make sure all recalls are up to date (i think i worded that right)

 

You called?

How did i miss this? Too busy at work lately I guess.


HELLO RACH!!!!


Good luck on your 8 hunt. Have you driven one yet at least? As warned before, it is addicting. Def. get in touch with the SARX guys. They'll keep you pointed in the right direction. Maybe.

 

Why CA?






HELLO Fuztupnz!!!!


Have not gotten lucky enough to test drive one yet, have only been browsing, my loan finally cleared on my truck so now I am able to hunt. Hopefully I can stay in touch with most people on here because everyone is truly a big help.

I am clueless but interested so hopefully within time after getting one I will be able to say I am some what better experienced. Been reading threads and information like crazy as well as taking input in wherever I can.

I like to "give input" whenever I can!


Sorry, sometimes i can't help myself.

 

Lol that's alright makes it less boring sometimes.

 

Giggitty Giggity goo

 

down Fuz, down!!!
try the "for sale" threads on here and craigslist

 

Hey now, hey now. At least let me ask for pix first


So Rach, got an pictures of yourself that you'd like to share? You know so we can see if you'd look cute in an 8 and all.

 

Welcome and Good luck with the buy. You should come down to San Antonio some time during one of our get togathers.

There are actually two local members that drive "guy" cars. One person even named his car Raul.

 

I have tried here, auto trader, craigslist, and have only been finding handfuls around where I am.



Once I get my 8 hoss I will try to make a trip down there to check it out, San Antonio isn't to far.




I do have pictures and I will post a few..... if you explain to me on how to do it because I have tried and can't seem to

 

^ PM me your email and I will post them for you

Actually, my understanding is that it was originally called "duck tape" in military parlance before it was ever applied to duct work.

 

Easiest way is to use the little mountain icon and paste the address of an a pic already online (photobucket, flicker, etc)

Picture links are broken (oh the irony) but the directions are still easy to follow.

I grew up in San Antonio, have a brother in Dallas but I am in Northern Ca now. I like Texas, when I am fed up with California Texas is near the top of my short list of places to move.

Your right, mostly 04's and not a lot of lower miles cars. But I found a few. Test driving a forum members car and having an experienced rx8 owner check out cars with you will help you make the right choice.

In San Antonio:

A good deal on an 05 with 43K miles, but its sunlight silver: http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/cto/2440375481.htmlnl

Or an 08 with 70K miles. More money, higher miles in Galaxy Gray http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/cto/2395909495.html

Dallas/FW:

On 06 white with 31K miles http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/2427055809.html

Hurst Texas:
06 Black 25K miles http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/cto/2440887364.html

 

Going back to the beginning, it was developed in Holland by putting glue on the back of "doek" which is Dutch for a kind of very durable cotton fabric. Transliterated to English it became "duck," and the fabric is still called that. The tape name eventually munged into "duct" which is kind of funny because it's not the right stuff to use on ductwork.

The randomness of topics that can be generated in any thread on this forum are astounding

 

Here is a few pics to your request...






























Do I belong in an 8?








Here is what I used to drive until it was totaled thanks to people racing behind me at a red light not knowing how to use their brakes and pushed me into two other cars


RIP Olivia












Want pics after wreck let me know...




And thank you highway I will look more into them..

 

Nice truck.

Welcome.

 

Congrats, I see you were able to post pics.

 

PICS YAY

I think you'd do an 8 justice. In it or on it

 

Wow Ken I didn't know hat and I'm Dutch lol! A "doek " is a rag basically. A hand towel is a "handdoek" and a handkerchief is a "zakdoek" or pocket rag literally translated.

I'm impressed
