hey everyone!
Hello to everyone who's responded! I'm glad to see so many people around here. That's cool! I dont know why it excites me to see another 8 on the road. I think my husband is getting tired of the finger pointing and yelling "There's an 8!!!" So, if you see me grinning and waving, just wave back and I'll go away

Hey Josh! Do you do any watersports at the lakehouse you mentioned, or is it strictly R&R? My husband and I go to his parents lakehouse on Lay Lake. We love to wakeboard, waterski, whatever.

Mr. Wilson- let us know how the exhaust turns out. I ended up spending part of my tax return on an Ipod and all the crap to get it installed in the car. I cant wait to get it in the car in a couple of weeks.

Hey ONO....I'm meeting a forum member up towards the tail of the dragon on saturday. I'll probably make a couple of passes after I get my exhaust installed early saturday a.m.
I'm down for a cruise whenever we can organize something. We're starting to get a few more 8's now in the birmingham area. Maybe we can all get meet up.......

Get together??
There seems to be interest in a get together of some sort..dinner or a cruise? Anybody want to throw out ideas? Maybe get together some time in April? Weekends are better, I am assuming. What part of town is convenient for everyone? Hwy 280, Hoover? Give me feedback and we can set something up!

Hey Screamin'...........i work in sylacauga (and yes.....it's red).
Anytime during the weekend is normally good for me. Maybe we could do a lunch/cruise somewhere on a saturday......ideas anyone?? The 280 area is better for me, but I could go wherever's best for the masses.
