Super Sweet

Hey, that is something that I have considered. I don't know if Mazda accepts pics like that, but if they do :D we might just see one if they like it as much as all of you.

Thanx....I'll work on the gunmetal-grey.

request...

Since we are posting requests...

When I first saw the RX8, my immediate reaction was to hate the front. So, how about this.

Can we see what it would look like with a pointier front? Similar to the RX7's or early 90's MR2's? Maybe slide the headlights down a bit?

If you're bored, I'd love to see this, perhaps in a silver.

Requests

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't gotten to all of the requests yet. I will do them as soon as things slow down here at the home front.

Applejax's request for a pointier front is possible. The head lights would be something that you couldn't move on the real car. I'm trying to keep it as realistic as I can. So, I'm pretty much just changing the front bumper and adding on accessories. I can, however, put some lids on the headlights to make them thinner. I'll mess with it and see what I can come up with.

Thanx,

Adam

thanks for the gunmetal grey. I sure hope it comes in a that color.
I really like that.

I have been thinking of painting my FC gunmetal.

and can you change the wheels to the wheels on the green fd.

Death to tacky body claddings!

Yew! That thing looks like an aborted mix between a Pontiac Sunfire and a Fiero! Sorry everybody but I hope that if there is a Mazda Speed RX-8 that they stick to performance modifications that MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE like better suspensions, hotter engines or lighter chassis. Let's all agree that Mazda can leave the tacky body claddings and huge spoilers to Pontiac, OK? Remember boys the RX-8 is supposed to be a sports cars for real growsdups.

OK

OK, Everyone is entitled to there own opinion. Although, if you are going to claim you are an adult, please, learn to spell like one. Real growsdups? Yeah.

P.S. - If you think my spoilers are huge you must really need a head check.

I could spell real good

Ummm...geesh there Sherlock way to pick that one right up. Ever see the movie Swingers? "Our little Mikey is all growsdup and he's growsdup and he's growsdup." was a line at the end of the movie. In other words the misspelling was intentional, sarcastic.

Oh yeah, Windahdah? What is it you drive again??? :D Chicken ****. I've been hankering to find another troll to tease...

Oh yeah, after a bit of research....Suzuki Aerio SX Wagon LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

D Menac 7--

So you went in and did a bunch of research on me?? You obviously have TONS of free time to spend browsing forums and posting WAY too much of your spew. Wow, let me guess....you're one of those FAT LOSERS who never gets laid and derives his sense of cool from his car. Have you installed any BLUE LIGHTS on your rig yet?? I bet you have. I guess that's the only outlet you have for your SPEW, other than your right hand and a bath towel. Pathetic you are young Jedi.

I don't know about you but I think of my car as a mode of transportation, not a fashion statement. I think the Aerio is cool looking, so I guess it's a matter of opinion, the RX-8 is certainly no thing of beauty according to general consensus of what I've read. I don't really feel the need to defend the Aerio, It's a great little car. Make fun of my car if you want GOMER but I can tell you for a few things: 30+MPG, REAL room for 4 and my dog, 2600LBS vs. 2900 LBS. and after the mods I've made it corners great, plus with MORE TORQUE at lower RPM's I'll keep up with you just fine and all at about HALF what you paid. Want to bet on whose engine needs new rings or goes in for unscheduled service first?? Don't forget to dump more oil in that thing every week....Don't worry, I'll give you the finger next time I pass you at the gas pump.

Oh, and as for me I played Outside Linebacker at UC and I kick *** on fat *** losers like you. But I'm sure that someone of your keen intellect went to college (NOT). Chicken **** you ask? No, sorry. How's the weather in Illinois these days? How did an ******* like you become moderator anyway? Great forum, hopefully both you and this forum will die off like the RX-8 is bound to in the near future. Later Loser.

Oh, yeah D MENAC 7...Me: 33 posts. You: 1,595. I did the math, that's 4,833% more posts from you than from me. And I found that out without doing ANY research on you, it's right there by your friggin name. I'm sure I speak for many others on this forum when I ask you to please just go **** off on your **** sites and give this place a break from your verbal SPEW. Have a nice day Mr. "Blue Light Special".

Sorry, I didn't want to "get Personal" as I'm sure he'll accuse me of being. However I don't appreciate being called Chicken ****, that's getting personal if you ask me. Besides people who sell tacky tack on visual cues like this guy are even more incredibly stoopit than the people that actually put them on their cars. Can you say Macho Guido Meathead? Nice spoiler, air dam and Blue Light Lisence plate frame Guido, does that make your car go faster or corner better? No, it just makes you look D-U-M dumb.

You know, has-been fat former linebackers are losers, from what I remember.

Let me see...Fat? Yeah, I am a bit overweight.

Loser? Nope, not I, I have a career in higher education that I have been in for over 23 years now.

Never gets laid? Check my palms, they aren't hairy. I have seen more poonie than you possibly could have in your linebacker lifetime. Still living in the past, I see.

Blue lights on my car...nope, haven't put them on there yet, though I think they would look rather nice, if done correctly and meant for show only. Besides, blue would clash with my Velocity Red.

Deriving a sense of cool from owning this car? Hell yeah, it is a cool car and I feel cool driving it. As far as this being my extension of my man hood and my personality, I was cool before I owned it and will be when I no longer own it for I care not what others think of me, either you like me or take a hike, I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else for that matter.

A bath towel huh? Is that what you use to wipe the slobber off of your chin when you get finished taking your little Aeiro out for a spin with your 3 friends and your lap dog? Oh sorry, you would have to have 3 friends in order to do that Sergeant Carter. Shaaaazaaam!

My car is a mode of transportation as well as yours and I have used little more than a quart and a half of oil in the 10K plus that I have put on it since owning it. Unscheduled maintenance? You might want to look into the dependability of that little Suzuki ride you got yourself there and the history of repairs it's engine and drive train have. They make mods for that thing?? Do they make a larger rubber band or something to that effect? Perhaps maybe you have to lean into a curve to keep from rolling it over on a sharp corner.

As far as giving me the finger when you pass me at a gas station...don't worry, I'll know it's you because the sight of that ugly little Aerio and your pathetic little lap dog begging to be rescued hanging out the window will give you away. I'll have time to drop my pants so you can kiss my plumber's crack, that will be the first time in a long time that you got close to a piece of *** with your two lips.

As for an education, I graduated college with a Bachelor's degree which is more than I am aware of most College Sports All-Stars such as yourself. A legend in your own mind...tsk tsk

The weather in Illinois is nice and balmy right now, a cool 63 degrees Fahrenheit and a bit on the foggy side with a chance of rain. And, by the way, our gas is less than $2/gallon, my $90K home would go for $500K where you live and the beef steak I sit down to eat was corn fed which is some of the tastiest beef known to man kind. Remember one thing about the prairie which you eluded to, we feed you loony Californians.

How did I become a moderator here? It wasn't by being an *******, we have you as an example to measure that by and believe me, I am nothing like you, I have intelligence and tact, I don't spew hatred nor look down my nose at others and make references to them and statements about people I don't know or pretend to know about. You could not have been further off the mark with your assessment of me. Then again, take the word assessment, it's sort of like the word assume, those who make such blindly are sometimes the first half of the word. I don't mock others nor make statements about their cars, lifestyles, clothing, etc. But in your case, I made an exception.

As far as researching you, you were such an easy target to chide out since you have such a high opinion of yourself, much higher than anyone else, mind you. It didn't taKe much research on you to find out what kind of a personality you have and that you have a tendency to boast and seem to "know it all" about everything, including the car you only wish you could own. But then again, you drive such a nice little economy car that you can have your dog ride with you in. I suppose your dog is one of those little lap dogs who sits in your lap and hangs it's sorry little head out the window begging to be rescued by someone who gives a care.

So, in a world full of losers, sounds to me like you are well ahead of the pack with your little Suzuki Sports wagon, none of which I have ever seen in my life driving around the Midwest for I would have remembered such as the sight of that car is quite repulsive. Your torque in the low end little monster of transportation.

What I have noticed over the years is that those who are jealous of others try to console themselves by ridiculing the ones they are jealous of, trying to make others believe they are lower than themselves and make themselves feel good about their less than other's worth. This is usually what a bully is and I can see you have had quite a bit of practice.

So, Mr. former UC linebacker, take a hike, because if you reply with your vileness that spewed forth from your fingers below, there are rules on this forum that are enforced and I am sure that I can identify which you violated and will able to see to it that your browser comes up with a nice little message for you when or if you try to get back on the forum at any future date. :D Nerds rule the Internet.

Lastly...to quote you, yourself...
Win Dada
To my fellow '98 Condors:

Firstly I want to say that the experience of this past season was sublime. Never have we played more as a team. Never have we had such a sweet season. Never has it ended with more heartbreak and pride. Bittersweet success is how I characterize it.

On the bright side there's nothing more motivating than getting that close only to have it slip away. We all have had our whistles whetted now, and like a dog that learns to hunt there's no turning back, no unlearning what we've learned. I hope that all of you are as motivated as I am for next season and the vengeance that is our due. I am making plans now and setting personal goals for the off-season that will make me a more valuable player next season. I would hope and encourage all of you to do the same. Our team must get better, not only because we so narrowly missed the mark, but also because we must assume that the competition will be better. The National Title is a moving target and we must evolve if we want to win.
I guess your '99 season wasn't any better, huh? :D Maybe that is why you are such a bitter person as you weren't able to fulfill those personal goals of yours. BTW, that's windadah@yahoo.com for anyone who wants to know...it's public record, you yourself put it out on the net for all of us to see. Isn't google a great tool. Too bad your doors to your little car are hard plastic too.

I hope that you now have a new avenue for your excrements to flow out from as you sound like you were a bit constipated with all the drivel you put forth and now that I have torn you a new one, maybe you can get some relief and let some of the pressure off your bowels so that it doesn't back up in your mouth and spew forth as you have such on our beloved forum.

P.S. FYI I am 6 ft. tall and weigh close to 300 and am not someone who is afraid of a linebacker, being that I played Defensive and Offennsive Tackle and I could take your head off and serve it to you on a platter Miss Win Da.
