Dip...isn't that chewing tobaco?

I think he means definition #2.

Did you guys ever play with Barbie doll when you were young?

Friendlydacat

Ooops, sorry wrong forum.

I apologize to all that may have been offended.

racefan

No.




Wasn't sure what he meant so I had to look it up. Apparently others here were a little confused as well. I don't think I would have used that word though.

Friendlydacat

I did at one time but I was dissappointed in the detail of the action figure....obviously, you can't get any action.

but you can still rub barbie and ken together really fast and eventually they will fuse into a plastic blob of sinful bliss

Friendlydacat

Do you guys think Barbie would look good in a Canary Yellow Honda S2000?

someone is selling a 2007 with 94 miles for 29500, I'm tempted.

I'm being like Tom

I can't decide.

racefan

Did you run a carfax on the S2000? Something has to be wrong with it.

Don't be like Tom by going to the Dark Side.

For you Barbie fans out there in RX8 land.

I can't believe we are discussing Barbie. Slow day?

At least I did something outside today. Great weekend to drive. Spent it on the coast and hills.

Friendlydacat

It's a dealer car, new, with 94 miles.


94 miles

I like this version better.

racefan

Ok.

I thought it was a private seller.

I have seen only a few S2000 on the freeway.

Yellow isn't a good color. I wouldn't buy a yellow car.

Friendlydacat

Yellow stands out so that you will never get hit. I actually like yellow. I like the way the car drives--it's similar to the RX-8, but but in open air. I would have bought this instead of the 350z if they had this price six months ago. All I have to do is sign the paperwork, but I told the dealer let me sit on it for a day or so.

I guess nobody likes yellow.

Friendlydacat

Alright, at around 12:30am this morning, saw a silver RX-8 on HW9 near Saratoga going towards HWY 35.....

Anyone

Anyone?

You back in town David?

I ran Mount Hamilton this Sunday. Got some beautiful sunset pictures, I'll post those later.

Road condition going up is ok, up until about a 1/4 mileor so from the summit. I think the recent snowfall brought a lot of sand down on the road. Had a scary moment where I lost traction on all 4 wheels on a 180 degree turn.

But good run, I enjoyed it. Like I said decent condition, relatively little gravel except for the last 1/4 mile, no potholes. Used up a lot of my car Karma tho, had to pass some slow *** people.

Going back down though... a couple of quick dips/potholes in the road that you gotta watch out for. Was going at a decent clip, and scared the **** out of me.

It was a good drive. Met some friendly dudes riding Harleys at the peak. Had a Miata try to keep up with me on the way down but he just couldn't handle the turns as quick, saw him flip out his rear a couple of times when he probably didn't need to.

there is one by Tracy. sometime they have drift events there, go look on some 240 forums, they are more drifters lol s-chassis.com i think.

Oh yea Dick, so my roomie and I are thinking of getting Rockband for the 360. You know if Play n Trade has it in stock?

iTrader: (1)

PnT does have RB for 360 in stock.

Today while I was picking up some parts from our anodizing shop, I saw some old asian woman driving a silver 8 with the RB lip spoiler, aftermarket wheels, and an aftermarket exhaust.

Yup, got back yesterday at 10:30p. I finally got Assassins Creed and damn... it's fun. I bought it used from GS for $35, I had a 25% off coupon. I just want to get home from work and play now . How is your new suspension setup?

I went to a car show called, "Coffee and Cars" at Mazda Headquarters and there was like 10 million worth of cars there. A few GT500, the lemans GT40, a couple '67 shelbys, a ton of Ferrari's, atleast 5 F430's, 1 Enzo, and a few older models. Lots of Lamborghini's. And one Skyline R33. I was the only Rx8 there, got a pic taken by the people there!!!.

Asians Creed? Haha, what, do you have to kill people with chopsticks and rice in that game?

Assassins Creed is pretty bad ***. I had a lot of fun, the animations are slick, it's almost as fun watching someone play as it is to play that game.


My suspension was nice. Tight, no body roll. Only time I ever lost traction at all was on the sandy patches. Scared the **** out of me.

LOL.. corrected... Yea... I got the boot leg version. There's one level where you fight through a Dim Sum Restaurant. Sui Mai are pretty deadly.

I think you need better tires too, you are still running on stocks right?

dontfeedthenerd

Yea I'm still on stocks. I'll swap it out along with my rims once I get bald.

You're right tho, my limiting factor are my tires right now. Still fun as hell to drive tho. Took my boss for a ride the other day.

Friendlydacat

Do you have the Cusco setup? I need better tires. I kept on slipping on hwy 9/hwy 35/backroads last night.

So I drove the 350z all day Saturday, and the RX-8 on Sunday night....there's no substitute. My general impression is that the 350z always has this "lag" on response time whether its pressing on the gas pedal, breaks, shifting, or turning. The RX-8 was just perfect--similar to the S2000....
