Last night I went to the "infamous" In-N-Out bring what you got type of deal, here in Turlock, Ca. Sad to say I haven't been to one in three years when I had a Integra. As I was walking down the isles I saw the expected, Hondas Ford Acura Subaru Mitsubishi and Miatas, not Mazda"s", just Miatas. It then hit me that there needed to be an actually cool car in the mix. So I brought my 8.

I was 1 of 2 there, the other one being a 06 GT completely stock and who said he liked it but is trading it for a truck (I got sad). If there are any 8's out there, I would like to extend my hand to you and invite you to show up.

The funny part was they were asking me if it was a V6 or V8. I realize now how ignorant people are yo learning about different engines.

CHEERS!

Lol, that is a pretty sad deal, it's pretty funny that the people who are most familiar rotaries are the older crowd as they were at the prime of rotaries especially all generations of the rx7's. Most younger people know very little of the rotary engine and the most exposure they will get in main stream media is initial d or if a new rotary is introduced which still may not make it to the younger crowd. We are definitely a dying breed, i would say less that 10% of up and coming tuners will be familiar with rotaries.

Possibly, currently I am in Hawaii for work (yes it's still work) and won't be back until the first week of February but we could definitely work something out. What color is your 8? I'm wondering if I've seen it around.

You may be right about being a rare sighted LY in the Modesto Area. So far I've spotted a dozen SS, two SS and one BB but no LY. Ive wanted to check one out, hopefully we can set up a meet up when I'm back in the 209.

I don't know where to post this,

I am looking for a nice guy to help me do some mechanic on my 2009 RX8.
I am in the south bay area.
If someone is around here, and want to get $100+ to help me for some labor, I would appreciate it
