You guys local to Malibu will have to carry it on for a little while. I may have time during the summer to catch up with you guys.

I'm a little burned out of Malibu, for right now....and then there is gas prices.

Yeah it kinda sucks, if I could I would have a malibu cruz twice a month but i guess everything has to come to an end. Anyways I will be selling my 8 shortly so we should have one last big meet.

Well I got her a 02 WRX wagon, because the 8 was getting to small for me with the kids in it and we like the convinience of a wagon. Well I found me a good deal that I couldn't refuse.

I had a friend with a WRX wagon that was modded. He was trading it. So he need it to put it back to stock. So intrade of stock parts and labor I got me a set of Cusco coil overs, a TBE 3" exhaust, bigger turbo fuelsystem upgrade and ECU with no money out of the pockets. I sold the turbo, fuel upgrade and ECU. We were going to sell the 8 then she said that she is to attached to the 8 to sell it. If I wanted to sell it I had to work magic and giver something as unique as the 8. This is where my magic was coming in. I told her "okay I get you a FD" but that didn't work since she stil needs the room for the kids which the fit perfect in the 8 if I'm not in it. One thing about being unique I was driving the 8 today and I was in a stop light. I looked around and I see like 2 or more of the same car (ie 2 escalades, 3 3 series BMWs etc) and I was glad that I was the unique one.

So to answer you question, I let her have it but I lost it at the same time.

yeah one big meet this summer like jedi suggested would be great. why are you selling your 8?

haha honda it still seems like the 8 was never the car for you and you've been destined for the RX-7 the whole time...it just seems that way from your post...

i dunno why, but lately i'm very much infatuated w/ the saturn sky (pontiac solstice) and am tempted to trade in the beamer for the gxp version of the sky when it comes out... that is probably the only car on the road that, in my opinion, resembles the 8 in style & uniqueness. but, if they ever become a dime-a-dozen, i guess i might change my mind...

you're looking at getting rid of your bimmer? or you're only getting rid of it if you get the sky/solstice?

what kinda bimmer is it? like, what series, yr. etc.
