I'm either driving the BMW or a minivan on a daily basis. The RX-8 is my wife's daily driver and what we currently use in autocross. (I used to autocross the BMW before we got the RX-8.)
Her previous car was an S2000, which we also autocrossed. She gets all the fun cars.

Spotted two 8s today around 9 headed south on the 880. One was red with appearance package, looked to be a chick, but couldn't tell for sure since the cell phone was blocking her head. The other was red also, but was completely stock. I was in my scraper.

I see the same chick on 880 all the time. BTW I wouldn't really consider the malibu a scraper (no chrome twenties, not a olds or a buick, nor suction tips).

I think you should put other Pokemon characters on the minivan and the Bimmer..haha. Then we can call you the Pokemon man instead of the Pikachu man. haha.

The minivan has a (much smaller) pikachu on the rear windshield. As for the bimmer, I like it just the way it is. Actually I take that back--it could use a supercharger, but aftermarket stuff for BMWs is so expensive that every time I start thinking about it I then start to imagine how much more that same money would buy for an RX-8.________

Saw a VR on 9/5, with RX-8 Club decal on rear-side window, pull in right behind my SS at Royal Motors Service Dept. I was there for the recall... you too?

I'd say it's time to start considering another karting event. Not this weekend but maybe next.

If she was really cute, why would she hide here pretty face under those sunglasses, huh? My two cents..haha. Man, I almost traded in my RX-8 for IS250 at Fremont Lexus today. They were only going to give me $12K for RX-8 with 42k miles on it, since they realized it was rear ended last year with $8k worth of damage. I only like the IS250 cuz it was so high tech inside with the start button, Nav, and rear back up camera. But good thing I didn't buy it today, i think I would of regret it. That car out the door was close to $48k... while my RX-8 (sport w/ appearance kit) cost me out the door $31k.
