Your in Irvine and it's the closest? Are you sure about that? I think Temecula would be closer and you get to drive Ortega Hwy in your 8. A dangerous road becuase of the idiots but fun to drive...

They don't have Indian gaming in OC?

For me, Morongo or San Manuel is a wash since they are both about the same distance. There is a back twisty road between my house and San Manuel :D

the only casino in temecula is pechanga, and that one is 21 and over. theres a few casinos south of san diego, barona, viejas, sycuan, etc. those are about the same distance, ~120 miles. morongo is the closest one to me.

lol indians in OC? the only tribe we have here is "the white men". just watch that bomb azz show "the oc". or go rent the movie "orange county"

I never knew the Indian Gaming places were 18. I've been over 21 for so long and even when I was under 21 I had an id or was never carded.

TheDosDog: Randy

DosDog is from my programming days. I was reluctant to move into the worderful world of windows and instead preferred to code in DOS. I was coined DOSDOG.

AGE: 43

LIVING SITUATION: Married with children

LOCATION: Napa, Ca

JOB: Operations Manager for a private seaport in NorCal. Worked at the Mazda POE for 10 years 83-92

HOBBIES: Waterski and air chair, camping, boats & cars

Why RX-8? : I love the rotary. It may not be the perfect power plant (obvious from all the complaints on this forum) but it has a character that is unlike any conventional motor. I know it can flood and how to make sure I don't do it. It may idle a little rough but so what, its a rotary. Even with all its quirks there is still nothing else that compares. When it came time to replace my comute car my wife said get something you would enjoy driving (big mistake, but isn't she wonderful?) I had seen the 8 at the Fall car show at Moscone Center and had to have it. It was in my driveway by the end of the month.
