    Yep... that was my car. In fact, that photo I posted was from the same day: Best Motoring American Touge 2. The video company put it out on the Hot Version label.

    Scary or not, we set the fastest lap time in our class... although I tend to agree that the car is in fact scary.

        i like rx-8s because of: rotary (bummer if seals are still an issue.. but stellar powerplant in regard to it's size and weight), the rear 'half' door, and interior styling.


        and of course, everyone knows 4runners are invincible..

        here’s my ‘other car’:
        ’88 Integra LS special






        purchased in spring of ‘95 w/ 63K mi. It now has over 240K mi.
        ST sways, short-shift lever, momo pedals, and exhaust tip
        it is otherwise unmolested and has been incredibly reliable.
        oil changes 3 times every year
        have always done my best to stay on top of preventative maintenance
        Original CV joints lasted until 230K mi.
        it has struck/killed two deer.
        recent hwy mileage reading: 32 mpg
        guess you could call it my ‘college car’ (been with me for 4 different colleges and 3 different states of residency) I blame Iowa gravel roads and 18 winters for its awful corroded condition.

        once inside it though, I’ve always been fond of it’s interior

        (original floor mats)

        when I first purchased it, I loved it for about 5-6 years – then was real disappointed to watch it deteriorate – then came around to enjoying it again. I mean.. fuck it. It doesn’t have any value, and not caring if it gets in an accident is a luxury in itself. It's weird how it's still fun to drive.

        These pics were taken last week. Was planning on selling/salvaging it – but I’ve decided to ride it for one more winter – then I’ll get rid of it. (honest – the 18is should be done by spring anyway)

        Since some have mentioned past vehicles..
        This is a ’72 Honda cb350 that I recently brought back to life. New tires, battery, plugs, points, filters, fluids, swing-arm bushings. Cleaned carbs. Was the first motor I set the timing and valves on. Good learning experience. Good times.
        Upon purchase:


        (before/after pics)


















        sold it to my mother (of all people (she had one when she was younger)) last spring.



        and I will always lament the loss of my duc

        (insurance payout (left-turning woman) did finance most of ongoing 318 project though ;) )

          What is fuel economy? :grin: Everyone comments on that when I am driving that truck. I avg about 13MPG when I run it in town. Trust me I know, people give me shit all the time, they either love it, or hate it. I get about 50% waves 50% Middle fingers....

          Believe it or not, it goes off road. I have had it totally covered with mud many times. I am not a pansy with it. There are little odds and ends I have done to it, and plan on bringing it to the moab next summer. :D

            SOLID REAR AXEL !! ? ! ?


            Solid rear axle.
            It's a Mustang GT. It goes BRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM!!
            That's why I like it.

            On the other hand, I like snapping around corners at 85+ so BMW independent rear suspension FTW!

              and the 528e that had major issues after being stolen

                i dont think Im gonna be able to track it this year though. i have just enough money for rearsets, hotbodies, cluster, stay, and sliders, but cant afford a steering damper.

                I would have had enough $, but all my buddies went to Mid Ohio today, but I had to work, so I have to drive alone tomorrow morning, and get my own hotel room sat and sun night (cant skip monday night, its always insane partying with the racers)

                I'm buddies with a guy who could possibly get a championship in formula xtreme (its a 3 way run right now, and he just qualified for third. I think he can pull it!) so if he wins a championship everyone's gonna go fucking crazy!


                if i can get either my 01 r6, or some of my spares for it sold (wheels, raintires, pipe, damper, rearsets) I'll have the money, but the guys I ride with are doing beaverun on the 8th and/or cayuga on the 9th, so I'm not sure I'll have my shit together in time

                  jason disalvo? thats cool man. hes a great rider. it would be cool to see eric bostrom take it all, too.
                  check out sharkskinz, too. i have a set on my bike and they fit really well. really high quality fiberglass.
                  i've got a 2 day trackday coming up on the 7th and 8th close to sacramento. my neighbor has a triumph 675, and our other buddy has a 636, too. it will probably be the last trackday for us this year, too.
                  if you can swing it, you should try to make the pilgrimage out here for moto gp at laguna. you've never seen or heard anything close to a moto gp bike until you've seen them live. utterly amazing.

                    Mine check out fine when I brought in for the recall, dealership said that it is mostly the auto's that are crapping out. FYI.
