And get pulled over a lot. racing on the street is pretty stupid really, at least when many other cars are around. But at the very least it makes even a regular drive more fun. That and it's not really that hard to get on the track...which is way more fun, mainly because other people don't tend to get in your way.

[QUOTE=oliv_da_skinmasher;15948073]So why you buy it. Its a mazda[/QUOTE]

Not buying Mazdas because they are cheap econoboxes is a thing of the past. Since the new millenium started, Mazda's new image of "inspired, insightful, imaginative" pretty much kicked out the old image.

Go drive any performance category Mazda (MazdaSpeed6, MazdaSpeed3, Mazda MX-5, Mazda RX-8) and you'll find that each and every car has soul and passion put into it.

[QUOTE=The Mites;15948075]F[SIZE="2"]u[/SIZE]ck sake. I'd kill for that thing. RX8s are fu[SIZE="2"]c[/SIZE]kin gorgeous![/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=enemytopublic2;15948292]i love the look of the RX-8[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=bobby__johnny;15948296]RX-8's are sick cars. :thumb:[/QUOTE]

Thanks. :p

[QUOTE=enemytopublic2;15948078]whats wrong with mazda?

is that an rx-8?[/QUOTE]

Yes, it's a 2005 RX-8 6SPD MT.

[QUOTE=oliv_da_skinmasher;15948081]Nah not really

That is gorgeous[/QUOTE]

Hey, I like Mustangs too, at least the old ones. The newer ones were gay, though the latest generation seems to have an "X-Factor" about it.

IMO, RX-8 vs Mustang are two different stories. Like comparing oranges and apples.

[QUOTE=TTTSNB;15948143]It's an rx8- one of the best track type cars out there. It might not be as good as say a mustang in straight line speed, but as soon as it hits a corner, it's much, much better. Besides, the only cool mustangs are the old ones, like that Boss 429 you posted. New ones are a bit lame honestly.[/QUOTE]

True that. These days I do AutoCross, HPDEs, RallyCross etc. etc. and the RX-8 seems to have taken it all without complaint. You can throw it into a corner, and it will never bite back.

[QUOTE=oliv_da_skinmasher;15948278]I don't wanna race tho lol. I wanna look cool. But seriously in realistic terms MOST people do not need fast cars[/QUOTE]

I didn't buy it for looks. I bought it to race, drift and participate in motorsports in general.

Cool looks, comfort, technologically advanced, brotherhood (this car comes with it's own brotherhood among other rotary heads). These are all just bonuses.

work today was sweet. i danced up a storm.


i had to pay my credit card bill after work ($979.67), and it didn't seem way too bad. then i looked at a wad of $970 at work and i was like :( lame.

dothackRAVE 02-07-2008 03:26 AM

Work today was sweet for me too. It was my first day on the job as Student Security Patrol. Lots of fun writing parking tickets for people, and patrolling campus.

The Mites 02-07-2008 03:27 AM

How did you get in to racing?

dothackRAVE 02-07-2008 03:38 AM

[QUOTE=The Mites;15950284]How did you get in to racing?[/QUOTE]

Well, initially it was a desire to get into that whole drifting scene.

Let's just say I was quite naive to even think about starting straight from drifting. It's like starting double bass when you can't even play the drums yet.

I discovered the long journey to mastery of the car, so I decided to go do stuff. AutoCross, RallyCross, track days, whatever I can get my hands on.

Soon enough, I began to really enjoy all these activities, and boom, I love racing.

Win A Rabbit 02-07-2008 04:06 AM

so, new guitar

BummerJonny 02-07-2008 05:17 AM

hmm, so the first of march gig is gonna be a strain on my wallet now.

i promised myself i'd buy tomas kalnoky a drink, and now Neil from SB6 wants one as well, cos its his birthday

Drum Phil 02-07-2008 05:20 AM

Two drinks is hardly a strain.

BummerJonny 02-07-2008 05:42 AM

shh, you had a job.

plus i have to fund my jager habit.

i have the evening planned out nicely:

watch sb6, have a drink, watch SLM, have loads of drinks, buy people drinks, get rat-arsed, manage to enjoy RBF as i'm pissed:P

Drum Phil 02-07-2008 05:48 AM

Past tense.


Also, you really shouldnt insult random people on ebay. The account you messaged wasnt mine, so you got reported.

BummerJonny 02-07-2008 06:08 AM

lol

oh well, i never use that account anyways...

Drum Phil 02-07-2008 06:18 AM

I dont even know what you did :p I was just told to pass along the message if i knew you.

BummerJonny 02-07-2008 06:37 AM

something about new rocks being ****...

Snarz 02-07-2008 10:07 AM

So I moved my drumset down to the basement, its a half finished basement with a dehumidifyer(sp?lol)
and its on carpet.The set is faced towards a wall so will it affect the sound by much?

BummerJonny 02-07-2008 10:08 AM

yep. it will. but for practise its not really important.

however, if its only a partition wall as opposed to a wall with solid earth behind it, it'll carry the sound through your house :/

Snarz 02-07-2008 10:29 AM

Well its in the basement so on the other side of the drywall there will be a little bit of wood then the concrete formation then the earth.

BummerJonny 02-07-2008 10:34 AM

ah, thats fine :)
