So you're saying Holly's RX-8 isn't totaled after all?
And good deal on the rug, bear rugs are bad karma.
Anybody going to DGRR?
The 1st gens will be making a showing this year.
It was still drivable but insurance totaled it. I still look at ones for sale from time to time, but perhaps I should finish some of these other projects before taking on any new ones :-)
Did you buy it back, or let insurance take it? If you kept it, any plans for it?
I pondered for a while and eventually let them take it. The buy back price was pretty high, a few hundred less than I paid for the car... Hot and cold starts were getting worse by the day, so I didn't see much value in the motor. It already had a rebuilt title too, so that discouraged me from wanting to sink a lot of time/money into it, when I see decent cars with blown engines for only a few grand . Those reasons plus all the other projects I've got led me to just let them take it. I hope to get another 8 some day, if Tara would let me I'd harass Kristy for that pretty blue R3... haha
is OGTA tonight? and if so, where is it being held now? anyone going?
Yes, OGTA is tonight. 6:30, Hooters Mall of Georgia. I should be there.

I didn't realize the starts were getting worse, otherwise I would have said throw a cheap bumper on it and track car!
Well as soon as this blue turd is gone I'll be back to driving the old RX7 again. Oh boy I can't wait to get rid of this VW. The RX is definitely more my style.
Have you finally seen the light and decided to trade your 7s in for another 8?
Haha, to be honest I really just want the T2's parking space opened back up for the FD :-). I should've made the garage 20' wider! But if I came across a pretty white RX8 for a good deal, I might just jump on it... It was the perfect compromise, a rotary that could do daycare runs for the 3 smaller kids...
I hope the Ghia's price pops in the final 24 hours James!

Congratulations! That was fun to watch. My mustang was like that where it doubled in the last day. Most of the action in the BAT auctions is first and last day when they are in the email. The days I between can be disconcerting for a seller but it usually turns out good in the end.
