If you are insanely bored, look at his Holiday BBQ thread in the West section.

Sweet!!

We sell RV parts. I use to work for Weekend Warrior trailers for over 10yrs as the purchasing manager. They went out of business in August this year, and people still need parts for their trailer. So I decided to sell the parts that they used to the dealers, and some retail customers. We really are a parts distributor, specializing in WW and Rage'n parts. Check out the website. It's up and running, but soon to change to the style I would like. We just wanted something to be up since we are getting a lot of hits off GOOGLE.

I test drove the 09 RX-8 sport model. The dropped gearing made all the difference. It really felt a lot different than the original design. I definitely want one as a daily driver when I get out of school. That way I'll keep the FC as a weekend car, and have an FD too.

Hey come on, an FD is a reasonable weekend car, not too far out of reach!

Haha. Actually my dream is to own an FD with the stock twins, and an FD with an N/A 20B. But the 20B is just a dream

the FD is a great car. I refuse to say anything bad about it other then its not the best car for soemone that does not like to work on cars. other then that, it awesome.


the Viper has some pretty kick *** prestige (spelling) to it. it may not be the best car in the world, but it sure is cool. I would own one in a heart beat.

it sure does drop those panties as well!

Jesse, are those model years the 400 (or was it 450) hp? I know they upped it to 500, then recently to 600. And yellow paint with twin black stripes would be incredibly sexy. I want a ride in it when you get one. But I haven't even gotten a ride in the Evo yet!

^^^^ anytime you want a ride in the evo.. just lemme know... lol

and the horsepower was 400 from like 92-98 and then they bumped it to 450.. or something close to that.... so id like to get a later model so i have the extra 50 ponies... but this is still 2-3 years away.. gotta pay down on the evo so im not upside down on it first
