Like Susan, I went to the web for an image, but here's a near copy of my "8". Fourth, and best, Mazda I've owned, and the first brand new car I've owned in 25 years.

PS: A couple of weeks ago my friend's girlfriend
asked me if I knew what was the difference between
a Porsche and a Porcupine ...... I'm still trying to
figure it out
I'm sure you've figured it out already Mike. I think she must have been upset with you, see below for the answer, incase you're still wondering...
In the case of a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside. So I think she was insulting you.

165,000 miles and going strong. We have a lot of Summer fun practically living out of this SUV; camping, biking, hiking, festivals and all. Also very good in Wisconsin Winters. Very practical and comfortable vehicle.

Nice weiner car! Here's how I roll if I need to be on 4 wheels. At sea level with 93 octane fuel and boost map I was pushing out 300 bhp and 290 lb/ft of torque! She flies...for a car!

"The best is a "rain demo". In the rain, the tires slip very predictively and can actually maximize the car's acceleration without being overwhelmed with all wheel traction. In other words, I can slide the car, and while all fours wheels slide in a drift, the turbo continues to spool smoothly and when the tires completely hook up, the turbo is at full spool at max torque...it's like being shoved sideways and then shot off an aircraft carrier!! She's a good car!
Edit: Sorry Deleted the first part of your post, mistaken the edit button for the qoute button damnit. Im really sorry it's getting late...

Haa haa!! Thanks Kris...oh, and here is a picture of my wife (P.S. She's the Director of QA and Tech Support at Electric Rain http://www.erain.com/ so she's pretty damn smart too!)
Yeah, I'm a lucky dude. Funny thing is, the harder I work, the luckier I get!
Cheers,

I KNEW IT!
hot wife on bike no less...
-
Somebody owes you a hundred bucks!
Oh yeah, we have dogs, no kids...but they're pretty smart ones! My wife does agility with our Blue Healer/Husky mix, and the other is a Sheltie...a real cutie!By the way, those wooded shots where back in Massachusetts...but there are trees here too.
We live well...work very hard, play just as hard and treat everyone we meet with respect and kindness. Humility is one of life's best gifts.
I'm happy to share my good fortune with my friends! If you're ever in Boulder, you've got a friend!
Cheers,

The way you describe it already gives me that; shift and burn rubber feeling, sounds more than awesome.

Thanks Rob! It's my favorite way to enter a main street from a stop with a wet road and a new passenger!
They start breathing again after a few seconds!

my real father lives in Pagosa Springs... although he partakes in a line of work I don't much agree with... he's a big game hunting guide, in the Iron Worker off season. I guess it's the Tsalagi in us, but I just don't see a reason to kill wild animals unless you're starving.
so now I have a reason to go to Colorado... and now I have a friend... can I call you at home? I've never had a friend before. can we be bestest friends? I will love him, and pet him, and I will call him George...
btw, have you been to, I think it's called "devils head" or "devils face" fire look out station?
respect and humility huh... I should try that... then maybe people won't call me jerk all the time... lol

- CraigDI only had that happen to me once, I was a passenger in my uncle's car it was something like this car:
Well no problem with that car it doesn't go all that fast or anything, does accelerate fast.
However my uncle was a pro-go cart driver, and he drove some serious carts back in his day, and that driving style he adopted during his career of go-carting found it's way into his normal driving style.
When we took that roundabout he was near the edge of a drift, and I mean VERY much near the edge, and he was actually gaining on several cars on that roundabout, he managed to find his way from the most left lane to the utmost right line (four lanes) during some pretty heavy traffic in that 3/4 of a circle we were making on that roundabout. It wasn't even that big of a roundabout and he slammed on it with 80kmph, I nearly shit myself then. But he had full control all of the time it was so awesome
