Where are you? In Va Beach or Richmond? There are some great car groups in both areas. Hope we see you at some with a new 8 soon.

i'm thinking about doing those things too, I didn't get the appearance pkg on purpose so I wasn't paying for something i'd prob be taking off

i'm not convinced on the Borla exhaust b/c i'm afraid it'll turn my car into a lawnmower, like most smaller engines.... so my question is, does the borla make your car sound like a common civic w/a muffler?

btw, i just got my car last friday and i'm thrilled with it so far

I have a friend in town that weekend, so its bad for me. You guys set a date and let us know. and somebody hook me up with directions or an addr...i'm new!!!
Oh, Battle of the Imports was a no go. too much rain, so i decided to bail. Did anybody else go? --Mark

Ok all. How bout having our get-together on the 29th of August? (the 28th my wife and I will be celibrating our 1st anniversary so that's out) I figured Rally's would be cool to stick with our cars. They have tables there too so we don't have to eat in the cars.

ok-I just went to the place where we're all going to get together-I got the name wrong. It's Sonic, not Rally's. Directions are the same, just differant name. So- 2pm, Sunday the29th August. It's the sonic off of Nemo Road in the shopping center parkinglot.

I hope we can plan out another one....im not gonna be able to make this one and ill love to meet you guys. Hehe racebaron im in the navy as well.....not an aviation electronic technician but just an electronic tech :P. Reason why i can't make it is b/c my car is in the shop putting on the ms body kit. I hope we can do this again ill like to come out.

The meet was a bust. Too bad, turned out to be a nice day. Jers8 was sick, umpuck and markris77 had their cars in the shop and rotary nut didn't show. Now I'm sick.

So uh...let's get a roll call. Va Bch, Norfolk, Hampton, NN and so on, over to Richmond. who would be interested in meeting up? lets look at a few weekends in advance so everybody can plan a head and all. Oct 2nd? I'll be at NOPI the weekend before (thats right, touch me!), then its Streamline Showoff in Hampton. then there's something the 9th. would love to do an 8 thing, but if this second one is a bust also...i'm going mixed car club searching! don't push me...i'll do it!!! heh.
so lets get a roll call, and then we'll choose a place to go.

just an idea...i wouldn't mind meeting at one place, find some good driving roads, and caravan to lunch.


Edited the dates due to car shows and such in the area
