I live in Sweetwater, and will hopefully get mine in Ft. Lauderdale (where my fiance lives) with lots of luck, this weekend, if not next. I dont really head down to Kendall much, but once i get the car I AM gonna be enjoying it as much as possible.

Make the hour commute to Ft. Lauderdale MUCH more pleasant I think.

There's 1 or 2 guys in your area on the boards I think. But I too havent seen a single car on the roads yet.

Hey...

Live in Coral Gables, and I've been driving mine since 8/16th - Black/Leather/Sun Roof/Navigational Package...a little tricky to figure out, but the screen looks "cool" :D.

I didn't order one. Ocean Mazda unexpectedly received 1 black & 2 red. In fact, I just saw another one they received. It has the Spoiler/Black & Red leather combination inside/many sporty extras. It's beautiful!!

I'm thrilled with mine so far.

Would be happy to "hook up" with you all...

Enjoy!

I live in Miami as well am looking to hook up with fellow RX-8 owners as well. I had to buy mine in West Palm Beach to get a good deal.

Hi Again,

Fuddruckers on Sept 6? I'm not sure what it is, but can you expand on it? I'm curious.

Also, I still haven't seen any of you on the road yet!

"Good deal" in W. Palm? I'm wondering what that is "exactly"... I've noticed that on this forum there is no mention of cost.

I was probably "taken advantage" of...

Still enjoying myself.

What's up Bridged13B,

Do you mean the Fuddruckers by the Falls? I know they used to have car shows there. I'd be down to meet Sept 6th.

A little less then msrp. Fuddruckers is a restaraunt that serves Burgers. I hope they are talking about the one at the end of the 826 on US 1 South (South Dixie Highway).

The Fudruckers on US1 and 104th Street by the Falls. I havent been there in a while but I think they still do it. First Saturday of every month they have a car show. Lots of people turn out for it and all kinds of cars.

i used to go to the first saturday of every month car shows at fudruckers also, but for almost a year that hasn't been any shows because kmart was complaining about their parking, although im not sure if they're doing it again. even though i dont own an rx8, if there is a show i know me and my buddies 1 with a 350 and another with a souped up se-r spec v will go. i will call fudruckers and see if it is still going on

Hi,

I just called Fuddruckers, and they don't have the Car Show anymore...only "Bike Night" which is on Thursdays.

Any other ideas?

This is all very new to me, but I'm ready to "jump in!"

Iamigre - As long as its an organized legal event I have no problem with meeting there. Im tired of running from cops everytime I go to these events.

How about Next Friday September 19, 2003 at 8:00 PM in the parking lot of La Carreta?

We could all meet there, show off our cars and have a little Cuban Coffee so that we ZOOM ZOOM just like our cars.

Hey guys,

Fellow rotor head here...and i was wondering if some you would be interested in joining our RX7 meets. We do a once a month get together....but there some guys that meet up on a weekly basis. Its done on the first friday of the month, it was done at Tower Shops but we will changing that venue for the next one. I will start up a new thread for it if you guys are interested. It would be good to see all versions of the rotarys in one spot.

Regarding the RX7 meets, I'd be interested.

lamigre, What is your name exactly? Also, where will we meet? Outside? I've never done this. Or...we can meet inside at the entrance. If we meet inside, I'll be the 5'4" 30ish redhead that has a "serious, standoffish, arrogant" look on my face. DON'T LET IT SCARE YOU!!! I've been told many times how unapproachable I am so this car has actually helped. It gives people something to say to me. NICE CAR!

I'm a lot sweeter than I look. :D Nos vemos :cool:

Gene is my first name, I am 5" 8" about 225. I have a short cropped military type hair cut since I work in Law Enforcement. My RX-8 is sunlight silver.

We can meet inside or outside. What ever you want. I hope everyone else also
shows up.

See you there.

Gene.

I'll be there as well. I would suggest we just meet up at the door or at the cars. Park together and stuff :D

Anyway, I'm Yuri. I'm an overgrown geek really. 5'11", too many pounds :D glasses, beard and microphone head hair right now since I havent had time to go get it trimmed. I'll be there about 8, but cant stay too long. Say until 9 or so.

See you tonight!***

I posted some car pics a while back in this area and there's one of me in case anybody wants to recognize me easy.

*** Just got an emergency service call so I might not make it after all. Hope I make it, if not, next time.
