Any of you guys driving your 8 this winter? This will be my first run with mine.

I'm going to give it a try on selective days. I need to bite the bullet and get proper snow tires for the RX. Otherwise, I'm stuck commuting with the Mrs in the Grand Cherokee.

I'll be in West Bloomfield next weekend (hopefully), sans my baby. 
I'd still be down for a meet!
I might be able to convince my friend to bring a surprise, hehe. That is, if it isn't already garaged for the winter.

^^ Zeeb and Jackson, I know that area.
Welcome to the first real snowfall in the area. I had the 8 out and about yesterday and as usual, she didn't like some of the slick roads. Then again, neither did the 4WD in front of me. (LOL)
I'm going to assume that any meets from here on out are with salt covered cars. (OK by me)

I would like to see a detroit area meet now that better weather is not far off (hopefully). I am in the Lansing Area, but Detroit area is fine. I have family in, & am originally from New Baltimore kid.

Maybe end of the month or early April. I've got a lot of clean up and some lingering mods to do before the Deal's Gap Rally in Mid April. (BTW, any of you interested in going? I'm willing to caravan down.)
I'm sure we can come up with a location central to a few members and near an interstate. (Such as Brighton area.)
Hang in there, nicer weather is coming!!!

Yeah, I think Brighton, Howell, or even Novi area would be a nice location. I am up for waiting until April for some nicer weather, plus, I am still waiting on my stereo system & wheel setup for a few weeks probably.

I plan to spend the day tomorrow enjoying the car.
I'm game for a meet at any point the weather is decent. (Cold and snowing kind of bites.)

Yeah, if today's weather made it to the weekend, I would be up, but doesn't look that way. Maybe in the next few weeks though. Had a nice day yesterday here & was able to enjoy it in my 8 for a while.

Looks nice! Didn't get any out here, must have just missed Lansing. Anyway, looks like we have some warmer weather coming for at least a while. We should start thinking about moving on a meet idea. Maybe create another thread once a spot is decided.

Some ideas for meets and activities this year ...
- June 29th & 30th: PINKS is being taped at Milan Speedway.
- July 21st, NOPI Drags and show at Milan Speedway.
- Early July (I believe), Ann Arbor Rolling Sculpture Show.
- August 18th, Woodward Dream Cruise
- Backroads spirited drive to Hell, Michigan. (I did this with the Michigan Ferrari Owners Club last September. It was a good cruise.) I posted up a thread w/ pics last September.
- Run to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio
- Run to Frankenmuth (sp)
- Weekend camping on South Bass Island (Put-in-Bay). It would be awesome to get a shot of the ferry loaded with RX8s!!! This is close to Sandusky, Ohio. (Less than 2 hrs from Detroit) The campground is great and we can walk to the bars at Put-in-Bay. Lots of boats dock here and lots of bikinis in the Summer.
- Catch a Tigers Game
- Races at Waterford Hills in Oakland County. Schedule
- Overnight run to Mackinaw Island
- Organize a "Cannonball Run" between RX owners and some local car clubs. (Not a race, that would be illegal. Just a cruise with time slips. This can be combined with another event to get to it. (Such as Cedar Point.) Here's a vid of one done in TX. Video
Post up some other ideas. (Just brainstorming)
