Nicely done Kyle, your music selection, as always, was superb.

I also shoot all the cruises we do and normally post them up at www.ntxrotary.com Though I will admit I am a tad on the lazy side for website updates... I suppose having a kid will do that

My guess is its gonna be awhile, we normally do cruises on a quarterly basis and with the state meet in 2 weeks (a really big cruise for all rx-8s across the quad state area) I doubt people are going to want another cruise any time.

Says the kid that slept through the last cruise... Thing about it is, just cuse you and Scott get upset when I make generalized statements that tend to turn out right doesnt mean everyone else does.

That sounds awesome! And kinda dangerous with the limited visibility on the roads typically driven on the cruises...

when jp said yall, he meant the group, when thomas said " a while" he meant the group. not you and one other person going out. but that sort of thing would not end up on this forum nor be as organized. if we're going by your definition brandon, i go on a cruise every day.

Haha!! I didn't realize you could do this either without all sorts of complicated cut/paste/new tab work.

So don't feel bad, I'm right there with ya!

And I'm down for a midnight (read after dark) run sometime. Although I sure as hell won't be leading this extravaganza!

Hey but if yall are serious about a Midnight cruise im down... I mean it is mean its more risky but im totally down. Ive done a midnight cruise before and it was so much fun...

I do recommend everyone raising their headlights though, it helps with visibility

Scott just remember what happened at the first Dragon with John and Pink... you guys be careful. Not that I'm against a midnight cruise, I'd LOVE to do that, just saying... consider the limited visibility when you guys plan the course!

Okay, I'm done being a "mother" now...I'll jump off the soap box.

Yeah but it kills the driver in front of you Brandon, with blindness...I HATE driving in front of you even in a truck, you need to lower yours... in my opinion.

Its not too bad with the "Auto Dimming Mirror", being lowered im used to it most of the times, living in Texas means alot of trucks, varying heights...

But If you were driving on a cruise by yourself you wouldnt be able to see behind yourself anyways, just another person behind you would mean headlights (still wouldnt be able to see anything in the dark except now there is headlights) but most importantly added visibility for you and them since their headlights are higher.
