Ok so lets put some dates out there and see what will work the best for all.. josh said something after the 15th works for him and i know Albert works on the weekends so will a friday night work? like the 17th? and you guys were talking about bowling so i like that idea my self also (been years since Ive bowled) also I belive this will be my last meet till I come back from iraq also so I want to make it a blast!


So again does friday night the 17th at some bowling alley work for all? the local guys have to tell us what bowling alley is the place to go since Im still new and dont know anything about this place yet.

Sounds cool... but I might not be able to come to the next meet this time. Since my car is at the dealership. It's having its engine replaced... I've took it to the dealership on monday... B/c my car stalled on me like 2-3 times on the damn HWY. (FFS, it was annoying!). Next day the dealership calls and tells me that my engine need to be replaced! The mechanic says that there is an Oil leak in the rotary chamber. And also that there was very low compression on the engine (ANY CLUES? wtf went wrong). Thank God! its being covered by the warranty. Any comments and reasons on why my engine went out? My New engine is coming in a week. And they are suggesting me to replace my "Air Pump" which isn't covered by warranty... err.... cost... 500$ or more. I don't even know if the Air pump is fck'd up or if the dealership is jus persuading me to buy it for no particular reason (just to make money outta me). Does anyone know if its a must to buy the air pump? My car might be done by the end of this month (HOPEFULLY!).

ok 17th it is!!....when it comes to the bowling alley it depends if you want a chill place or a place thats always packed... bowl el paso is the pretty calm one and Oasis lanes is always packed but it also has its big arcade room and a lot of chicks....so its up to you guys ....if we decide oasis we might have to get somebody to go before and reserve the lane

Oasis sounds pretty good, let's do it. I hope we can get at least eight 8's out for this.

Hey there RX8 peeps in El Paso. Do you guys have a club or regular meets or anything? I've read through the last few pages and it seems you're somewhat active. I'm going to be over there next month for about a week (Aug 9th - Aug 14th). I'm taking a new job there. After that week I'll be in GA for about 6 months for some training and then I report back to El Paso in Feb next year. Any advice for the area? Good areas to look into for a house? Etc, etc... Also, are there any cheap, (but in good/safe areas) to stay for the week I'm there before I go to training? Thanks for any info.

Dan

Oasis it is 730 PM Friday, I am gonna reserve 2 lanes. TELL EVERYBODY.

Toxic, as far as where to stay and houses and all that, I wouldnt know. Third eye, Atruerx, and some of the other locals probably have better info for ya. Sorry. What job are you training/getting here in El Paso if I might ask?

AND EVEN IF YOUR 8 IS IN THE SHOP, ON BLOCKS, NOT RUNNING, FLAT TIRES, EXPLODED, STOLEN , THERE IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO BE AT OASIS FOR THIS EVENT.

ok, 8 it is then. BTW, I called Oasis about 100 times today trying to reserve the lanes, the event coordinator guy never answered the phone, and the front desk people never answered the phone, i did leave messages on the even coordinators phone but have yet to recieve a call.

Anyway, 8 at Oasis, they have 40 lanes, so we can probably get a few that early anyway.

Albert, tell your other 8 friends about it too (=

you might have to go about an hour ahead to get some lanes... theres has been times where we waited for almost 2 hours...hopefully it isnt that packed....for those of you who dont know where it is...just go up zaragoza and passing vista del sol it will be to your right....its a big *** building with a little roller coaster outside
and yeah i told some of my friends already

Do you know a good route to cruise? The meets/get-togethers here have been pretty small lately, small as in five 8's. I'm pretty much down for whatever.
