I hope so too. I'd like to see this spawn into a monthly thing at least.

Sweet! Man Im gonna have to behave at Bdubs. Good place for a meet. And my leave starts the 20th so this is pretty good for me.

I'll be in a Black rx8 with a mazdaspeed body kit.

What about a drive? I like going down Fort Hood street and hopping on 138. Roads are in good shape, with big wide twisties. Good scenery too.

Yeah, I was thinking if we get a good enough turnout, right behind BWW is the far side of the movie theater parking lot. Plenty of space to line up for pics and such.

Cool. I havent taken any pics of my car since I put the kit on, and Im going to attack my swirls this week with the porter cable.

More of you guys need to come out! Im about to start shouting out at other 8 drivers in town.

If other Mazdas are OK with you guys I could probobly get a few friends to show up.

Too bad the ricers arent hanging out at Best Buy anymore!

I'm game for any other car types as well as 8's. The more the merrier, right. I know what you mean about yelling at other RX's while driving. I see them all over, but usually can't get anyone to look over or acknowledge me most of the time.

That's cool with me too. Terrance gets off work at 3, so how does 3:30 sound to everyone? I changed the time in the first post alredy, but let me know if there any issues with the new time.

I think we should all start in the theater parking lot right behind BWW. We can all meet up, wait for everyone to arrive, take a few pics and then go inside for food. (Location in 1st post updated as well.)

vigozus, you got the time change right? You are the only one who has not posted since the change.

I guess that depends on how much beer is to be had at Bdubs

Joejitsu suggested 195 to 138. I don't know what way you usually go after that joe, but 138 t's with 183, if we turn onto 183N then we can hit 2657 and circle back around through the back side of Cove all the way to 190 again.

Sounds good!

Im dropping my car off at the dealer on friday morning. Hopefully, I will have it back by the meet. If not I'll show up in a Mazda 3 or whatever I get for a loaner.
