You know I'll call you to tell you what's up Brian, it doesn't sound like we'll be doing anything this week, though. Oh, and poor Red...

I have. McKinney-Princeton-Lucas has some decent roads to tour that few seem to know about. Maybe this weekend I'll plot a few roads out if anyone is interested.

I say we all take a 250 mile drive and see who can last the longest without filling up. At 74 miles I'm hitting the half full mark :/ Lucky to get 180 miles from 14.9 gallons. Why's somethin always gotta be up with MY 8??? My truck is getting better gas mileage...

There's something wrong with your 8. No matter how I drove I could still get 220 miles per tank (14 gallons). My Miata goes 260 miles on 9.5 gallons

Ha, you're tellin me. There's a guy here in ft worth that has had a rotary shop for 15+ years or so and drags his own custom made rotary engines - basically takes two of them and connects them in a straight line(so I've heard but not witnessed).

I'd like to take it over to him and let him keep it for awhile and see if there is anything he could do for not TOO much$$$. Otherwise I think I'll sell it the minute I'm not upside down in it. Thought about looking into putting an LT-1 in it but I think that'll kick me out of the rotary club

***And yes I did fall off the face of the earth for while. Finally got my little auto body parts company off the ground and have been having a blast trying to make this work on my own. I'll try to make it to the next meeting at BJs but as usual, couldn't show up until about 15 minutes till everyone leaves.
