Remember that rx7 that wouldn't start? Well they hauled it with a truck in attempt to start it, but it didn't. What it did instead was shoot a one foot flame from the exhaust, it looked akin to the after burners of a jet since the flame was constant. We had the guy park the car again and call a tow truck that took 2 hours to get there.
Yeah I was wondering about that when y'all took McKinney and the next exit was Allen Pkwy! That sucks about the tow truck. I bet he was bummed he couldn't run with us (even though it was a short one as a group). Next month!

Good meet.

I took the FD which popped an AC line last weekend.

It must have been a million degrees out. This is the first time I WISH I had brought my 8.

There were too many turns in the cruise to know where the hell we were going. As soon as a few cars started to peel away I just said **** it and cruised home early too.

That's awesome. I heard that before, but I thought they were messing with me. Thanks for the compliments you guys. I took Unknown Disciple for a ride one time, I thought he had a seizure of joy.

Yeah I was bummed the run ended so soon with that wrong turn. Felt bad when I saw all the other RXs following me!

Oh, no you didn't.......... time and place. Pick it. Were you at the meet in the green RX7?

I'd hate to smoke that gorgeous machine, but my foot is so heavy. Suppose I could leave it on low boost to make it fair, lol

I knew *I* was gonna get lost.

The route instructions got a little vague after the "get on 59" part.

I'll unhook my intercooler piping and the bridgeport would probably make more horsepower than the 8.

We could race to a gas station though... you'd win and have to send help back to get me.

Looking forward to Tuesday for the meet, because of the location the cruise route should be less confusing this time.
See you guys there!

It's right by shepperd and 610. If you're coming from 45 you have to make a right, if you come from the opposite side you have to make a left turn. Either way you will see a sonic first, then Gabys a few hundred feet ahead. It will be on The left.
