Sorry guys I wont be able to make it. I would love to, but my 8 is not working...yet again. It runs fine for about 20 minutes, but once you come to a full stop and accelerate in first gear, it dies. Wont start again for 20-30 minutes of sitting. Back to the shop on monday.

BTW bose is the freaking coolest guy around. He helped me install my new high flow cat which was an incredible chore for such an easy task. The bolts were all fused on which made getting the old one off next to impossible. I owe you man.

Guys, I'll sure try and be at Sugarhouse Park at 2. I guess just look for the pack of Mazdas, eh?

No guarantees. The wife and kid are pretty good at deciding what my time should be spent on. (grumble...)

Remember that I-80 has that bridge-moving thing going-on that day, so it will be only one lane in each direction. I think I'll take a surface street if I can get away.

My car needs a good wash & detail right now, but what the heck. Maybe I'll do it when I get back from the park.

Mike, I'll bring your premix bottle if I come.

Welcome, Gr8White!

I'm in West Valley, but I think there are a couple of guys in the Ogden area. We just had a little get-together in Salt Lake, at Sugarhouse Park today. You should drive down for the next one, hopefully in July.

I have an '07 too, 5800 miles. Weekend car, garaged in winter. Sunlight Silver.

I'm guessing yours is white?

Good to see a few local rotary owners today, anyway!

Let's plan one for July, give everyone time to plan ahead.

Darius, did you show-up after I had to take off?

Nice to meet some enthusiasts yesterday. I had too much going on yesterday to go on the drive although I really wanted too.

We should plan somthing for either the 24th of July or the weekend following, maybe a BBQ, followed by a drive up east canyon or somthing yeah? let me know, we should really get it organized so we can have a excellent meet.

Thumbs down sorry

Sorry about it .. .. I just figured it would be nice to meet new people and go for a drive. . . Guess I was wrong . . . But to tell you the truth Mazda is partly owned by ford haha so not quite sure why you rebel against them haha. . . BUT to each his own if you guys can get a turn out of 10 or more I Would be more than happy to devote my time and tag along but when there is only 3 . . . . not quite sure it would of been a great meet. . . . But there is my insight and hope we have future meets . . . With great rotary turn outs.

I'm just kidding, 04.

Ford owns the largest single percentage of Mazda stock, actually- they pull a lot of strings there. Last I read, it was about 33%. I also own a Ford as my DD.

I'm an old rotary engine enthusiast from way back. My first was an '80 RX-7 that I bought brand-new in late '79. Loved that car! So I would prefer to meet with other rotary folks, but it's not a hard and fast rule. As long as the piston people don't start insulting us, no problem.

The rotary women are better looking, though!

Utah??? what is that noise??? The earth trembles??? You got that feeling again???? OH its just me...

Hay guys... About 2 weeks ago I was driving on my way home from a new job I just started and enjoying the feel of a Turbo in my wrx but feeling upset that when i look arround the cabin it feels like im driving a tercel, then I feel the earth shake and hear an oh so familiar rumble in the air and look up to see heading my way... MY OLD RX8... so I flip a BI**H and I follow the car and end up at some recycling center in Ogden. I got a chance to see my old baby.. I felt her up told her I missed her.. Spoke to the guy who owned her. It was very nice to see it again. Looked the same way as I left her.. a ton more rock chips on the aero flare kit but no dents etc. the Carbon Fiber hood could use some wax but it wasnt too bad. It was very nice to see my old car and to say HI. I was able to con my wife into letting me get another RX8, but I have to get rid of the WRX and I feel its not a bad traid off. I have been searching and planning how my new RX8 will be so maybe soon I can get a new RX8 im still looking to find one used so if you guys know anybody selling a used one (black) let me know.

Good to hear from you, Big T!

That would be weird, seeing a beloved car that I had to sell.

Hopefully you'll be back in an 8 soon!

Expand your search, a lot of places will ship a car to you for a reasonable fee, or you could bring it home yourself. Good reason for a road trip!

Yeah what's up T? You could try carmax and search nationally, I know they ship vehicles across the nation for a reasonable fee, maybe worth checking out. Other than that I will keep my eyes peeled.
