Welcome to the Club! I've got a Grey 8 and I'm not too far away from you too. I'm bound to see you around eventually.
Try and make it to the Winking Lizard in Peninsula on Friday (5/2) at about 6:30pm. A bunch of us from the club are meeting up there and it's bound to be a blast.

The Winking Lizard is a bar/restraunt, but being 17.....well.....you're welcome to come, but make sure you have your parents fill out and sign the permission slip.
J/K 
Seriously, though, I'd make sure it was ok with the 'rents before going. (I don't think mine would have been down with me going out with a bunch of people that were older than me, especially to a bar/restraunt.) Or you could sit this one out and just meet up with us next time. A bunch of us are planning on meeting up at an AutoCross event at Lakeland Community College on May 18th. That environment would certainly be a more "minor friendly".

Soooo.....am I the only one here that's second guessing the idea of an RX8 meet in the pouring rain.
I thinking I may pass on this one.
That really bums me out too because I was really looking forward to getting together. I just don't think the rainy weather makes for a good car meet.

I'm sure it does, but I wouldn't know. I'm not a drinker.
BTW, have you seen this:
I'm glad to see you made it and got to participate. Don't forget about the May 18th event at Lakeland.!

But some of us don't drink...and while it would be fun to meet up with you guys...a car meet in the rain does suck. Looks like I will see you all at Lakeland next Sunday.

You are refering to the 18th, not the 11th, right? As far as I know, the SCCA autocross is on the 18th.

I'm planning on being there regardless of the rain. The cars will just be a bit less shiny. Or are the phantom's the only ones whose tail ends look like they've been through a Death Valley dust storm every time it rains?

I just got back from the airport. I'll be heading over in a little bit. They do serve Pop too guys! It is more of a restaraunt then a bar anyways. I'll be getting wings, a coke, and shooting the crap with who ever shows up. See you down there.

Machiavelli,Gopherage,jonnyspeed, and DocGatorRX8er + Friend met at Peninsula.
Enjoyed the company. Rain made it too hard to take a pic. But if Machiavelli's 8 comes up missing, please don't look in my garage.................it's really hot.
Gopherage really does live in 2 cities, but he's not schizo.......
You gotta love it, when a group of guys who have never met, ranging in age from 21-47 can get together and have a good time over a car........................life is good!

It was a good time and now whenever I see another Rx8 I at least can check to see if it's someone I actually know driving it
To bad we didn't get to actually go on a drive through the Valley. O'well guess we'll literally have to take a rain check.

I'm pretty pissed I didn't go.
A couple people were supposed to come over my place and play a few games of pool, but called me at 9:00pm to tell me that they weren't coming.
I knew I should have just said F*** IT and went up to Winking Lizard.
Too bad parking would be crazy here is Akron, or else I would suggest coming down to my place one day for a meet... nothing like having your own pool table and bar in the basement. My whole street would be lined with RX8s!

By the way, here's a link to the Grand Am event schedule at Mid Ohio, June 20-22.
http://www.midohio.com/pdf/EMCO-Tuner%20Schedule.pdf
The race itself is at 5:00 pm on Saturday. Looks like they're combining the GT's and protos this year. The Koni is on Sunday. Hopefully we can get a group together for this.
