I need to get out there to a meet sometime, I just need to plan out the weekend with the company so I can sign out one of our rx8s at the right time. The Z clubs dont do it for me out here so I think I will abuse my rights to take the company cars out. I cant make it out there the 18th this month though, hitting skyline in the Z that weekend.

You two are going to cause some kind of disease with all that CF.

Sleepy-z, we should've had you guys come out to VIR for the Grand Am race. We had a good turnout of 7's & 8's, but no 09's. There was a smaller Z contigent there as well.

yeah I heard, I am have withdrawls with the Z, I never drive it and I pay insurance for something that just sits in the garage. I actually drive the rx8 from work more then my own Z. I will get to something in one of the rx8's and quietly fit in without saying a word about who I am :p

Nuke, are you heading up to Jenro's on the 25th? I'm gonna try and get up there if the weather's descent. Dan's coming by on Sunday to adjust our compressor belts, but I'll probably have a mod night in the near future. I've got some cooling mods I'm going to have to install.

I thought I read that you discovered that your coils were the problem. The weather will be crappy on Saturday

Does your car also pull to one side when you stop? I'd look at your brake rotors.

Hhmm, nice avatar pic witch.

Has she made it out to a meet yet?

On another note, I sent the address of the Hampton Roads Rotary Club to a guy that just moved from Lynchburg to Chesapeake. He drives a Protege5 I think so if you guys see him make him feel welcome (Steven).
