I learned the hard lesson of what happens when your car floods this week. Sunday afternoon the neighborhood kids were riding their bikes on the sidewalk and one of them fell into a car and the parents continued to let them mess around the vehicles so i went out and moved mine, unfortunately i was about to leave with a friend so i just backed it across the lot and parked it. Came out to go to work monday and Bam, no go lol. Just got it fixed this morning, took forever to fire it, but i did get to smoke out the neighborhood lol

you didn't allow the engine to warm up when you just relocated the car?

If anyone is interested maybe we can get a convoy to roll in together so we can get all the 8's parked together for the show.

Yea that would be legit. I just made a suggestion on a meeting place in the other thread. Up to you guys but i was saying Sheetz or the shopping plaza off of exit 48/49 on I-81. Depending which way you are coming from. It's not to far from the fairgrounds.

I won't be able to show my 8 this year here( just to busy with my daughters wedding coming up$$ in Aug.), but it was a blast last year. If you're around H-burg, and the weathers ok, head downtown the 20th and check it out. Supercars On State Street Charity Event

I might go to look around, unfortunately some road debris took out my drivers side mirror and dented in my fender the other day. so the car isnt show worthy at the moment

There may be another rotary meet at Rhineholts auto parts in elizabethtown before it gets to cold this year. And if you have never heard of them they deal in parts. Soooo many parts. All rx7-8 stuff and good prices. Here's some pics from this years earlier meet
