Rochester NY Area Rotary owners?

Any Rx8 or Rx7 owners in the Rochester NY area who get together for drives or working on their cars?

Hey I am in Rochester, well Fairport, but I don't know anyone else who has an rx-8 around here...mine is in storage until mid April. Are you driving yours in this weather we've been getting?

I work in Irondequoit but live in Macedon(Gananda), drive it every day. I have Pirelli 240 snows on the OEM rims......it's better than my Intrepid was!!! We'll have to meet up and go to a drive-in Wed night this spring at the Log Cabin.

Keep in touch!!!

Log Cabin Car Nights

Any of you guys (girls?) been to Wed night drive in at the Log Cabin in Macedon? HUNDREDS of cars, real old, real new, rice rockets, harleys, model a, vettes, the works. I live a mile or two away.
This summer we should meet and drive in together. There are few cars out that look a hot as the 8. A handful of us together would make a big splash!

well I will be sure to give a heads up if we decide to get together. It would be cool to line up a 1/2 dozen or so 8's!

D-Day is still on.. but I hear it's not as good as the old days. I'm only a freshman so this will be my first one, but I'm still excited for it.

got flashed yesterday

I've had intermittant oil and engine lights lately. I understand this can happen irregardless of oil pressure problems. I got the ecu reflashed yesterday, and I swear I can tell the idle is smoother and the engine repsonse is quicker. Maybe I'm crazy. Have any of you guys had similar experiences?

My favorite one was when they had Reel Big Fish do a concert on the Commons lawn. I broke my glasses in the mosh pit and blew out my eardrums by walking past the speakers at the end, but it was awesome. Oh yeah, don't let security mess with you. They're all ********. They made my friend throw out all his beer.
