Mark's has a car show every Monday (if weather is ok). It can get some nice cars and large crowds and its free.

I may bring my car over some time (once son's baseball ends), as I think I may get serious about selling it (or trading it).

Um...most trucks can go well over 100.....and rednecks, in CT? Is that even foreseeable? All I see around are city slicker types. Maybe hill billies, but rednecks?

To answer your question, no I don't but the only highway I'm on most of the time anyhow is 84 so maybe it's just traffic on Merrit? They probably were trying to draft ya to get some better MPG's seeing you had that racer wing on to knock the air out of the way.

Do you just mean pick up trucks? Because large trucks are prohibited to drive on the merrit parkway. The under passes are to short for them.

For me I can't really pinpoint any one type of vehicle swerving or driving like an *** hat. A lot of times it's people in sports cars as well. I owned small-mid sized trucks up until I got an 8 and drove the same as I do now. For me it's pretty much, everyone, driving retarded in CT. CT is without a doubt, the absolute worst state I've ever driven in. The drivers here are have to be, I mean just have to be mentally challenged for the **** I've seen.

I can't wait to get the hell out of "dodge" and move out west.

Ha! Yeah...I was thinking the same thing...that you either normally leave before me or the few times we've crossed paths on the 315 was because you left early!

2010 , yea i am actually weighing my options right now on mods. Asking around in the S2 forums to see if anyone has had some luck with d-specs... if not, then I may go with either hte MS exhaust or RB exhaust, along with some BHR coils

I'm new to the rotary engine, will the coils make that much of a difference? I like the way the MS sounds but that is just personal pref. My boy had the MS exhaust and intake and it was sick. Not sure if gonna go with the cat delete as well. Gotta see how loud she is after the intake and exhaust. Did you see as of 2012 they are supposed to be coming out with the rx9.

They say BHR coils are one of the best mods you can do to the S1/S2. I was planning on getting those but I actually got an amazing deal on a set of stance coilovers so thats where my money went.

Saw a silver S1 on my way to work this morning. Looks like we were both going to the same place lol (P&W). I was behind you most of the time, so exterior looked stock. Just wanted to holler at a fellow Rex owner.

Saw a titanium grey 8 leaving the gym in norwalk tonight. Think it was a 2004 just like mine and same color. We noticed each other and gave each other the nod.
