Any Asheville area enthusiasts?

Hi all,

I spent a beautiful day on the Blue Ridge Parkway and thought it would be a great place to meet other 8 owners. Anyone nearby interested in a drive to Mount Mitchell? Or Craggy Gardens? I put my 8 in cruise control and I felt like I was driving on a go-cart track. It was fun and my gas mileage was nearly 30MPG! Guess the 8 likes a slow, steady speed. I liked that no brakes were needed as long as no slowpokes got in my way.

A Mazda6 is close, right?

I'm not sure about 8 owners, but if you want some general mazda enthusiasts, check out mazda6club.com. I know a couple of 6-guys who are active in the asheville area. Join up over there and shoot them a PM. They've started a couple activity threads in the SE regional thread.

Thanks for the lead nashirak- I'll watch the site. Not sure how they'll react to an 8 invading their turf, but it could be fun.

I'll be making a trip to the area, staying at Maggie's Valley, week of 6/4 - 6/11. Not sure at this point if I'll be driving the Miata or RX-8, though I'm leaning towards the Miata (mostly since I have the 8 for sale). Anyone interested in meeting for any drives just PM me.

I'll be in Sylva 6/10 and 6/11. Dunno if my better half will let me go play on the roads all day, though. But if someone organizes something that weekend, lemme know.
