i think I-20 is only 2 lanes wide, but we can still fill it up good.

I'm not sure if I'm going right now but if I do I'll bring whatever ya'll want me too. Except for the beer that is. I dont feel like having a couple cases of beer in my car if I get pulled over, me being 20 and the police not liking that.

Me Too!

Hey folks,

This sounds like a good time. I'm tired of just watching these guys on TV. Count me in. I'll probably just meet you there, since Mazcare is out of my way ... and I'm probably going to stay somewhere in Alabama Friday night anyway.

Hey, that's pretty cool. Just look for the guys with the big grin on their faces and the shirts with "GA RX-8 Club". Will try to stop by and say hi! What time are you practicing?

AND... WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

HELL YES!... AWESOME! I was hoping to get to do that! bkforreal, you have no idea how excited this group is. Just wait till you see us tooling in with our video cameras and digital SLR's and logos on our shirts. You will either be impressed or embarrassed. One way or the other we are going to have a blast. Thanks for the invite and I assure you, we will take you up on it. :D

Damn, that was cold.... I took the same offramp home with the car that the "incident" occured on. I was going about 15 miles per hour and was very nervous. I looked in my rear view mirror and some guy in a pick up truck was tailgating me. First time that has ever happened.

Phlash, I'm not opposed to meeting for breakfast at all. Time doesn’t bother me as I'm used to getting up at 5:00 anyway. On Saturday, I'm sure I will not be able to sleep due to a child-like excitement. Let me talk to WhiteTop and see if he is up to it since he is following me over to Charlie’s.
