Well, if you go then 2 things will happen...

1) It won't be so rare

2) You will be popular with the nonrotary crowd

I know we tend to want to stay away from the immature crowd but the few I've met from this crowd are a good bunch of guys.

Does that mean you work in the Verizon building?

I'm regret to inform everyone that I will not be able to attend tomorrow. I have to head back home so I can get things done for classes for the week. Someone eat twice as much for me.

Thanks again!

Not nearly the turnout I was expecting, about 15-20 cars total Id say, the majority being Protege's. We had 3 rx8s there at any given time, 5 came through in total, which is a better turnout than the FD crowd, so yay for us!

It was a really low key event, looks like everyone else was about to leave after I got outta there, so I imagine it was done with at about 4pm or so.

The attendance at its peak was roughly:

*8-10 Protege's (both MS and regular)

*3 RX8's (5 came through in total)

*3 FD RX7's

*1 FC RX7

*1 MS3

*1 MS6

*1 Mazda 3

*1 RSX Type-S (wtf???)

*1 NA Miata (1991)

*1 MS Miata (2005)

Overall it was a pretty diverse turnout, friendly people, and some nice rides to look at. Nothing spectacular, bu certainly worth showing up to.

My GF was walking around taking photos while I was obsessivly chatting about RX8s, so Ill post up some pictures tonight or tomorrow morning if I get lazy.

It was good seeing everyone out there, and I hope we can all get together again sometime in the near future (maybe further south this time??) Check yall later!

Dang it man! Why did I have to come back to GA?!?! Well I got the job in West Palm Beach so now I just have to find a place to live for as low a price as possible and get the rest of my finances in line and maybe I'll be able to join you fellas. You guys take care and sorry I missed it.

Caveman: what does your company do?

Later!
