I was making a left at a double left hand turn, I was on the inside. A female in a Ford Escort was in the outside lane, we both made the turn but she just kept turning and smashing into my passenger side front wheel well and door. The cops show up and say that I smell like weed and so does my car. (even though I hadn't smoked for two days, and never have smoked in my car) They ask if they can search, I told them no so they got a K-9 and he found it they took me to jail for less that an 8th or herb.


And to Charles, I can leave the state technically, I just have to find an approved agency who is open on the weekend who will test me if necessary and will fax up my results.

The biggest pain in the *** of this whole ordeal is going to cost me a minimum of 5 grand.

SoCal Caravan Info!


Alright guys, for those of you who are coming from SoCal, here is the game plan for Friday the 19th.


We will be meeting up at:
Burger King
4649 Mills Cir. Ontario, CA 91764
7:00 am

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...cbp=12,52,,0,5


This is right off the 15 Freeway so you should be able to find it easily. I picked this location because it's easy to get to regardless of whether you're coming down the 91 fw, 60 fwy (from LA), or even the 10 fwy.

There appears to be a Mobil Station right off the freeway AND a Shell Station next to the BK.
We will be departing at 7:30 sharp.



From Ontario we will be going non-stop to Barstow where we'll top off the cars, stretch our legs for a few minutes and hit the road for VEGAS!
We should be arriving in Barstow no later then 9:00 and we'll be in Vegas before noon.
Shell Station
2890 Lenwood Rd
Barstow, Ca


http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...31&ie=UTF8&z=8


If you have two way radios (aka Walkie Talkies), make sure they're charged and bring them with you. They'll come in handy for the long drive

I have just been waiting until it got closer to the meet to post the map.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie...,0.019033&z=16

It is on Paradise Road between Flamingo and Sands/Twain across from Hughes Center. It is only a couple of blocks off the strip with restaurants, gas stations and a mini market close by.

Oh yea, it's also within stumbling distance of the Hafbrahaus

and AFTER you've made it through the wedding next door, and eluded the bathroom attendant, you then have to CALL your buddies as you're walking down the street.

I'll never forget:

"Where the HELL are you?!"
answer: "I don't know but I see police lights. Lemme go see what's up"

"What Ever Happens In Vegas" Meet


"WHAT EVER HAPPENS IN VEGAS" ANNUAL MEET
Due to popular demand and threats, the Vegas group is having the second annual "What Ever Happens In Vegas" meet. We were requested to have it a little earlier this year and picking a date has been a nightmare. It is open to all Mazda cars but especially the RX8 and attendees will be welcome from Arizona, California , Nevada and Utah.(actually from anywhere you wish to come from) (To see picks from last year go to Post 28 and click on: Vegas / SoCal Meet https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.ph...=1#post2598922 - 2008 Vegas / SoCal https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=153676Panoramic Picture by A. Mair)



Date of the Meet: June 19, 20 & 21 2009

If you would like a great price on a room, please see Dominion's post #19 in this thread:" I want to help!
I can get a killer price. Let me know now before we get to full. Summer is a big deal in Vegas and anything with a pool and jacuzzi tends to get packed!!!I work for a all suite hotel. I can get you guys a kick *** rate of $39.00 for a room with a queen bed work desk and kitchenette OR for $59.00 a room with a queen and a sofa sleeper large work desk and kitchenette. Thats a sweet deal cuz the $39 is normally $89.99 and the $59.00 is normally $119.99. There is only one way to get this rate. Through me. Its a clean place and parking is good for your 8's. I know cuz last year no one had any issues and I park my 8 there everyday. If you guys want I can cone off parking up front. Just let me know.
Let me know if you want a room via pm. I will hold however many rooms you guys need under my name with out a credit card! when you show up to check in you will need a credit car or debit card. If you dont show just shoot me a pm and let me know your not coming. No big deal. I'm not going to charge you if you cancel. Other places will.Oh and dress for summer temps in the 100's lol yea its going to be hot
Regards,
-Gilbert
"
or contact Phil's 8, Jedi54 or Easy E_1. Dominion also points out that the temperature in June will be mildly hot so dress or lack there of, accordingly (especially all female attendees)




Schedule of Events:
Friday June 19th, a caravan from Arizona is being organized by Easy_E1 Please contact him for information.

Friday June 19th, a caravan from California is being organized by Jedi. Please contact him for information.

Friday June 19th the caravan from Utah will meet for breakfast and hopefully get on the road by 11am. Contact 04RX8gr or RaleighRX8 for more information.

Friday June 19th @ 5pm till 9pm: General meet in the parking lot of In & Out on West Sahara about 1 mile west of I15 (normal local meeting spot). Directions: Exist I 15 @ Sahara West, travel west on West Sahara for approximately one mile to In & Out 2900 West Sahara *Fuel available within 1/8 mile of In & Out: 7/11 is 1/16 mile east of In & Out, Chevron 1/8 mile west of In & Out also has a car wash, Rebel 1/8 mile west of In & Out.

Prior to the start of the Saturday scenic tour you will need to have a full tank of fuel. The area we are going to has extremely limited fuel access. The total tour is about 130 miles

Friday June 19th @9pm until ?:At 9pm sharp we will be leaving the lot and going to Dicks at the Excalibur for food and drink. http://tinyurl.com/ar5ycr Travel map from In & Out: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...9&ie=UTF8&z=14


Saturday morning June 20th @ 10am till 2pm (aprox): We will again meet at the In & Out parking lot on Sahara for a scenic drive to and around Lake Mead culminating in a no host lunch at the Henderson Fiesta Hotel & Casino. There is a buffet (up stares) and a Denny's inside for your pleasure. I suggest that you bring a few bottles of water with you as it will be warm and very little humidity.

PLEASE NOTE:The economy in Nevada has effected our drive. Part of our run is thru a State Park (Valley of Fire) and when I originally layed out the course you did not have an entrance fee to drive thru the park. Now the State is short of money and they are collecting even to drive thru. The fee is $6.00. AJ, Armin and I have looked at alternative access roads and have come to the conclusion that due to the twistys getting to the park and the actual beauty of the park that we are still going to use this road. Unfortunately this will require a $6.00 outlay per car.I hope that this does not effect anyones enjoyment of the scenic tour

Saturday evening June 20th @ 7pm until ??: No host get together at the Hof Brau for good times and some good BS. Last year this was a very popular get together.

Sunday: Nothing planned but the trip home.
