I just went to the berlin turn pike tonight.

I saw so many cars like Z, Evo and STi. but no Rx8 -0- .

Is there anyone want to have Rx8 meeting in CT?

If you interest about what I wrote, just post me. I'll wait for your reply.

Ah, so this time it was you.

Hello to the two new guys. We are alleged to be arranging some sort of cruise soon... ish.

The only suggestion I have is I plan on going up to Harney & Sons (tea makers) by way of Rt 7 (and other routs) through Litchfield county. Very nice drive. We may be able to arrange some sort of lunch/dinner/whatever stop and then we'll have a cruise. There are also some very nice state parks up there too. I'd like to do that in 2 to 4 weeks. We'll see I guess.

Meh, that's just me getting tea. I don't know if any sort of real cruise would happen with a decent number of people. It likely won't if I have to organize it. I'm a distracted lazy ****.

Any ideas on where to go? I suppose we could meet at UConn. We'd just have to figure out some good driving roads that'll lead to a good eating/drinking place.

On second thought, we should meet somewhere that is extremely easy to find and convenient. Could be near UConn, but not UConn.

so close to hartford that no one can say some is be favored milesage wise. that and the only thing about uconn is the all the cops and they really do not like cars like ours. and if they did pull on of us over it would suck for people how go there alot becuase they would just seek us out.

you can go to here for more info www.ccsucarclub.com it would be cool tp have a real presants there because at the uconn car show there was only one rx-8 and it was not even mine. I think it is $20 to enter a non student car and it belive it is free to just go and see or $5 at most. all of my car club is meeting at uconn first thou then we are going to crusic up there togeather

Hello CT gang

Have a few questions on Connecticut.

Thought I'd check in here to get some insight on where are good places to hang your hat around New Haven. Not in New Haven, but outside of there.

Research shows Branford and Naugatuck, although two different towns in opposite directions, from research, they are promising.

Work would be remote for the most part. Travel would be between Manchester and Orange then into NJ and one town in NY for him. For me it would be mostly via air, so access to the airport would be key, although an hour away is doable.

I have a VR and hubby has a BB. His and hers That's how we met. Also, what do you think of your 8 as a year round vehicle? If you don't use it year round, what is your alternate vehicle?

We're pretty active in the Dallas/Fort Worth RX scene, how's the scene up there?

Also, we're in our early 30's if that helps with the recommendations on areas to reside.

Sorry for being a bit cryptic, things are up in the air and just doing research.

TIA

if you're looking to move here, PM me and i can give you some insight. i moved here about 3 years ago from Chicago and originally from NM. i split my time between Times Square and Milford, CT and have to travel quite a bit so airports have become my friend. if it's just for visiting i'm sure the locals have more insight as to where to go but if it's to move, i did some homework and am now finally comfortable to buy a home here somewhat knowledgeably so my research is yours.

Saw two Silver 8 this morning 10/17/06 while driving in my red 8. First one had MASS license plate and got off exit heading towards east windsor and south windsor.

After he got off drove up about three miles and saw another silver 8.

You guys in here?

I saw a yellow on the day UConn lost to Army by the stadium in East Hartford right after the game was over. We flashed each other and I saw some aftermarket rims on it. One of you guys? Silver 8 here.

does anyone know the statute for clear side markers in CT? i have tried searching statutes and the only thing i could find is that they must be of the proper color but they don't say what that color is. i know some states don't care about the stealth white side markers but in milford if there is an infraction, these cops are sure to pull you over for it and won't let up. i'm trying to decide b/w just the regular clear corners with amber lights or go stealth with the white.

Stealths should be legal in CT. I wouldn't be worried about it so much, I drive with clears & ultrawhite bulbs and cops don't really seem to care. I got pulled over once on the CT/MA border at night and that's the last thing he would've noticed, he didn't say a thing. I even got away without a ticket.
