Is there anyone want to have Rx8 meeting in CT?

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.

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.

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.
