yo i was really wondering what the hell you were doing on this club. Im here to promote and find 8 members in NY.

Still dont understand so many RX-8 owners in NY and no one hits up the post. Whats going on, is the age difference that big? Or they dunno that we all got rotarys?

It seems to me that alot of people (NOT ALL) bought the 8 because of how it looks, not because its a rotary or they are car enthusiast.

this is very true....i am a rotary n00b being that the 8 is my first....but i am an enthusiast any way...but most people i have seen are pretty clueless and dont even want to learn......kinda sad.....but how many people bought FD's cuz of thier sex appeal and blew them up because they didnt know or care?

Is Shocka really coming to an event? :P

My 8 might be there, though it's not mine any longer... So I think that makes 6 8s then, right?

I might be there too, just for fun.

Weather definitely looks good for tomorrow. Only bad thing is that too much sunlight makes it hard to look at my white 8! I look forward to seeing Chris' 8 and meeting all the characters from NY. Meeting up like this is gonna strengthen the brother hood and get some NY pride on this board.

Anyone else bringing there significant other? My wife is pretty stoked to attend her first car club meet. Hope you guys are gentlemen! Yeah... I'm a wishful thinker!

Sounds like this will rock. The 8 that was mine will be there 98%, as will I. We'll probably meet everyone at the park, maybe a bit late (1 PM?). Please keep those grills burning!
