The Big Dig project has created plenty of nice and long tunnels in Boston. I've driven through them all the time as I'm from Revere (just about 4-5 miles north of Boston). Of course, I always roll down my windows when going through a tunnel, just to hear the exhaust and engine/intake sound on my car. It's just sweet. And I keep thinking to myself that it would be even sweeter if there were a bunch of RX-8's driving through the tunnels at the same time. It would probably scare the bejesus out of other unsuspecting motorists, though (ask me how I know ). But once they see all these nice RX-8's driving by, it's gonna be all right.

Yes, there are tolls at some of these tunnels, but I'm a local here and I can lead a fun tunnel run with very minimal tolls ($1.5 per 4-5 miles of tunnel). I know which inbound and outbound tunnels to take to avoid some of the more expensive tolls. So how much it's gonna cost per car depends on how many runs you folks want to do.

We will also need a cameraman (or two, or three). And then we can post it on youtube to show other people how it should be done.

We can have dinner or a photoshoot or whatever after a run. Or a run/dinner/run. Whatever and whichever.

So, who's up for some fun?

If we can get at least 10 RX-8s/RX-7s, it's gonna be fun. If we can get 20 RX-8s/RX-7s, that's gonna be wicked fun! I think this outing should be for RX-8s and RX-7s only, especially those with aftermarket exhausts and/or CAIs. I like Mazdaspeed3's and Mazdaspeed6's a lot, but I'm afraid the rotary sound will be diluted.

We can do this on a Sat or Sun night. Just pick a date.

Note: if this meet will materialize, I want it to be a fun and safe event. Please, no knuckleheads speeding through the tunnels and putting everyone else at risk for car accidents. There are State Troopers going through these tunnels, which are also closely monitored via cameras.

 

i think this is a pretty sick idea, good chance to meet some local 8's

 

We just had one on Sunday.

 

I think its a great idea, I've got the same exhaust as you so I know what its like

 

Ugh, unless there was an actual tunnel run in Boston on Sunday that I wasn't aware of, I don't think crawling through a parking garage at 2 mph and revving your engine at the same time is the same thing as a tunnel run...

 

i got no intake or exhaust but ill bounce it off the revi limiter through the tunnel lol

 

Im in Somerville and go through the tunnels every morning and afternoon for work. The only time I can hear my engine is at redline due to the traffic. This would be fun

 

Yeah that would be awsome, we can all meet somewhere then head out.

 

That would be awsome,count me in

 

Count me in too

 

yea ill go, count me in and keep me posted on a date.

 

I like it. I'm definitely interested.


Just make sure you check the Red Sox schedule when considering the date. No need to fight the extra traffic a game would bring to the city.

 

A night cruise would work the best. That way there is no traffic at all, as long as their is no game like stated above. Also, if the OP can figure out how much money in tolls(total cost round trip), everyone could give him the money, let him lead, and just pay for everyone at once so we won't need to wait for everybody to pay individually at each toll. I would like to see the toll persons face when he goes "This is for me and the X RX8's behind me." I'm thinking we could start this around 7-9pm, I think night runs are more fun and my car doesnt have to be as clean lol. Who knows a good place that is open late to get something to eat?

Lets try to get this organized. What is the route? Are we stopping for food and where? Total cost for tolls? What day/date? and so forth.

 

im in.

 

Whoa...I guess there's some interest in this run after all...

Well, how about these dates:

-Sat, Aug 15
-Sun, Aug 16
-Sun, Aug 23
-Sat, Aug 29

These are pretty much the only days (or nights, rather) in August when I'm free. If you guys wanna do it in September, that's fine, too.

Let's pick a date or throw out some other dates and get this thing going.

 

Yes, there is interest. We discussed it briefly at dinner after the Kanc Run.


Are you planning on doing this as a day or night run?

 

Night run. Pick a day and I'm there.

 

is this going to be only a drive or anything else? maybe dinner and hang out earlier, then drive after?

 

ill start it off, how about sat Aug 15th..anyone else good for that date, traffic might be worse, but at least most people going dont have to work the next morning.

 

Oh ****. Now I remember why the 15th sounded so familiar. I'm going camping on the Sacco River that weekend and maybe the weekend before as well. Damn it. Don't pick that date Depending on what time everyone is going and what the route is, I don't see why there can't be an eat and greet before/after the drive. Should be fun.

I vote Aug 23 or 29.

 

Yeah, it's gonna be a night run as traffic *should* be lighter than during the day.

I'm leaning towards either Aug 23 or Aug 29 as well.

We can hang out, take some nice pics, eat (Bertucci's, Texas Roadhouse, Kelly's Roast Beef, TGI Friday's, 99 Restaurant, etc.) drive, take more pics around Boston.

If anyone has any idea, please feel free to share with us. We'll then put together an event schedule so that whoever can't join us right from the start can meet up with us later.

 

later in Aug would be better for me as well

 

The 15th or 29th works for me. I will camping in upstate Vermont the weekend of the 22nd.

 

lol, you can practically see all of those at the same time except 99 and Berts. I would say no Roadhouse because if we sit down to eat, they only have booths and we may not be able to sit in a group unless the bar is empty. I say we go to Fudruckers on Rt. 1 Love that place. I want to try the Osterich burger, buffalo was great.



Who is going to be aimlessly driving around this weekend?

 

I work right in Boston..on weekends..so i am good on any weekend nights...hey JMC maybe we can meet up or something...
