That is a correct picture and there were plenty more mazda's on the other side of the lot. Someone might need to bring a ladder to attempt an arial shot if the group is large enough. LOL!

mazda6_1981

ahaha...That Would be awesome.......Also, A Video Camera! I'm too cheap to buy one! ahha

9G Redline

I might have a friend that has one. If I remember I'll see about borrowing it or borrowing them in order to borrow it. LOL!

I'm a new RX8 owner, and would really enjoy a trip up to ATL for the weekend. I'd be coming from Central Florida, so I'll be taking 75 all the way up.

I'm gonna plan on coming. No reason I can take off Friday and a Monday for that, and make it a long weekend.

Count me in.

Any ideas on where/when the caravan wants to meet up around Macon?

mazda6_1981

Hello RL! Welcome aboard! In Flordia eh? Niicccceeee! I'll Take 300 Then 75

But about the caravan.....hmmmm ...Not quite sure yet. I'll guess we'll make that decidion at the last second a week or so before the meet.
if thats okay with everyone.....

ahahaa I'll be the ONLY 6 driving along with you guys

9G Redline

Whatever is clever my friends. Welcome to the club RL. For the most part we're pretty friendly and don't bite hard...usually. LOL! What time were we planning on meeting up in ATL again?

RLRandolph

I think Maz said 3:00pm EST.

What is the 300? Never heard of it.

nashirak

I live in Macon. Easiest meeting point would probably be somewhere off of 475 (macon's bypass). Although it is technically a bypass, check all the maps, you'll see it's actually shorter distance-wise and a higher speed limit. Exit 9 (Zebulon Road) is a good point, plenty of large parking lots right by the ramps. We should be able to get a good car mix going for the rest of the ride up.

mazda6_1981

Heyyy There Will! How ya been?! But that exit sounds good to me! =D Whichever is best eh?

mazda6_1981

hehe....Its cool.....300 is a highway that leads onto I-75 North.....

I dont think you will notice it if your going I-75 North......Its just a straight shot for you eh?.....

Drive Safe!

RLRandolph

Yup...As a matter of fact, I-75 runs through about 2 miles from my house, so it's a straight shot all the way.

BTW, you need to update your list of who's coming...Slacker!

9G Redline

Will's going to make me drive all out of the way and stuff. Way to go ***! J/K. Zebulon road would be the best place to meet. Plenty of places for those of us with less than average fuel economy to fill up. :p

RLRandolph

Completely unrelated, so not to hyjack this thread - but I finally took some shots of my new baby. (Well, it's an '04, but new to me, and with 20k miles, it's like new)

I blurred out my tag on the back shot . . . all of it, except the two letters that are my favorite.

[ Front Shot ]

[ Back Shot ]

mazda6_1981

Slacker eh?? eehhee.....But List UPDATED (ON 1st PAGE of the Thread)
But niiiiccceee Pics you have there!

nashirak

Hell there IS nowhere that is on the way for you...lol

RLRandolph

Is anyone from the Duluth area? I'd like to get a hotel for the weekend, but I'm not sure of any nice places to stay. I Orbitz'd some hotels that looked halfway decent. (I don't care about fancy, just clean...) And I'd like a place where beer is abundant and not frowned upon.

big83bronco

Zebulon Rd. it is in Macon then! I live off Zebulon Rd so it will be good for me! Will what you up to next weekend? I get my car back from the "Stealership" today. They had to replace the oil metering valce/motor to fix teh oil leak. Gotta love that w/ 40 miles left on the bumper to bumper!!!

L8APEX

sorry for not knowing, do you have an 8 or a 6. oil metering makes me think an 8. Did you have to have your pump replaced? Just curious.

UFGator12

I live in Duluth. PM me if you have specific questions about nice hotels and areas.

nashirak

Bronco has the 8, mazda6_1981 and I have the 6's....lol

mazda6_1981

uggh...Wish I had a V-6 though...ahh well...Cant turn back time now eh?

big83bronco

Woulda.............shoulda...........coulda....... ..... Yes the "stealership" replaced my metering pump, A/C control head, and 02 sensor.

L8APEX

big83bronco, so, tell me more about your metering pump being replaced, and if it fixed your leak. my dealership thought I had a leaking OMP, and I was out of warranty, and they wanted almost $2K to fix it. I had someone else look at it, and found the real leak, the front main seal at the eccentric shaft. Just wondering what you weant through, and if it has been fixed.

big83bronco

2K for teh pump is rediculous, all of mine was $1551.71 w/ labor at the dealership. Mine was still under warranty. Im not suer if it fixed it or not, but we will know soon, im taking it back in, in 2k miles to see if there is any new oil on the motor.
