I don't think I've ever been impressed with a flashlight before, but that thing was really cool. I didn't think LEDs could be that bright - cool gift! :D

Here's what I carry on my keychain. Will light up a tree at 150 feet.

http://www.flashlightreviews.com/rev..._caribbean.htm

This one will go about 250 feet.

LED's go for 10,000 to 100,000 hours of use, so you never change "bulbs" and some will give you 30 DAYS of light on one set of batteries.

If you want to learn more, go to www.candlepowerforums.com (the site is down today for maintenance)

Wouldn't even start with my 80 amp jump starter. 24 hours on cycle charge and all is well. Biggest problem was figuring out how to reset the alarm after the battery was charged and reconnected.

I had fun despite Morgan threatening me. Next time I will have my White 8 and we can go out and have fun for the night. I didnt get to meet everyone but those I did( Morgan, Rhawb,RX8 honey,Chef, Brian, JRenner, her boyfriend) it was fun. TGI Friday's was so good. See you guys next year or hopefully sooner. Thanks to Guy for allowing me to drive there with him.

I think we should all hook up again and do a cruise like Epi, KY and I did on Friday night. That would be fun. We just would need to select a mutually convenient location.

P.S. Friday's was fun. Y'all cracked me up.

Too bad you guys left kinda early, a bunch of us ended up at my house knocking back some beers and enjoying some good Cuban food. Here are my pics.

I wasn't in the caravan. I got there early. And I don't think I can put a face to your name either. See how bad I am at introducing myself to people?

It was good to see such a big turnout. We had over half of the people who said they would be there.

It was a really nice lineup the Rx8 guys brought out.
Especially the black one with body kit and the mesh wheels = very nice.

See you all at the next one!

How many new cars showed up after lunch? I left around noon and it looks like a few more 8's showed up.

Sorry I didn't introduce myself... not very talkative + knew no one there.

About 5 or so. You should have gone to grub with us. That would have made things a bit easier. Meets are also a bit uncomfy but once you meet us you're hooked
