my car is so purty right now...except for the two huge bugs that went splat on my hood on the way home...I'll clean 'em off tomorrow...
the bugs should wipe off easily! :)
 
Holly crap my car is clean! I can see myself in it! Thanks Oleg!
And I'm really getting to know the south east elbow. (drive2)
Thanks to Mark and Robin, you have an awesome house
It was great to meet everyone.
my wife checked out all the pictures(thanks Josh) and she loved seeing all the P5s, and she said she might come out to a meet.
 
Ok....I must rant a little. After passing through Providence my gas light comes on so I keep my eyes open for the next station.

My first WTF is passing 4 exits with only food and lodging signs. Finally found an exit with a gas station, so I pulled off of 95 and into the Shell. Now the sign was clearly marked $2.78. So I pull up to the pump and this kid walks over and I tell him to fill it with regular. When he hands me the receipt I did a double take....$44 for 12.28 gallons...WTF!!! I look at the pump and it is marked $3.59...I ask him and he says it is $3.59 for full service and $2.78 for self service!! (pissed)

Should have paid more attention but I am so used to filling up in Jersey with full service that I didn't think to double check the pumps!!!

Rant over...
 
OH Sh!t next time fill up in Mass, it's almost .20 cheaper than ct,

I can't believe how much crap came off your Miata! That paint was like sandpaper. You should have faster top speed now, with the paint smooth and all :)

3 RX-8s (black, red, blue)
1 Protege MP3
1 Protege DX
1 Miata
1 Jetta

great shots! what is the brand and model of that camera?

and who is pat...(huh) was he the "other" canadian????? :)

it's just a Sony Cybershot DSC-T1...5 megapixels...nothing too fancy, but it fits in my pocket, so I like it :)

I might have the name wrong...I thought KronixKid22 was Pat...?
