Many thanks to Crimson_Red from Probetalk for the contribution. He even included the paypal fee.

Pretty much all the contributions from here on out will go to buy door prizes to give away. WOOHOO. Can't wait for the meet.

I just can't wait to ge my car back from paint. I'm just glad I got it in before the meet. Had to put a hold on some other projects, but oh well...prorities...

I can't wait for the meet either. I think it will be a great time...nice to see some other MX's in person rather than on car domain...

We are having a little pre-meet get together on the July 30th weekend in Pembroke Pines. It's kind of a "get organized" for the Big August meet in west palm type of thing.

Anyone is welcome who wants to come out. We will have the BBQ by the lake goin' strong. It would be great to meet some of the MX-3.com crew before the meet. I've been getting this thing organized, but never met anyone in person.

Hey all,

I was wondering how many of you are going to Moroso the Friday night before the meet? I was thinking of going- as a spectator.

I haven't been to Moroso in years, so I think it'd be fun, but would like to see some MX-3's there.

I think we'll have about ten cars running and then about the same just to spectate. Most everyone coming to the meet is also hitting the track meet at Moroso.

Sup guys.....I definately want to go, but my car is in bad shape. During one of our bad rainstorms, I had to hit the brakes on the highway and slid into the rear end of the car in front of me. I was only doing 20 MPH so the damage wasnt bad, Front bumper is cracked, alignment off, and my hood is slightly buckled. So, when I show up in the black mx-3 with a dent in the passenger fender, buckled hood, dont think im trying to show it off, I just wanna meet some mxers from florida. Im a firm believer of its not what you know, its WHO you know.

Hey barbarino, I'm going to the meet for the same reason as you, to meet some other MX-ers. My car isn't exactly anything to show off either, so don't feel bad. You and I can hang together and talk about all the stuff we want to do to our cars, and talk about how freakin' nice our cars will be in the future. Haha.

But yeah, sucks about your accident. I also had something bad happen. A week ago on the highway my car overheated, had a cracked hose. Now it just isn't running the same. But I know it could have been way worse.

Anyway, I think I may have seen you on the highway a week ago. Not totally sure, but if your car looks the same as in your cardomain page, then I think it was you.

I just wanna get my car back from paint. A week ago I went to pick it up and I saw a few ripples...nothing major, but I will be paying a lot for the paint job, so I want it to be as near perfect as possible. They are still working on it...I just can't wait to get her back...

Good thing about the meet is you will be there with a whole bunch of car geniuses. You'll get some good tips on maintenance tricks to get the car running better, quicker, & cheaper.

I have been reading through this site for a few months since I got my new little old mx-3 looking for a Miami, FL group and it seems that I found it just in time for next week's event.

I am just starting to fix up my car a little at a time but excited to see the cars that have had a lot of work done and it will help me dream about the way my car will look like one day...

Well sorry to say, but I don't think any MOCA members will make it down. I recently put a J-Spec MX-6 LSD in my car and found that I will need a custom drivers axle to make it work, so I'm down for a few weeks at least.

I posted the "Schedule of Events" in a new thread since this one was so big.
