Summer show at Hiley Mazda, Arlington TX

Ok guys,

I have personally gotten a thumbs up from the Sales and General Manager to hold a summer car show at the dealership(Hiley Mazda). I know there has not been something like this for a long time. With the downturn in the economy I'm sure they are eager to get a lot attention their way. A large rotary turnout would be ideal but, this will CERTAINLY INCLUDE all mazda enthusiasts. NEW AND OLD!!

Catch is, before any further talks can be made I need a large enough devoted interest to make this happen. No money needed, basically if they can get a lot of people to come and show their cars they will do their part. Even with talks of getting sponsors to help with the event and get some advertisement going. I can't remember the last event we've directly had Mazda support us.

As of right now Im shooting for July-August time. Once I get a large enough list of names and cars I will present and get all the details.

I will work on spreading this to the other mazda forums.

So anyone wanting to be a part of this let me know.

I'd be willing to show my car. i can also help spread this to rx8club if you would like. I'm sure a bunch of the local rx8 owners would have no problem showing their cars also

Ummm, what if you don't really consider your car "show worthy?" Not that I'm driving a beat up 7, but some of you have some immaculate cars that just make mine look nasty parked next to you! hahaha

Sounds good I'll be there! Maybe we can all meet up here for the monthly meet??? If its going to be a few months away, maybe everyone will have time to finish up their projects. Wait, who am I kidding? The "project" is never complete, is it?

Stop being a panzerfaust and show up to something without using your choice of engine as an excuse!

Yes, I know what a panzerfaust really is but i still like using it incorrectly as another term for pansy.
