The problem is, Stamford seems to think of itself as a little New York City and the prices of parking are not the greatest. There are a few hotels in the city that have thier own gated lot that is under constant supervision. Can't really get any better than that. The two that come to mind are the Courtyard by Marriot right in downtown, and around the corner is a Holiday Inn Express. You can save a bunch of coin by going up to Danbury, Newtown, Bethel (slightly different route- just stay on 84, stay in CT, and the next day we can meet up in Jersey around 10ish) You can save a little on the room, but to my knowledge, there is no secure parking becuase there really isn't the need for it.

I'll talk it over this weekend (with my better half, and with the potential other car or two who are coming) and see what they think.

Cool. There is a MONSTER caravan leaving from Jersey @ 8 on Thursday, I believe that's about 15 cars strong. That's a little large and there's bound to be problems, more frequent gas stops, communication sufferes etc etc. If you head down with us, there will be 3, 4 if your buddy joins, and I'm talking to a few other guys in NY/NJ and if they all go, we'll be up to 8 which is a good number I think.

That might actually be more fun on the dragon, but the 56 hours for you to get there and back might suck a tad bit more. Hell, I madef the trip down and back last year with my race seats and harnesses, this year will done with seatbelts and RX8 seats. Hopefully I don't regret that on the dragon.

Well, the engine is sitting on a stand right now, but should be in the car by tonight. Then just need to plumb it all, install the V-mount, front bumper, and fuel pump and tune the PowerFC... wow... I better get off the internet and get to work...

My car came off the rotisserie yesterday so I have a little wiring to do, full assembly of an entire car, some re-wiring, repair/repaint to a hood. My partners car is coming to my shop tomorrow for a full paint job and then we need to assemble that entire car, and rebuild the engine...... stop complaining But yeah, I better get off the internet too.
