But I'm looking to see if it's at all feasible for me to come to this.

I need to mapquest directions, where exactly is this place?

My bad, Mapquest doesn't list Deal's Gap. This the closest town I could get directions for, Fontana Dam...

Here is the Mapquest directions from Rhode Island to Fontana Dam....

I took my stock Vert up there the first year and had a blast with it. Surprised the hell out of a lot of people with what the old car could do hah!

It would be fun to drive down there with the top down... Hell, it will be nice just to take her out of storage... Haven't driven her since November.

Won't find much of a better reason than DGRR to get you to dust the moth balls off and give her some air.

And we can't go this year.

My GFs work schedule is seriously fucked up, and she won't be able to get time off around that weekend.

That sucks.

Well hopefully next year, the whole family will make a weekend of it with two rotary powered vehicles.

Good plan.

That'd be a hell of a cruise, I thought the 10ish hour journey was a test!!

Although to be fair, we're planning on continuing to the Key's afterwards..... :)

My buddy built a Turbo Del Sol, but he didn't get to keep it long as he got married a year later and sold the car. There is also another kid here in town that has a nice blue Del Sol with a GSX style wing, CF hood, and a Turbo'ed B18. I plan on giving him a run once my 7 is back up :D

the only thing I hate about FC verts is that they always seem to leak (and verts in general really)

both of my turboverts had a somewhat leaky top.

Yeah, mine leaks too, even with a brand new top. I think the driver's side window is misaligned. I'm going to take it to my local bodyshop when I get it out of storage and see what they can do with it.

Ditto guys. That and leaving the top down once or twice and coming back to a car full of water... oops.

You guys are making me want a vert now. Why is it that it never feels like two rotaries are ever enough?
