I've figured out how you can save up enough money to mod your Riv. Just turn the heat off in the garage, and use that $200/mo in gas bills to buy go-fast parts for the car!

You know, when enough of the polar ice cap melts, your garage could become a dock... poke

I got one here in CT. Bone stock, but it has 170k+ on it, so I am playing it safe. I have seen a few down here in CT with me. No teen respects it until I blow by their civic.

How far down in CT are you? If we get a meet going would you want to come up for one?

Subject: Re: New England Riv'rs speak up! Tue Apr 10, 2007 6:09 pm

There is the Riviera Owners Association, there are around 35 members in CT and 50 in MA. thumbsup

It is for all years of Rivieras', probably not that many of the late ones, but could give you guys a reason to get something started? cheers

I am in Tolland, right outside of UCONN and about 20 minutes from Hartford. A meet would be pretty sick, actually get some hands on learning. If I could learn some stuff about our car that I don't know, it would be totally worth it.

Subject: Re: New England Riv'rs speak up! Wed Apr 11, 2007 11:29 am

Well even if we don't get a big meet going we could meet up after work or something like derek said. I'm down for anything really. Would like to meet some of you guys and learn some things.
