Geez, 2-4 in. of snow still at the end of April! What is going on??

Sorry to hear that. For down here it looks like Saturday is going to be sandwiched between two days of crap.

If Friday really gets that bad, I won't be able to make it to Steve's bbq Friday night, I'll have to leave at 5:00am on Saturday, which still isn't the best since we have a.m. snow showers here in the forecast, but as long as the weather in the cities stays clear, I'll make the drive.


Go here, zoom out a couple notches, and look at the big patch of rain/snow/sh*t that's headed north.

LOL -yea, my area doesn't have the best forecast either. either way i have crappy weather.. but if i go on this cruise it will be less crappy down by winona. what can i say -im an optomist.

i think i might go on the cruise. My car is still new and hasn't seen a nice road trip yet so i'm actually pretty exited!

I hope evryone turns out! my buddy just took his Z out of storage so i'm trying to convince him to come along.

Silverstone, when are you leaving again?

I'm gonna aim for leavin friday if my buddy lets me stay at his place. haven't asked. otherwise i'll leave Saturday at 5am.

anyone know of a good car wash near the target we are gonna meet at? or a holiday gas station? best if a touchless one.

hope to see you guys this weekend and check out those Z's

Well now! Maybe these guys could serve as motivation for all of you lazy ***** that think 8:00 is too early to get up in the morning. Totally Kidding! But it is nice to see this kind of dedication.

^^ Zivman will meet up with us at some point, but he won't be with the entire time. I'm looking forward to finally seeing his Z. That is, if I don't make it down Friday, cuz I was gonna get to see it then.

Forecast says snow starting tonight and all through Friday, so if it snows like forecasted, I'll leave Saturday morning around 5:00. And you better convince your friend! The more the better.

I dunno about car washes, but I'll be bringing all my detailing supplies so people can stare at me in the Target parking lot and think I'm a douchebag while I detail my car...

Cool! It will be nice to be around the VQ again! I want to extend an invite to all of you to come to the Supra meet at Elite Autosports on June 21st. We could all ride up there together, LMK.

Pretty big list, but this is more of a Z oriented meet.

they do have a car wash pretty much right across the street thats only like 6 bucks for the premium wash. i live in woodbury so its only a 10 minute drive to the target for me. u guys are really dedicated driving down from duluth and hibbing. so if anything im right off the high way if you guys need to clean them up real quick let me know. hey, hibbing what happen with the car, after they broke in ur garage, i take it insurance took care of all that. u done anything else since then as far as mods go. i dont know if u remember i was up at morrie's, i was missing the z off the back emblem.

Hey man, yeah I remember you. You had the Borla exhaust. You get that emblem fixed?

Insurance covered the price of getting everything reconditioned. I asked the adjuster if they could get some different taillights for me or something, but she said that they don't deal with that, they just write me a check. I then asked if it would be okay to spend money out of my own pocket and get some different things, she said it was fine. So I spent a good chunk of money out of my own pocket, along with the coverage, and got some new stuff.

Took me a good couple days of hard scrubbing to get all the paint off my hood, fenders and bumpers.

Other than that, just got a few other simple things and finally finished my audio setup. Now I've got my credit card payments to look forward to

I'm dedicated to this, of course. Haven't been able to get together with everyone since the time at Morrie's. Look forward to meeting everyone again.

How much snow are you going to get. If its going to snow tonight I'd still leave friday that way you get out of there before the rest hits. There is a heated car wash by my house that Dave and Andrew used last week to detail their cars.
