forget my car... only a few changes made; unless you really wanted to check out the sub enclosure.

Car looks the same, except:
Slightly lower
New wheels/tires (GTC01 Enkei)
Tinted Tail lights
Few interior goodies - shift ****, sub enclosure, EDFC, etc

Your car on the other hand sporting a new body kit is worth checking out

And my old lady isn't up for a long cruise. After having a kid, she isn't pro Z car any more. She puts up with it because I like it

Alright, here are the meetup details-

Saturday, April 26th - 8:00 / 8:30am
Meetup at Target Parking lot in Cottage Grove (address below).
Head down to Winona around 9am.

Here's the address for the Target if you want to Mapqwest or Google it.
8655 E Point Douglas Rd S
Cottage Grove, MN 55016


Regarding a restuarant - If it's alright with everyone there's a place called Jeffersons that is along the river downtown Winona. They have good food and good scenery plus they can accomodate a good amount of people depending on how many make it out. They also usually have good looking waitresses as well. I was thinking that I would take a head count a week before and then get us some reservations. There's a nice spot close by on the river that would make for a good photo as well.

You have finals on Saturday?

Hey I see you're in Fargo, which route would you take to get down to the cities?
I got a buddy that goes to Moorhead right now and I'm looking to transfer there this spring.



Anyway, How about this nice weather?

50º today! I saw that the forecast for next week is in the 40's. I'm guessing they're being conservative, so it should be even warmer. :crossesfingers:

+1 on that! Getting my car out of storage this weekend. Praying that it continues to warm up. Winter is taking forever!

Not ON saturday, but 2 days after saturday.

It's basically a straight shot right down I94 if you're looking to come here, it literally runs right down the middle of Fargo/Moorhead.
