Five Guys Z meet in the works? Any interest?

Damn, Alex. Might as well get a brand new y-pipe.

Lifetime here is closed for 2 days. Guess I'll give my body a break.

Five guys is the ****.... I love it. First time I had it was in miami. They have one in maple grove and one in rochester too. A million times better than smashburger for sure.

Here are some pics.

I picked the car up from Cali on Friday and drove it back over the weekend. While i was in Wyoming a mule deer jumped out in front of me while i was going around a curve. I swerved and missed the deer but rubbed up against a reflector pole so the passenger side has some scratches but insurance is coming out tomorrow to get things figured out.It sucks but oh well ill take the scratches over a totaled new car any day. I am thinking about taking it to LaMettry's in Eden Prairie to have the stuff fixed. Anyone taken their cars there before?

She is daytona blue, 43k miles, no mods, base model.... but she is still fun to drive! 6spd.

He had it tuned at DB in rogers and think he ended up with close 300 AWH. It was a sweet car. How does it compare to your Z?

bah that ain't nothing. Try going out to Zdayz and back with no cruise. I'd take off my shoes to make it comfortable and I'd switch feet to hold the accelerator down.

Aaron, you must have gotten a good deal on the Z to drive out to California
