Yep, will definitely be watching the phone and let everyone know. Looks like a great day in the forecast. Can't wait to wash her up on Saturday and let her sit overnight, as I usually do.

Tara took the Z to work today. I guess she likes driving the car, too.

April 22, the Chicago Z crew is having a huge meet. I see over 40 names already. I'm thinking of crashing the party.

1036 Higgins Road, Park Ridge, IL

It's about a 6 to 7 hour drive.

if you're referring to car parts, it does suck. I was so spoiled in DFW, even with people who worked on cars. I had so many friends who did quality installs at their house, and big work too....

i have an 03 3.5se Altima that i may be willing to let go. It's got some miles, but it's in good shape. Black on black, and it's got the vq in it. I've only done 2 mods on it:

1) Nismo Catback exhause
2) SE-R Tails and wheels

I like River Road along the Mississippi, but that will be crowded with pedestrians. Actually, I wouldn't mind cruising out to Lake Minnetonka and driving around the area. We should pick a way point over there in case people get lost or separated.

How's this?

http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Fu...ra=ls&t=m&z=12

We don't necessarily have to go that route or start from Fudds, but I'm giving you a destination in mind. You can't go wrong with a little Dairy Queen action.
K the route is the one in the link, we can decide where from there, personally id like to go longer, something involving us flooding a gas station for refueling lol. And it'll also give others the chance to finish plans and catch up and jump in. But yeah Sunday morning 11am fuddruckers of edina.

I was also thinking that if more people are going to make it later in the day, we can reschedule to accommodate and have more cars in the pack.

So bump it to 1PM instead? I'm fine with that. I'll just go to the gym in the morning, have an early lunch, and then head out to meet you guys.

Money well spent, Trav. That's in June, right?

Tara and I will be celebrating our golden anny about that time. Gotta save up money for the big weekend and spend it on total debauchery.
