Hey everyone! Has anyone set up a 350z cruise or anything of that like? I went on a Camaro cruise with the Camaro community last Saturday and let me tell you, it was tons of fun. There were about 30 Camaros cruising from Carrolton, to Celina, to McKinney. They took a lot of windy/hilly back country roads. It was pretty awesome.

mlaw92, we haven't had a meet/cruise in a while with some of us locals....not to say that we won't be up for one.

I just think we lost some good people around the DFW area and nobody has been the organizer of any. So if you want to try then post it up in the Texas meets section and see what happens.

Oh yeah, I have a friend that just got a 40th anniversary Camaro SS convertible....and it was really awesome.

I do but they are really hard to adjust (so Jae dont think Ive just been ignoring you - I have, but at least you know why)..and I doubt they will go as low as you want them to.. They still work damn good though..

The z never stops surprising me lol I averaged 29.7 mpg on the way back and 70 mph. Made it on one tank without the gas light coming on. Was a total of 418 miles..in other news my boss wants to meet for lunch tomorrow and with how slow things have been I'm a little nervous I might get laid off on the bright side I have enough saved up to hold me over until I get another job and I would get to come back to Dallas.

You gotta think positive thoughts Pat. The way you put it doesn't sound too great, but I hope it is better than you expect.

Oh snap ! ...... Tornado almost formed right in front of us at work in Irving.

We were outside watching the rotation and started to see a funnel cloud start to form...but never dropped....kinda cool & scary at the same.

We got some good hail tho....I think my DD is gonna need to have some work done for the second time !

I made it to a gas station just in time. Only one small chip on my hood from what I can tell.

I'll have to look over the car better tomorrow when it's clear out.

Some of the worst went through your area Skrilla. Glad you made it out with just a couple nicks.
