Anyone in Mn Twin Cities down for a random cruise?

Thanks HonestlyLying and SmoothZ. I just have a question if any of you can help out.
I'm trying to install the Amuse wing on my Z, but I can't remove the hatch cover.
So I need a phone number of a good custom auto shop that can install it for me, and not a shop that will take a joyride in my new car. Installing my wing shouldn't take more than hour if they have the right tools.

As far as the random drive goes, I guess we wait til the weather gets better. I'm going to wax the car as well so the paint is protected.

That would be great!

I'll make sure to annoy you with that question when I meet you.

Hey there Homer.

We're going to need a route list (with pit stops, LOL) and at least 5 cars for the random cruise.
Going to need to make this cruise stand out so people know what's going on here.

Ha! That sounds good to me!!

SmoothZ · 04-20-2011, 11:05 PM

One of our faves is Hwy 60 down by Winona. You cut through some awesome hill country and lots of people are discovering it every season.

Arc · 04-21-2011, 05:35 PM

I've never been to Winona, at least I don't remember it, so I'm not too familiar with the location. The scenery sounds good!

I think some city driving with lots of onlookers would be ideal, heheh.
Like drive along the city lakes, Lake Calhoun, Lake of the Isles, Lake Harriet, Hiawatha parkway, etc. Sorry if this is lame as it's nothing special,

We've done meets at Calhoun and Harriet, but we never get tired of it. I know we've met for breakfast down there in that area, then cruised around the lakes, parked, chilled out, then had an early lunch.

Most of us have 'normal' jobs with bankers' hours. Might want to try it.

Dubbs03, I'm fine with night driving as well. I'm looking to do some night driving after work, but only for 1-2 hours after it's dark. Weekdays or weekends.

SmoothZ · 04-28-2011, 07:33 PM

Some of us tried to do some night driving last weekend. I'm also up for it later in the Summer when it's nicer.

Dubbs03 · 04-28-2011, 09:21 PM

It doesnt have to be at night just sometime after 12 noon would be good haha.
