Took a MN drive today and almost wish I hadn't. We headed for Hinckley on the back roads. The first event was on 23 heading towards Mora, some lady is rolling along about 56. Took a while to get a chance to pass, but then as I start I see another car coming up behind but still back a ways.
As I start to pass she starts hugging the shoulder, oh well, blow by her. I look in the rear view after I cut back across and she is over in the oncoming lane running the guy who had been coming up off the road. wtf He didn't go off but was well into the shoulder before she moved back over. I should have turned around then, next was a guy weaving on 35w, then the guy that sqeezed by my car trying to get by the same RV I was waiting on to move. Then there was the guy that took his truck into the rocks on the shoulder in a curve and threw rocks all over. (none got me) Oh and lets not forget the guy that pulled in front of me and made me go from 6th to 3rd waiting for an oncoming to pass. He actually tried to punch his rolling what ever it was when I passed. He should have just saved the gas. Geez I just wanted to drive my car not go out and compete with all the morons in this state. Shakes head..... |

I was in negotiations for quite some time w/ a few that I still held out for. Its very much worth sticking to your guns until the perfect situation comes up. Not sure how picky you are with where the car has been driven, and if you plan to drive it year-round? If so, then obviously don't purchase a Z from around here. I was lucky and found one in Ohio that literally had been driven one summer there(1800 miles), and was purchased from a North Carolina dealership which the car had never been titled previously(Test vehicle by Motorweek magazine, with a break-in up until 5k miles) |

A movie sounds like a better idea. What's coming out?
I'm hoping this weather settles down for a while. I don't mind the light raining at night, but it needs to stop during the day and the weekends. Gotta start prepping the yard at least twice a week now. Damn trees and leaves.

For the movie, Rush is out right now. Have heard nothing but good things about it! Whats going on on the 350z thread? Seems to be a whoooole different crowd on there? I haven't met a few of them, so I can't really vouch for who or what they're saying, but kinda caught me off guard, not really the kind of peeps I like to affiliate myself w/.... |

Rush isn't the movie people are expecting. I do hear that it's good. I would rather save that for a movie night at home.
What's different that I haven't noticed? There are lots of members/owners coming and going in that community. I haven't met all of them either.
