Ssshhh....about that storage thing.

Dave, is everyone meeting before hand to head up to Morries Saturday or no?

What time were you thinking about going?

SO tempted to head to the Flying Cloud airport and take pictures of the car with the severe storms coming from the SW! I need help...so much help.

Braver than me, I got out of the office and sprinted it 4 miles to EP center to get it under a parking ramp. :eekdance:

You crazy Brian!

I don't think people are meeting up. Also, my wife and MIL are going to Hudson the same day and time of the show, so I'm trying to convince her that my older boys can stay home and I can bring the youngest one with me. I'll let you know.

:bowrofl: Mine was safely in the garage. But I know what you're going through. That would have been a badass pic.

Sounds good. Did you say it went 10-1?

Awesome. Just washed her so she is dying to get out. :)

Its actually in the 27th, that is unless you started a new group of meets there. :tiphat:

I'm not going to Morries today. I worked a long day yesterday, got home and ended up going to bed in a bad mood. My wife and MIL are doing something the same time as this event, and my oldest son has a hockey clinic at 10am.

You guys take pics for me? Pretty please? Post em up when you can.

Didn't know there was a meet but I live bout 5minutes away. I dropped by for a few minutes in my celica. Hopefully ill be picking up a 370 sometime soon. Awesome cars btw! Hope to get to know more of you guys and the Z community.

Sorry fb dumbed down the quality. On my way out I spotted a black or cherry 370 heading that way. Wouldve loved to have met ya.

Darn it! Must have been 5 minutes before I got there. Don't worry guys...I rep'd the 370! That silver roadster was the dealer's.

I didn't make it out either. Had a long night Friday night and didn't get out of bed until the afternoon.....still ended up sleeping all night too. Hoping I'm not getting sick.

Saw a Caterham cruising around my 'hood today. The driver was wearing a helmet. lol

Maybe we should all start rollin' w/ helmets....can be our calling card :icon18:

Over the hump already, can't believe its Thursday already! Anyone have big plans this weekend?

That would be funny, only because I've thought about doing that myself.

Yeah, the gumball rally from my house. Saturday!

Sonic meet tomorrow.

Just reread the details on that....do you know what time you guys will be back at your place?

It's about 3 hours long, so probably by 3pm or so. Why? What's up?

Im trying to pick up a 370z sometime before snow fall or spring. Is there anything you guys recommend I should look for? Also let me know if you guys see any around town.

yea i saw that ad but that salvage title...

Join now. :D

Will post more events and photos on that page.

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:eek: 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.:icon17:

Geez I just wanted to drive my car not go out and compete with all the morons in this state. Shakes head.....

Yeeeah, you definitely don't want a salvage or rebuilt


Hmmm ....thought Dave was all "anti Facebook"??? :rolleyes: so much for "never joining FB"? :D

TBH, stay patient. I looked for my Nismo for about 5-6 months. I looked through almost every state of Craigslist, ebay, autotrader, and cars.com atleast once or twice a week up until I found the perfect deal.

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)

Dave, this is a "personal page", rather then a "group". For the G's, we use an "announcement board" status, which works amazing for notifications & announcements.

It's this one.

Every day, bro. Every day...

I am anti FB.

And that's because I'm new to FB.

Are any of you planning to hit up the last C&C this Saturday? Sadly my exhaust is scheduled to be shipped Friday, so won't be here in time for it :(

Thanks for the heads up. I'm definitely not in a rush whatsoever. The base sports model 6spd is what I'm aiming for but if I run into a touring sport or nismo with a good price then ill pick it up as well. I'm super picky and hard headed so it will have to be black and again at least a sports trim/style. The Z will be a summer car as I store my baby(2002 celica) all year round and daily drive my 96 celica. Hope some of you guys can help me out in the near future

Would be happy to help bro. I've been around the platform for quite a while, bought an '06 G35 coupe right outta college(daily driver), sold that, exactly 1 year later bought an '08 G37 coupe(garage queen), which I sold this a year ago and pulled the trigger on my Nismo this spring. Definitely have a lot of experience finding and purchasing the platform, as well as modding. Any questions, definitely feel free to ask.

Doesn't look very nice on Saturday.

yeeeeah, that's what I'm thinking. Might be a good day for the movies though? :)

I'm already bummed I'm going to miss the Sonic meet next week. Will be in Milwaukee for a wedding. Should have my exhaust mid next week which I plan to have my OEM one off and the FI all ready to slap on!!!

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.

Yeah, its been a very weird year.....winter lasted forever, summer really never got THAT hot, and even right now...last year they were saying we had already gotten a half inch of snow by now?(NOT COMPLAINING), but it just seems things are up and down pretty quick.

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/.... :shakes head:

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.
