Anyone near St. Paul, MN?

Advan · 11-23-2012, 03:56 AM

Anyone from or near St. Paul Minnesota? I am most likely relocating there from Dallas - Want to find out where are good places to meet new people - also any really good place to eat, bar, visit etc.

I guess it does snow there often and I heard from few people I may need "chain" for my tires? Currently on Z rated 20" tires - I may need a winter setup?

Thanks in advance!

Or a truck and park the Z. Snow and salt are not a good mix for these cars. Good luck though.

I'm from Brooklyn park. A suburb of Minneapolis. Do you like Asian? Italian? American? Get a beater! Your car will rust in a couple years.

Yea most likely going to purchase a small 4x4 by the looks of it - haven't got the green light yet but planning ahead.

I'm in the northern Mpls. suburbs. We just came off a ice packed nightmare of a snowfall on Sat. Finally warmed up today and melted some of the ice ruts. My roadster goes into storage early Nov. and comes out early March. It's like getting a new car every spring... Not many Z's on the road here in the middle of Jan.

Good luck on your move...

Found out the job is in "Bloomington" - I guess it's south of Minneapolis.
This place have any ethnic food? Such as Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, etc?

Just wanted to turn the 2011 z around in the garage and instantly got stuck in the alley during this winter. Car is completely useless in the winter, I love it and bought a 2010 pilot to drive in the winter. Funny switching between the two cars. Going from the z to the pilot makes the pilot feel as if its dragging something and as if the brakes don't work.

Already that time of the year? We'll see how my summer looks, but the all day commitment is tough.
