During the summer we meet quite a bit. Right now though is kind of iffy. Lots of us are getting ready for spring, or have the winter obligations that we have to phase out of for summer.

But - welcome aboard, and you should see things kicking off soon. Part of the problem too is that we have people from all over. if everyone lived in Coon Rapids like me, I'd be all for getting together every weekend and kicking it. But driving out to Minneapolis or WBL actually takes a little bit of planning which most of us aren't any good at....lol

I realized something this morning too.

Driving with 6 month old gas + Stabil = Fail

Driving with fresh gas + WOT = Winner

Cool

What up guys!? I also live in MN (15 min. from the Twin Cities) and am lookin' to start meeting up with fellow Acura owners who love their car as much as I do! I own a '01 Acura CL; I spend pretty much all my $ money $ modifying her! I meet up all the time in my city with friend's and their rides (about 4 nights a week for about 4-5 hours). I am interested in meeting more Acura owners who want to meet & cruise Is there anything planned at the moment?

No plans as of yet. I know I won't be available until maybe May. But usually if anyone speaks up and just makes a plan - people will come.

So with the 2 new guys on there, where you guys from?

Oh BTW - I know we mentioned it recently, but I know some of you are kind of hit or miss when it comes to keeping tabs on acurazine. Does anyone else on here use facebook at all? So far I know of Razzi <ken>, Slepy <matt>, Black <kyle> and Josh <dan...lol>

Personally I find FB easier to follow for keeping in touch since it syncs directly to my blackberry so I get instant notification if anyone posts. Here I check it a couple times a week, but it depends on what I have going on.

Josh said almost the same thing last weekend if we had decided to go to the BW3's in CR you would have showed up. Oh well at least I'm not the FNG anymore.

99% of the time that would be true. Last weekend though we actually had plans to grill with the wife's cousin. Generally my excuses are much less committing though.

Maybe I should just tell everyone "I'm hanging out with Razzi - Sorry" and then I could somehow blame my woes on him...lol

How about we set a meet date.. I would say meet at my house, but its my moms house, and that wouldn't be as cool... right. so lets say
April 11th?

meet up at someones place *cough*josh, jorge, or who ever has a house *cough*
like around 11 or 12, show off the cars for a bit, then roll somewhere, or maybe a BBQ at whoevers place we are at.. assign foods, drinks, etc to everyone?

Seriously, it takes planning for you to drive 20 mins?

Events at my house took a nose dive when Jermaine's car was towed. We can meet at my place, but everyone better bring $300 to get your car out of hock. Once it's warmer we can meet NEAR my place at one of the riverfront parks.

Otherwise, Jorge's place is a lot of fun and has been a good meet location in the past.

Alright. As long as the meet is at a house or lot where we can all park and hang out - I am down.

The way my schedule looks, we should plan something the 4th, 11th or 18th. Make sure you plan it on a warm sunny weekend though. None of this cold rainy meet crap.

BW3 sounds good... we haven't had a meet there is forever

And Josh - no comment when I called you Dan? lol Can't believe I thought you were Dan for the first 6 months I knew you both. I knew the names obviously, but in person I knew a Josh that looked just like Dan - so it was easy to make the connection

welcome aboard guys, it's really nice seeing fresh faces cause we have lost a few members over the 2 years or so.

i'm trying for a 3.7+ GPA this semester so i'm workin hard, but i'm not willing to cut back on the parties so most of my free time is now dedicated to either passing out or reading a book. i am up for a meet though, i just dont wanna plan it lol.

oh and about my bumper, shit happens, i know. but man, it frustrates me the things he does. he's roughly my size, a tad bigger. so when i buy clothes he'll wear it, but usually stretch it out cause i wear a small and it snugs me pretty well. but that's fine, until he starts spilling shit on it, then throwing it all over the house, leaving me to find them and clean them. but eh, he's turning 19 tomorrow, maybe he'll change

also i had this annoying creaking noise from my rear passenger shock area whenever it rains or gets wet out. so i bought a can of wd40 and unleashed it in the general vicinity. havent heard a thing since.

The funniest part of that is that we don't look ANYTHING alike. Unless you consider white male as looking alike. In that case, you, me, slappy, and well, everyone else on here (except Razzi) looks alike.

I say we set the date for the 11th, since it seems to work for everyone who has piped in so far...

Well - I was Pwnd and found out there is an Acurazine.com profile on facebook. Apparently due to some bad design - if you search "Acurazine" it doesn't show up. You have to specifically add the ".com" after it.

Well, since i have created a group, and it technically does me no good unless I feel like competing with the real AZ group (which I am sure I'd win, since you can find mine )

I think I will just change the name to Acurazine - Twin Cities. Part of that is because I can't figure out how to close the group once i have created it..lol

wassup guys, just checking in and letting ya know that if the 11th is set then i will be meeting up with you guys also.

Haven't done anything to my car since I owned it last summer. I just dropped 9 GRAND for my wife's tummy tuck!!!!!! So yeah, after she heals, she promised me I can buy anything I want. I am thinking rims first but to go chrome or black is the question I need help with. Not sure if I should go with something else like springs and shocks. But yeah maybe I will get both, who knows....I will stay in touch and let you guys know if anything comes up!!!!
