vistaprint.com will print you 250 free business cards (they tack their logo on the back) - I don't know if they would let this fly since it's not a true "business card" but I made this mockup on their online generator. Think I should have them print us some?




...something like that

Alperovich

posting to keep tabs. I'd drive up from chicago for another meet (i was at the brooklyn park acura meet this summer with my black legend coupe)

Razzi

haha dan, go for it. toss an email on tho so they can contact you for more info. make like a MidwestAcuras at gmail.com or something lol

MyPearl02

theres a nice 03 tls at berkley acura its white, lipkit, and has a slight drop, and tint

underst8

Alperovich you should def. bring that legend up some time. I go back to Chicago pretty often to visit the g/f maybe I can stop by and say hi sometime. Are you close to like Rivinia (only place I know in HP)? She's in Evanston.

Alperovich

we'll see if i'll bring the legend out. probably not until summer. BUT i'll drive my CL out anytime really. I have a pretty flexible work sche'd. i can pretty much take a day off anytime.

yea, i'm VERY near rivinia. actually if you look up pauly acura. i'm like 2 blocks away.

you're welcome to stop by anytime, just let me know when. I'll be around. maybe if it'll be decent out, we can take the legend out of hibernation for a quicky

as long as i get my ball joint situation figured out, seems my SPC has adjusted itself since my last alignment.

Razzi

woot, let's see if we cant get an all midwest together or something in the spring/summer

I registered a domain to put on the cards: http://www.mspacura.org . It's just pointed to a google placeholder page that points to our specific forum topic.

The domain tcacura was taken and while msp-acura. or msp-acuras. might have been clearer I'm always in favor of shorter and punctuation free. If someone wants to put actual content (gallery, calendar, etc.) up on that site I'll turn it over gladly, but for now we've got something short to put in any cards.

Alperovich

i'm down.

i think we're planning on having a acura-legend.com meet in april or may.

Razzi

bwaha ryan i love you. i wanted to do a website but my web page editing is limited to facebook lol. toss on some pics we had at the one meet under the bridge
and you know what, im down for a april or may meet.

Alperovich

if we do it in may. maybe i'll bring the Legend out again!

Takata 18

Count me in If the weather is good I will have my summer wheels on.

definitive

if you guys have the content for the site i would be willing to make one for everyone as well as design the cards and perhaps some cool new vinals for everyones cars....? i used to do it graphic design and site design before i got sick of being trapped behind a computer by myself all day lol

underst8

yeah I know what you mean. I'm in the same boat did graphic design for a few years and hated being in front of the computer all day - now I work for Target and sit in front of a computer all day. I think we should just go with the Vista Print cards unless you guys want to may to have them printed somewhere (it's like $13.00 for 100 business cards at Staples).

We don't really have any content for the site, save for some pictures of our cars. We just really need a logo...give it a shot if you have spare time!

definitive do u know where we could get vinyls cut?

Razzi

it's so tight to have tech geeks on your friends list
hey dan, what's josh doing, i havent seen him in forever
and how's the clear diffuser business doing?

VTEChump

That's my old ride, it has TEIN SS suspension still on it, didn't think it was worth it to take them off and sell them. They are crazy if they think someone will pay $18,999 for that car.

Razzi

so whatchu rockin now then?

asujosh1

I'm still alive and kicking, but after last week, just barely. Haven't had much time to do anything other than wash the car, so not much has changed. I'm just about out of Mead though, unless you like the saffron variety. (I don't think you tried that one...) I'm having a brew party at my house on the 26th though, so some honey goodness should be available around January or Feb of 2009.

I was going to do headers soon, but I got screwed out of a referral bonus, so that's off for a while. I may be able to do the pulley soon though...

VTEChump

08 TL-S, stock until April...

Razzi

what happened josh? you got in an accident or something?
maybe this will cheer u up, http://youtube.com/watch?v=4JCXPED10GE, just for sheez and giggles lol. there's 2 parts, the second half is a bit better, though if you dont like it you wont like it

so you're still in if we do something together VTEC?

ABCTypeS

hey sorry i didnt come look at the exhaust that weekend ago. if it is still for sale, ill be over that way on tuesday and wed if i could drop by and look at it. do you have a clip, cus im not really big on buying exhaust i havent heard. maybe we can work something out if i could leave you collateral and mount it up at work. sorry just thinking out loud but id love to come check it out regardless

ABCTypeS

Hey what M5 are you looking at. I had a Z3 before the TL and looking to get a E36/4 M3 and turbo it or an E46 M3. I love the typeS but i live for Bimmers

Ry4an

I agree, there's no need for any site content. I just wanted to make a nice, short address (http://www.mspacura.org) that we could put on cards instead of a long description on how to find us in a topic on acurazine.

underst8

Diffuser business is dead in the water unless there is some hidden untapped market I am missing. The demand is not enough to make them affordable right now. I'm still looking around though.


Josh I am going to miss the brew party man. Going to Chicago for a formal Deloitte event with Kate. That sucks I wanted to brew mead.

MyPearl02

Ive got a place in town that cuts vinyls all you have to do is design what you want he will scan them and BAM! out pops your vinyl.

asujosh1

Hey Razzi, that reminds me, you owe me either some of your mom's famous eggrolls or the name of a good Vietnamese or Chinese place in the city.

I want a 2003, but by the time I am ready to buy one, I am going to have to get an E60 because 2003s will be entirely too old and will have too many miles on them.

What kind of costs are you looking at for vinyls? If the price is right I might want to purchase quote a few of them in different colors. I need to get some made for Roaylty Racing, my brother's shop. (and mine too if I can find a decent space up here)

Sucks to be you! No, seriously, the D&T party should be a good time, I used to go to events like that in my consulting days. D&T does have more boondoggles than any other company I know of...

Razzi

what the hell are D&T parties? and boondoggles...
oh man them eggrolls lol, when we can decide on a meet ill get up early and make some with my ma mom, extra pipin fresh for twin cities' finest
ill take some MSPACURA vinyls or something as long as it isnt a huge ass foot by a yard banner that stretches across my windshield lol

asujosh1

D&T = Deloitte & Touche, a consulting firm that Dan's girl is working for.

Boondoggle = complete waste of corporate money, usually a trip of some sort, usually intended to increase the morale of the employees that have been worked to the bone for the past year.

Oh yeah, and that video, um, no entiendo?

Spiritman

You guys crack me up......

Alperovich

hit me up if you'll be in town

Razzi

what's an entiendo? is it like a nintendo?

underst8

It's spanish - he was saying he didn't understand that video.


In other news, I have been wasting time at work messing with the http://www.mspacura.org/ site. Go check it out and give me feedback. I still need info on your cars (mods if you don't have a sig on this site) and if you want a particular pic of your car used in the bio section I'll need that too. Also, not sure if you want your first names on there like I put mine, so if you don't let me know and I will just use your Azine name in its place. Still need to put some pics up directly on the photogallery section (will probably do that in dreamweaver). And I am going to add a small Acura logo on the top right of each page.

If you have any suggestions let me know. And email any mod information and a pic to drobs1@gmail.com

happy driving.

Alperovich

nice site!! i like.

Razzi

lol dan you beat me one step to it, i was gonna do the same thing. even the freakin layout was right out of my mind lol
oh and i dont understand the video either, it's korean. but it's still tight

Razzi

for the members section tho, i was thinking we could have our own links to a page and display a few pix of our own along with our mids, kinda like how has it

GLowrdr

Post a pic of our MID's? So everyone knows I just changed my oil?

I checked out the tri-state site and that's a pretty good setup. Glad to hear we're getting something going. I wish I knew more about the inner-net.

Maybe this is one of those things you just keep to yourself, but when I first read the link before going there, I was like "who the hell is Trista?"

Razzi

mids = rides dunno what the hell i was thinking

bwaha, trista tevip? only the hottest girl ever

underst8

I like that idea too. I just checked out the tristate site and I like some of the things they have going. I will modify the members section to be more like their's - a thumbnail leading to a page with more pics and descriptions of mods. I also will add a videos section if we ever make any (that can be shown on the internet without risk of dire consequences).

Thanks for the input and keep the ideas coming.

Send any pics and list of mods you want on your member's page to underst8@mspacura.org and if you want an email address at that domain we can do that too. Let me know if you want your real names or member names displayed too!

Anyone on here from MN who wants I will add a member page for you. And you guys from WI and Chitown, if you ever make it up you will get an honorary member page

Razzi

Razzi@mspacura.org plz
btw i was thinking if we decide to have a front page before the site, we should all get together at that big spoon with the cherry and snap and picture. nothing likes msp acuras like a buncha acuras in front of the big spoon
oh did u get my email dan or should i resend to the new one?

asujosh1

Dan, I like how you used the photo from my guest parking area, as Borat would say, veeery niiice!
