I got it, good stuff. Check your email.

I do like the big spoon idea I think it is very appropriate. Where is that big spoon exactly?

TheWeez

Big spoon is at the Walker off 394 and 94. Dunwoody exit.

Email sent with a link to my pics...

Thanks dude...

Razzi

lovin the progress guys

Razzi

oh and im looking at picrures of the Spoonbridge and Cherry and im not seeing any parking spaces. so we might have to scratch that

underst8

We can all tear onto the grass in a coordinated positioning of our cars/storming of the spoon, all jump out and take as many pics as we can until we have to scramble from the Walker security. It just might work

GLowrdr

Hmmm... I have to work that day I think....


I guess this means that I should snap some shots of my car huh? Maybe this weekend if it stays nice out enough that I can get from the car wash to my house without getting stuck behind some jacked up 4x4 with no mud flaps.

Maybe I could go the ebay way - and just use some stockies from Acura...lol

As for chinese... I like the Dragon House off of central (65) and 40th. Another great place is the Lotus Garden. That again is off central and... umm.. Not sure the cross street. It's in Blaine, by a J's pizza and a pawn shop. They have been voted best spring rolls for like 5 out of the last 7 years. Good stuff.

definitive

I suggested dinner at Shuang Cheng when we all met at Target and was told by Razzi that it had a bad rep for cleanliness, but I love the place.

Village wok, on the other hand never impresses me.

When I'm looking for soup I usually go to Pho 79 on Nicollet or Pho Tau Bay on Nicollet. When I'm on University near Dale I can't keep away from Little Szechuan -- their spicy bamboo appetizer is amazing.

Razzi

that couldnt have been me, i've never even heard of the place. and it never fails to make me smile seein a white guy eat pho

underst8

Razzi

Razzi

what the hell is that from josh?
well, the fronts not suppose to fall off

asujosh1

its from some Australian comedy act, they apparently do a lot of stuff like that.

ABCTypeS

hey man thats awesome. ill email you and ABCTypeS@mspacura.org please. thanks

also im now on my second transmission and VETC do you still have that exhaust for sale?

asujosh1

By the way, Shuang Cheng is pretty damn good. I kind of put the guy on the spot and said, 'what's really good?' and he recommended a really tasty dish that wasn't too pricey. I had the Mongolian Beef and E (the wife) had a mock duck dish that was pretty excellent. Dan was sweating his head off with some Curry Beef, it was quite funny.

Now we just need to check out the rest of that list. But, Shuang Cheng has definitely been added to the list of places for good Chinese.

Razzi, I still want some of those famous eggrolls though! You should bring a gang of them to the next meet.

Razzi

like i said man, the eggrolls will happen as soon as we get together lol. we never seem to gather so i just enjoy em as i watch some korean dramas

VTEChump

Yep, still for sale, I PM'ed you my cell number, give me a call if you want to come look at it sometime.

underst8

Razzi email me a picture of your car underst8@mspacura.org.

Ry4an what year is your car? same question for you Nate.


Went on a speed run on 394 last night and tango'd with a 3g TL - fun times.

Razzi

sent, did ya get pwnted dan?

underst8

not pwned, I had him until we got up around 100 then he had me.

Razzi

lol, still nice

quick question, especiaally for the 2nd TLers, my car's making this stupid humming/vibrating noise as i go faster, i've asked around and it's been suggested as either lower ball joint or wheel bearing. i've been told by more reputable sources that it's the wheel bearing. went to autozone to ask for one, but they said it came as an entire hub assembly, im almost positive you can buy it separate.
any comments, im searching as i post this

Razzi

other thing, i just got some new exhaust tips for my car cause the old ones were rusting. problem is, the inside pipe that the tip clamps onto, it kinda angles downward so it forces the tip to also slant downward, the other tip slants to one side. i tried to force the pipe by hand but god that shit is thick. so im wonderin if anyone has a torch or something that i can heat this shit up and bend it, or a really really big ass wrench

if it doesnt make any sense i'll take pics tomorrow

Ry4an

06. The 09 RL is due out mid-model year and it's rumored to be a full body refresh, so in a few months I'll already be a generation behind and with something to covet.

Razzi

Sunday is the brew party, but if you're bringing eggrolls, I'll be sure to at least stop in for a visit...

By the way, I had that same problem with my first 2nd gen (non Type S) it sounds like the pads have completely worn out and you are pressing metal against metal? If so, the fix is a new wheel bearing. Mine was the left front, went out at 50K miles.

ABCTypeS

meet? meet where? im in

Razzi

let's crash josh's brew party
if ur gonna be busy josh, we can wait till the week after, the more the merrier. yeah i'll tell my mom to make some eggrolls.

I'm not trying to be a wetblanket, but from years of living on the west side AND as the acquaintance of a Golden Valley police officer, I can tell you that 394 is the most heavily patrolled stretch of highway in the state. In a Co-operative between the GVPD and Minnesota State Patrol, there are speed traps on 394 on a daily basis. (usually around the Louisiana Exit).

I'm known for my lead foot, but I've been told you should never go above 65 between Penn and Plymouth Rd., so I don't.

Now, if you're looking for an unpatrolled 1.5 mile road with no turns and a median, you MIGHT find it along the river by DT Saint Paul...

underst8

i know it's not something i do on that highway often...this was at like 1am and I was out cruising for a bit to calm down and just got it up to speed for a minute then back down to the limit...Josh just informed me of the 3-ticket license is gone rule in this state, so now that is always on my mind ruining my fun.

I will have to check out that other road, though

nice to see some members in MN. where were you guys when I was in MN? lol

ABCTypeS

My family lives next to the former police chief of Golden Valley. And yea 394 is a death trap.


The St. Paul Mississippi river road is good. but sometimes you'll run into a few slower cars, its def a good drive. me and some people ran it last fall at a meet at St. Thomas
