as for the national meet, I was planning on going but a friend just got engaged and his wedding is that weekend so no go for me anymore.
I thing it would be cool to go. What kind of event anybody else interested in going

Nothing really going on I guess. But I'll stop by that autovault around noon.

I think our communication via forum is very bad. I know everyon is busy with work and stuffs, but I am just wondering if any of you guys use wechat, viber, whatsapp or any chatting app.

Didn't we have a Facebook page long time ago?

We got the admin thing figured out in the group above. I created the page some time ago, but I'm still admin. I'll make a few admins too just so the page doesn't die off like last time (when I sold my TL)

So - We're back bitches! Beautiful day out. Too bad it's supposed to rain in a few hours. Really wanted to wash my car

Yayyy, welcome back Glow! I'm also an admin. We'll create events and post info. on there. We changed the name to Minnesota Acuras (MNA) in an effort to reach more people Here's the link again: https://www.facebook.com/groups/77593531010/

I wish it would've rained earlier in the day instead of tonight since I wanted to have a bonfire! I need to wash both of my whips as well, especially BIG RED since I haven't given her the spring cleaning treatment yet

I just confirmed your request. Our Minnesota Acuras (MNA) group shows up when I search for it on my iPhone 5... You should be able to find it now that you're a member

Checked the cost of the 105k service with Buerkle Acura today.. WOW was I surprised.. They wanted $1,899 for the service.. I was expecting it wasn't going to be too check, figured somewhere around $1,000, but not close to $2k for the service.. eff that!

While that was not a deciding factor in selling my car, it definitely pushed me to sell it in the fall, rather than hanging onto it until spring. I wanted to say "Wasn't due for service yet" rather than "Didn't have it done yet"

Lucky-J, just get the parts and have a performance shop do the job for less. $1000 easy. Dealerships are overpriced just because they go by the book hour, when you are really paying $300-$500 just letting the car sit back there when it's done.

Some respectable shops who are good at working on Honda/Acura, FullBlown, RS Motors, MAP, and Devoted Auto. I'm sure there's others.

I believe our Honda dealership in Duluth charges a little under $1000 for the 105k service
