This isn't a big meet, it's mostly friends getting together. Any car, modded or not is welcome.

Fronts are easy, I had more trouble with the back than the front.i rode front dropped and rear not for a day because the the rear was giving me shit, had to replace my rear sway bar links in the process.

Let's stop getting off topic people. I'd say we can meet somewhere around 10:30, maybe Jorge's again? Head out to lunch, and a cruise to Prescott works perfectly (As long as I get to cruise in the NSX ).

Does this work for everyone?

I had to replace the drivers side endlink, whoever invented those hex studs i'm going to give them hell lol. The reason i didn't do the front is because my passengers side through bolt bushing wont release the bolt, the bushing wants to rotate while i try taking the bolt out. I hit it with a hammer sprayed lubricant all over it and still no luck.

We can meet anywhere if you guys want to me at my house works for me or we can meet Como Park like we did that time. As for cruising on the NSX you got your big new truck travis will start charging you a ride fee. LOL.

I'd prefer meeting at Jorge's house but am fine with that location. I'd also choose a sit down restaurant like BWW or something similar. As for the cruise I was looking on the map and if we drive down to Prescott, where we were last time, and take HWY 10 for a couple of miles into WI we'll come to county road O which looks interesting on the map. We could take that till we meet up with the Great River Road and go south an take the bridge crossing at Wabasha to get back to MN and take HWY 61 back to the cities. I know it is kind of a long drive so we could shorten it by crossing back into MN at Redwing.

Yea, Como park is never a good place to meet on nice weekend, always packed and never any parking unless we meet by the soccer field. Sonic would be ok, but I live right by there so I'd be driving back and forth but its no biggie. Cruising to Prescott again sounds good, we could go down farther too if you guys want. Whatever is fine with me.

If you guy do want to go to sonic, we could meet at tanners lake in Oakdale, probably a mile or two from sonic. It's got ok parking and a good photo op setup or battle creek too.

That's why I shouldn't be the one planning this!! LOL! I tried.

Someone step up and post where you want to meet, where to head for lunch, and then where to cruise to!

I'm down for whatever as well....heck, we can do the same thing as last time if ya'all want. Jorge's house, BWW, and then cruise through Stillwater to Prescott.

We need to get it planned though so we can spread the word!

We can go off your plan, maybe just modify it with everyone's inputs if they have any, then we can make a final plan.

I liked it last time we all meet at Jorge's house that gives us somewhere to visit also I just bought Cards Against Humanity and would like to play it with you guys and Jorge's house would be a good venue from say 10 or 10:30-noon. Also if we wanted to keep it simple we could grill at his house instead of going out to eat just have people bring food and drinks. Then after lunch we can head out and see where the road takes us. This whole plan very much depends on if Jorge wants us all at his house thus his input is the final word on this idea.

Nice Wa it is true seasons almost coming to an end so we should all bring our rides and hang out. as far as meeting at my house I'm cool with it I got some pop still left from my son's grad party so it's up to y'all as far as the ride we can go wherever you guys want to go I'm open to it. The time is also perfect 10 or1030 sounds good. Kin and Ben said they did they would probably join us at 12 so they might go on the cruise. Great job Travis taking the bull by the horn. I don't know the game but I'm open to it Max.

The game is basically Apples to Apples but mean. Nate I have the main game and expansion packs 1-4. So if we are eating at Jorge's house I'll bring hamburgers and hot dogs, sorry Jake no steaks this time have you seen the prices, so chime in with what you're going to bring we'll need buns, chips, a desert.

I agree with meeting at Como Park, it's crazy there on the weekends. So how does this sound?

  • Meet at Jorge's place at 10-10:30
  • 2 options for lunch: Grill at Jorges, everyone bring something (will come up with a list if this is what we decide) OR Cruise to Stillwater for lunch (lots of great places to eat near the river, friend lives there and can recommend as well)
  • Cruise down to Prescott as we did last time, go into Wisconsin for some more cruising (there are roads that parallel the river on the Wisconsin side as well as back roads that could be fun)

Let me know which you prefer, grilling or going out to lunch - we can always figure out the cruise day off

As far as eating at Stillwater it is always crowded there specially this weekend it is going to be nice so if we decide to eat out we had plenty of parking at BWW in Maplewood. That would be better. Then go on that cruise as suggested. That's my opinion as far as eating out. BTW Jake if you ride the NSX you will be the photographer for some rolling shots

I've got no problem with being photographer, it'll give my GoPro some much deserved use!

As for eating, BWW in Maplewood or grilling? Sounds like people aren't too particular on grilling or going to eat, but we should get a plan locked down so people can either plan to eat somewhere, or plan to bring food.

Why don't we just plan to meet at Jorge's around 10-10:30am, and then we can cruise to BWW in Maplewood for lunch. From there, we can then cruise down through Stillwater to Prescott or something similar.

There...done.

Post up the meet wherever you can (Facebook, other forums, ect..), let's try to get a good turnout! Weather looks great for this weekend!!

Then it's settled we just have to grill at my house as far as installs it would've been nice to put my suspension but if I do that I cannot go for a cruise. If anyone else is certainly one down feel free to bring it we can try to install it.

I gotta get my car prepped up for Sunday! Give it a nice wash, claybar and wax! I also gotta install my new headlight bulbs! I haven't been able to claybar my car since I bought it a few months ago so I'm sure it's really contaminated!

Like I said earlier I'll bring hamburger patties and hot dogs. Now who is bringing the chips, buns, desert, and paper plates/cups so we don't have to do dishes afterward and anything else I may have missed.
