San Diego or SoCal is awesome because there is no snow. I prefer no seasons. Allergies are terrible for me here. Cost of living is almost the same when it comes to taxes, but it's definitely more expensive to live out there. You just can't get the same house out there as you do here.

I grew up in the Silicon Valley area, then moved to New Mexico in middle school. It's like night and day when it came to schools. I don't know if I'd want to raise my kids there now, but they're older.

What's everyone up to this weekend??? Anyone up for some last second cruising?!?!?! I know its Father's day on Saturday...but not sure if anyone would want to get together this weekend?

Good to know...Thanks Dave for the input.

I would definitely be down, but I'm in Iowa learning how to do my job better.

LOL! nice, sounds fun.... :ugh2:

Mai-z 06-14-2013 05:59 PM

Well I'm a gymnastics coach. So it's not awful. It's kind of a meat market here with all of the female coaches

SmoothZ 06-14-2013 06:50 PM

Damn meat markets and female coaches! I hate it when that happens!

I've got a HS grad party for a relative that I'm going to in the early afternoon on Saturday, then a double date in the evening at Brit's Pub.

Sunday? Nothing that I know of. Isn't that Father's Day? I think I wouldn't mind going to Don Pablo's in Richfield.

Mai-z 06-15-2013 03:00 PM

Haha this congress workshop was a blast! The bar tender cut me off bc I looked too drunk. I convinced her that I wasn't too drunk (which I was waaaay too drunk) by sticking a standing back flip. She gave me a free shot of Jameson in return. #winning

SmoothZ 06-16-2013 09:48 AM

Went out to Brit's Pub last night. Not sure what made me mildly sick, but I think it was a combo of eating too much, not enough water, and mixing pints of beer with Crispin hard cider. Fun times, though. Haven't been downtown on a date in years. The place was packed.

Anyway, I found this on CL today. Anyone we know?

Was wondering if you still wanted to meetup? I just spoke to Tony yesterday morning again, and I need to get my order in asap. Debating between:

SS catback with 12" resonators & Resonated HFCs
or
SS catback with 18" resonators & Resonated TPs...(possibly double resonated)

Anyone else w/ a 370 have issues with their styrofoam crush guard falling down and being loose between the bumper/frame?

1cleanZ 06-30-2013 05:33 PM

Pic from this afternoon! Great food, and great to see everyone that showed up! I really wanted a pic of Dave, Par and I...would make a great "generation" photo

Pretty sure I passed that 40th anniversary on sat , I stayed in Bloomington Friday and Sat night for the tom petty concert. Great looking car !

SmoothZ 06-30-2013 08:28 PM

240, 350, 370 - that would have been cool.

I thought so too! I was talking to Emad about it and then he asked me to go drive his car so he could hear it from the outside....then by the time I remembered everyone was on their way out :(

Gotta make an excuse to get together again and get Par's a$$ out again

SR71 06-30-2013 09:07 PM

No real plans for the 4th...take it easy and grill at home I think.

Friday at 7pm Z meet at Sonic in Bloomington!

I will most likely be a C&C this Saturday too, weather is supposed to be awesome :tup:

Hey everyone! I have a 12 370Z in white base model. I just happened to be going to eat a Hunnan buffet on a fri night and there you all were, anyways I would love to meet everyone and look at your cars very soon. As im typing not sure if everyone is still at sonic. Hope to see everyone soon.

SmoothZ 07-05-2013 09:42 PM

I left at about 9PM. If you're up for it, we'll be going to Cars and Cafe early in the morning. It's in Chanhassen off Audobon Road.

Here's the link: July MN C&C Event

1cleanZ 07-05-2013 11:45 PM

Dave, did you know that its half priced shakes after 8?? Guess we have an excuse to stay until atleast 8 each time? :)

Nice, you should have stopped by! I actually just got home, Andrew and I were there till almost 11.

SmoothZ 07-07-2013 10:56 AM

I should've bought a shake! Oh, well. Next time!

I know right? Andrew is actually the one that told me....I was like WHAAAAT?? Now I've GOTTA order a shake!!!!!! Delicious too!

Anyways, hope all of you guys had a great 4th weekend. I'm still on the fence about heading up to BIR for Powercruise this weekend. My Kw's are in transit along with my SPC front and rear camber arms and toe bolts, just not sure how comfortable I feel about trying to rush everything, get the car stanced how I'd like, alligned all before Saturday. Guess delivery times will have a lot to do with if I go or not....

I could always go with the car setup how it is now, but the OEM Nismo springs are extremely "floaty", very very unpredictable when going around a turn and hitting the slightest bump.

Mai-z 07-09-2013 07:02 PM

Nope, it wasn't me! I was at work all day in Chanhassen and driving the honda.

WTF...looks like there's another black 370 in St Paul w/ exhaust.... hmmm, time to do some recruitin'!!

SmoothZ 07-10-2013 10:02 PM

Go get him, Lance!

Finished working on my front bumper. I like it. I see some bubbles in the 1080 vinyl, but I think it will go away.

1cleanZ 07-12-2013 11:02 AM

Dave did you use that try CF overlay? Looks pretty darn good! Nice work!!!!

Going from zero CF to 2 CF mods in like 2 weeks...is there something you're not telling us Dave?? :)

SR71 07-12-2013 04:28 PM

Looks good Dave

SmoothZ 07-12-2013 06:54 PM

Scott helped me with it. I bought a roll of 1080 CF vinyl flex from metrorestyling (?) off Amazon. I read the reviews and looked around to see which would be best for exterior applications.

Thanks for the comps, guys. I'm glad I did this.

1cleanZ 07-15-2013 01:23 PM

Sonic this upcoming Friday???
