Anyone near St. Paul, MN?
 
Anyone from or near St. Paul Minnesota? I am most likely relocating there from Dallas - Want to find out where are good places to meet new people - also any really good place to eat, bar, visit etc.

I guess it does snow there often and I heard from few people I may need "chain" for my tires? Currently on Z rated 20" tires - I may need a winter setup?

Thanks in advance!

Or a truck and park the Z. Snow and salt are not a good mix for these cars. Good luck though.

I'm from Brooklyn park. A suburb of Minneapolis. Do you like Asian? Italian? American? Get a beater! Your car will rust in a couple years.

Yea most likely going to purchase a small 4x4 by the looks of it - haven't got the green light yet but planning ahead.

I'm in the northern Mpls. suburbs. We just came off a ice packed nightmare of a snowfall on Sat. Finally warmed up today and melted some of the ice ruts. My roadster goes into storage early Nov. and comes out early March. It's like getting a new car every spring... Not many Z's on the road here in the middle of Jan.

Good luck on your move...

Found out the job is in "Bloomington" - I guess it's south of Minneapolis.
This place have any ethnic food? Such as Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, etc?

Do you take 100? I swear I see a red Z every once in a while on 100.

Just wanted to turn the 2011 z around in the garage and instantly got stuck in the alley during this winter. Car is completely useless in the winter, I love it and bought a 2010 pilot to drive in the winter. Funny switching between the two cars. Going from the z to the pilot makes the pilot feel as if its dragging something and as if the brakes don't work.

homeryansta 03-06-2013 08:37 PM

any of you fools wanna go autox with me?

Minnesota Autosports Club - April 20-21 MAC Novice Autocross Drivers School is open for registration

Already that time of the year? We'll see how my summer looks, but the all day commitment is tough.

Welcome to Minnesota Advan. There are plenty of multicultural restaurants in MN.
I suppose you're Asian also, looking for some Asian food joints?
Wow, that's some kind of fancy job you have there.
I'm a bottom of the barrel dead end job employment barely scraping by. :p
While you're moving up here, I'm ready to move out of here to either TX or AZ.
This winter just made me hate it even more. I was forced to drive my Z on one of the days that snowed and I went sideways in my Z on the freeway! Luckily, I didn't hit anything and no one hit me. I'm not going to do that again.
BTW, you can drive your Z in the winter here, but only after they plow and clear the roads. The roads here right now are clear and dry (even though there is still snow around on the grass area), so it should be fine to drive your Z.

Hey homeryansta, you still around? :)
How's it going?

My brother says he saw a black 370Z with the Amuse kit up here in the Brooklyn Center area, it at least had the Amuse wing.

I'm not sure if that owner hangs around here or not, but I'd like to check out his exterior modifications. I have the Amuse wing, I just haven't attached it yet. Waiting to get other things done first (new exhaust, steel brake lines, rims/tires, etc.).

Anybody here in the Minneapolis area know of any really good complete audio installer/s with a excellent rep and does quality work?? ......

Thanxz, Dez

I've used Communication Center. I only had them hardline my radar detector tho, so not really any help, but it's worth checking them out. I plan to have them run the cables for my sub enclosure's i'm building.

Thanks man. :tiphat:
