Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

I decided to be nice :) I have two stations picked out for Saturday along the route and one for Sunday just north of New Ulm that you guys can stop by on your way north towards the Cities.

As long as you can get 100 miles per tank you'll be fine.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

40's and sun, it may be a bit chilly, but the driving will be fine!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Man I am freaking pumped for the route! We will be going on some FUN FUN FUN roads that I used to bomb around in while in college down south and I have been on them recently in beaterX and they are still the bomb! Great high-speed sweepers and some nice tight twisties.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Yay! 100 mile intervals ftw!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Oh Psh Posh neither Talon is even operable. :rude:
It will be nice to have a window that rolls down anyway. I will be bringing my DSLR and hopefully will get some great shots without window glare.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Map packets are done! I will provide a link to the cruise route in Google Maps on Saturday morning at the meeting spot.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

My 3 fuel jugs will be brimmed and buckled in the back seat and probably a ratchet strap holding them all together.

BECAUSE RACECAR

...hopefully it's enough.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

i would think that is enough. If its not, I honestly think your car would run on normal e85, it would just be rich and fuel trims would get it close enough to at least drive home I would think.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Josh, with 2 90-mile intervals between E85 stops I will not be carrying any fuel. If you are coming out to Brick's tonight I can give you my two spare containers and will carry them for you on the cruise.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

I'm not going to Bricks tonight. Do you have the VP style jugs? Otherwise, I have more regular gas cans that still seal air tight.

I'd feel better about having someone carry a 4th jug for me-based on what my fuel usage was like at TX2k.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

I can't wait! This cruise is gonna be huge even if some of the sandy vaginas bail.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Saturday looks nice...

Seriously fuck this state lol.

Every day this month I look at the 10 day forecast, it gives us HORRIBLE weather for the next 4-5 days then magically says it will be 60-70 after 10 days and nice. yea right, I will believe that when I see it.

what a crap spring. Must move to Texas for epic weather year round.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

^X2.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

I'm feeling much more confident about my call on tires now. :)

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

ಠ_ಠ

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Fuck 'em, more fun for us!
Bitchin'!
Now you know why I moved (as if I don't remind you enough already).
x3!

We're leaving around midnight tonight, plan to be in Minnesota by early afternoon tomorrow and check out MAP's new shop along the way. Probably meet up with Asshanson and caravan from Iowa up.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Might see you at MAP :) I'll be there tomorrow morning at 9am.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

I think we'll be there sometime early afternoon. If you're around, we can go grab lunch maybe.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Well, unless something goes my way I will be there. Going to be doing a lot of troubleshooting trying to get ready for the cruise.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Fuck this weather, x4.

Cancel the ZII install. Fuck it, running my shitty all seasons.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

The guys on the bomber run are giving good feedback on the route and lunch spot! Some sun to melt the snow is obviously ideal so keep your fingers crossed!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Nothing like 4 inches of snow to get you juiced for the cruise...

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

4"? Closer to 6 by me right now.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

WE HAVING A COMPETITION? I GOT EIGHT INCHES BRO.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

I got a feeling he will be able to those away at the hotel for you.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Probably about 3" of snow down here in New ulm.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Excellent! It seems the further south you go the less they were hit by snow. From looking at the radar maps, nothing south of the MN/IA boarder seems to be getting much snow in the way of effecting travel which will be good for us tomorrow.

Bobby - Hope your dealership is ready for us come 8:30am Saturday morning!!!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Good to hear

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

It's still piling up here. Looks like Friday and Saturday are still supposed to be nice. At least the roads will be clear of snow and ice

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

With nearly 50's and rain forecasted for Sunday, I am about 95% sure I'll rock the summer tyres.

I better return to the garage and finish screwing the thing together...

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

By the looks of it, the roads should be decent if this shit let's off tonight/early tomorrow. The 47* temps on Saturday should help a bunch.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

So, I probably shouldn't be driving my car in this crap, even with dry roads the star specs won't get much grip. FU weather. And they might not be cleared Friday by the time I drive up.

Anyway, Kracka has offered me a ride from Des Moines to Minneapolis tomorrow, and I planned on staying at Peter's house in Eagan Friday night. Is anyone on the cruise coming from the Burnsville/AppleValley/Lakeville area that might be driving through Eagan on Saturday morning to the cruise meet spot? If anyone is willing to pick me up that would be awesome, otherwise I am going to have to drive the escort up.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Truckstuff! The prerun was fun.

I think I got goodhart to pucker up a couple of times.

Drifting while driving one handed eating a candy bar... like a boss.

Also important info. There's a liquor store right next to the hotel.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

I drive right though there on the way up. I can give you a ride!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Sweet, thanks! Looks like I will be riding this cruise again.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Hey at least you're coming with!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Something about sand vaginas?

..Or it's only ok for 'Mitsustyle Elite' to back out because of weather.

Hmmmm....

But in all non-car forum, nut-flexing, 'DO U EVEN LIFT BRO?', internetz attitude talk. I fully understand not bringing a sports car out. Just trying to stir up some shit and rattle some cages. :)

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

Yea I know, I wimped out, I am guilty of sandy vag as well.
Still excited for all other aspects of the cruise!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
 

If I can be honest, I'm kinda glad I won't be seeing the lotus. I'd be trying to hide a stiffy the whole time.
