My vag is sandy but ill be there anyways. Summer or winter tires? Can't decide. Premium or nordeast? Tough decisions!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
If the weather doesn't turn around(atleast mostly dry roads for me). I'll be in the raptor and have 4 comfy seats open for the ride.
I scoped out a few spots along the route today where odds of driving down the ditch will be really high if I take the truck. And possibly a couple of cut-across-cornfields shortcuts. |

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

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
Still snowing!
Mounting snow tires, I don't wanna die... :) |
Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
WEellllllll, the whole area of the cruise we will be out of where most of the snow fell:
http://i.imgur.com/38MJTjP.png Mayyyybe I'll just leave the summers on. But no bother what happens, we'll still have a BLAST! Roads will be interesting either way, lunch will be delish, and partying in New Ulm will be off the chain! |
Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN

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

Snow tires/beat-up rims mounted on beaterX, plowed my whole way to work, will plow the whole way to New Ulm if I have to!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
The free car washes kinda seem moot now :( Though I will still have tokens for those who want one.

100% chance of truckstuff tomorrow.
I've been dragging my feet with stuff and just realized my drum of E98 is about ~10GAL short of what I think it will take to make the trip. Oh well. BECAUSERACECAR :( |

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
Hey guys, I'll be at the dealership a little before 8am. I've discussed it with Richard, and he would like us to use our used car lot as our staging area. When you turn in to the dealership, immediately tun right and form 2 lines. There are a lot of people scheduled to be here, and we're going to need all the space we can get!
Also, once you're here there are rest rooms and free pop/coffee inside. http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/5977/parkingx.jpg |

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
I forgot until just now when I threw my stuff in the truck.
I have a GoPro mount on the windshield already. I should be able to get decent chase video. I'll have my other GoPro with a suction cup either on my truck too or to hand out to people between stops. |
Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
Ok, finally got on a computer here so I will post my impressions of the route from the bomber run. Maybe Josh can chime in as well with anything I miss.
-Noticed a few speed traps, I will try to have it noted on the packets -This route is primarily long sweeping curves, would be great for some high speed fun if the conditions allow it. There isn't really anything for tight and technical turns. -Be prepared to encounter snow!! There are a handful of spots where drifts across the road are very possible even with the warm weather today and tomorrow. -Salt/Sand: These roads were being salted and sanded yesterday on the bomber run, drive accordingly, and keep the shiny side up! -DRIVE TO THE CONDITIONS! I cannot stress this enough, we all know there has been inclimate weather in the last few days, if a section of road is not ideal drive accordingly! -E85 stops: There is ONE e85 pump at each of our fuel stops, room for 2 cars at a time to fuel up on e85. Both stations have plenty of parking, and are good sized stations with plenty of room for our huge group. -At the second fuel stop in Mankato, there is a Erb's and Gerb's is you wanted to grab a sandwich for after the bars. I will be getting one for sure. :) -There are both a bar and a liquor store within walking distance from the hotel. -When we go to the brewery, we need to consolidate vehicles. Pack it in, get multiple people in each car, there is not much for parking space at the brewery. -The road into the brewery is extremely narrow, there is no need to drive like a jackass here, take it slow. http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/.../1671/brew.png |
Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
I broke the two week rule. Swapped on snow tires this morning and put a new PCV valve on the car. Tested and works dandy. Topped up ye-old-oil burner and called it good to go!
Anna's still recovering from surgery so she's going to be sitting out. This means I've got a spare bed if anyone's interested. Also, I found out today that my tibia is actually cracked...doctors first said torn ACL, then bruised ligaments, now after an MRI and closer inspection, my leg is broken' right under my MCL. So, if I limp a little or walk slow, or shift slow, bear with me :) |
Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2013 cruise - April 20 & 21 - New Ulm, MN
I will have plenty of space in my car for the trip to the brewery.

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