Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

With the way the weather was last night, I just hope it's not snowing! Who's idea was it to have the cruise this late in the year? haha

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

I am tired of the rain. all it has been doing is raining in detroit since wed when we got here.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

This is about par for the course timing-wise. Weather will be fine, it'll be warmer than it is now.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

With everything else going on in the fall it seems like the cruise is generally pushed until mid-October. September was a crazy busy month, and we wanted to do the dyno-day before the cruise, and I sure am glad the cruise wasn't this weekend :D The weather for next weekend is looking decent; high 40's but sunny. Just dress appropriately since we will be standing outside for the driver's meeting.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Haha I wasn't questioning the timing of the event, I was just giving you guys a little shit ;)

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Ugh, that meet spot is gonna suck to get to in the morning lol.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Registered, car is alive again.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Scheides and I did the final planning tonight and I got a chance to sit down and and look at E85 stations. As long as you have a FULL tank of E85 or pump gas when you arrive to the meeting location you will have enough for the entire day when we get to our hotel in Chippewa Falls. There is an E85 station just northeast of our hotel on the same road.

Also, thanks in advance to Kevin 1G Drummer for becoming our Cruise bitch and getting our map packets printed and stapled. He will be the one to get your packet from come Saturday.

What mileage is this assuming you get?

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

If you get 14mpg or better you'll be fine (assuming a 14+ gallon tank). I've yet to let you E85 guys down ;)

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Well, I'd be game to go for sure if the damn bank sorts out what happened with the person from TX that charged my account over $600 in their bills. So far, I'm locked out of my own account and sorting shit out. Great. I'm rather upset.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Yay! Updated list, 16 registered cars! This is gonna be a blast!

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

You should have 17 now.

Forcast for sat and sunday is near 60 and sunny. :D

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Good. I didn't want to be caught with my pants down so I put the snow tires on this morning.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Yeah, I'd rather not run on the all-seasons, so hopefully that forecast sticks.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

That we do; I got your registration!

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

If we don't leave at 8am sharp do I get free beer from the people that call and say I'm running late?

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Anyone not in the Cub Foods parking lot at 8am owes me a beer Saturday night. Non-negotiable :) I don't care who you are or what your excuse is, you and your passengers will all owe me a beer.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Duly noted. I'm coming from exactly opposite the meeting spot, so I'm the most likely candidate for accidental lateness. I'll do what I can.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Mabe some one can get there man card back this weekend with some drinks give out to a few people

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

What about 8:00am and 30 seconds?

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Oktoberfest seasonal please :D

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

We're up to 18 cars now!

Thanks Jake, got your payment.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Haha not anymore... Unless Jake is going to be staying somewhere in the cities friday night, he's coming from Hutchinson.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

I don't know, I could be running early by 10 minutes and wind up 10 minutes late with the friend I might be bringing, somehow he always manages to take 50x as long as it would take anyone else to get off their ass and out the door...

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

damn, i really hope the fall colors are in full bloom when you guys out over there. Just came back from Duluth and the fall colors were quite amazing.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Me too :)

Spaz, you have no excuse if you are late and we are on time.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

If you hutch guys wanna crash at my place again friday night, that's cool! Just LMK when you're coming :)

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Also, be sure to make sure your cars are in tip-top shape! Check your fluids and tires!
-oil level
-coolant level
-power steering level
-brake fluid level
-washer fluid
-tire pressure
-alky level :D

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Great list! Thank you. Also, if your car leaks any drivetrain fluids now would be a great time to check and top-off those before the cruise.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO ARRIVE AT THE CUB FOODS MEETING SPOT WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS! WE DO NOT HAVE ANY FUEL STOPS PLANNED SINCE EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE HOTEL ASSUMING THEY START WITH A FULL TANK.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Be in the Cub Foods parking lot with your tanks already full by 8am! I know its early guys but we have some awesome routes planned and I wanted to make sure we were able to hit all of them while still getting a good lunch.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Flurry of activity this morning! Game on for tour of Leiney's on sunday! I'll bring some baggies for those who drank too much the night before ;)

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

None of those people who drank too much will be allowed in my car this time. haha

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

I'm bringing a friend with on the cruise this time so I feel bad asking to stay since it's more than just me and jake lol.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Whatever, we got room, the futon, an air mattress, and a couch. We'll have a beer or two then crash early.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

I'll be working until 10pm on friday so I won't get there until probably about midnight. I'll try to get off early though if it is slow and try to be there around 11-ish. Thanks again Scheides :)

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

No prob, it'll make the cruise more fun if you get some sleep and less driving all in one chunk!

Re: MitsuStyle Fall Cruise 2009 - October 17-18, 2009!
 

Sleep? I'm not going to have any idea what that is. I'm working a 16.5 on Friday. I need to remember to buy some 5-Hour Energies before I leave work that night.
