Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

yeah that shit was retarded, really pissed me off. Thanks to everyone for stopping for me. I need to get that pedal permanently fixed!!!! I ran Emily on 394 once at about 80% throttle and an .875 IAM (ECU was on it's way to retard mode) and walked her good though :D

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Just a thought, you could attach a pedal pad to the firewall. Just make sure to find one that's 9 pennies high.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Don't believe anything that kid says. Has he shown you a dyno graph? He said he dynoed it at John Haley's.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Wouldn't it be better to store your car with a full tank of gas with Stabil in it so the tank doesn't rust? I would think that would be way better. And if you drive the 1G, holy sideways launching batman. My quest doesn't even get that much angle, haha.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Can't accuse him of babying that car, that's for sure.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Yep, do this. Gas has so many additives these days that it stays fresh much longer than it used to.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

I'm amazed it left there in one piece.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Yea, that's my heap of junk... That's with a gentile 4500 Shepard style slip too.... need wider tyres.

The only time that car comes out of the stable is when it's going to be whipped.


Dumb question I realize, but I'd like to be sure: does E85 last as long as E10 when stored?

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

E85 is hydroscopic, so the longer you keep it the bigger chance it has of collecting water. On a new car it might not be an issue, but if you have a hole or any seepage of any kind that could mean water in the tank.

I'd personally keep an E85 car very low on gas and fill up in the spring.

Oh, and you were good and sideways on that launch before getting onto 494, lol, it was quite funny...my two step was acting all weird rev hanging so I ended up kind of launching behind you and spinning too.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

hygroscopic

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Hmmm, really? Interesting as I would've assumed as it collects water, therefore I thought it was hydro, lol. Regardless, thanks for the correction :)

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

^ No problem, it's a common mistake (especially when people are discussing brake fluid).

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Thanks for the information, gentlemen. I shall keep her drained until spring.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

And cigars. :smoking:

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

So since everyone decided to go to the new meet, which is 5 times the driving time and on a night that I work, and will henceforth be called the "inconvenient" meet, is there going to be a meet tonight?

Or are we just going to split up in to little groups that'll never see each other and do a meet every night of the week like MNSC.ghey?

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

I'd like you all to come to downtown Saint Paul so I can walk to the meet. Sound good?

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

I'm out for tonight. Gotta wine and dine my wife to make up for all the $$ I'm spending on my car. Happy wife, happy life!

Spaz i don't enjoy 45min drive each way or using a 1/4 tank to go to meets with no fun time included.

I'm not totally against it, but it was nice to meet up for a bit and then be home within 20 mins.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

we will be back next wed. I just have not had any money to go out on weds

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

I'm out I have ribs on the grill and beer in hand.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Sounds good to me, better than going to Plymouth.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Seriously, I don't know who's been pissing in your cheerios lately, but check the attitude at the door Moss Jr. It's getting real old, real quick, and I'm not alone on this.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Call me selfish, but I wouldn't have a problem if it didn't effect me. I would have been at the other meet last night, if I wasn't leaving work after you guys had already left Davannis as will be the case every single week. Splitting up the meets is going to cause a lot more non-existent meets, where nobody decides to show up because not enough people are going. The idea behind the Wednesday night meet was that it was a night that worked for a majority of the regular attendees.

If it's more convenient for more people to have the meet elsewhere, I have no problem with that. Plymouth is pretty far away from all but 3 of us after all. But can we please just keep it on Wednesday night?

And for the record, if you have a problem with my actions, me being loud, etc, call me out on it. But if you have a problem with what I have to say, ignore it. Seems to work for those you're not alone with.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

We call him spaz for a reason :) He's been like this since I met him. I am sort of on the same page with keeping it one night, plus I feel like the legacy should continue on Wednesdays (since it's been that way for 5+ years). I like meets but can't go to both when I can go. Both are 30 minutes or so away from me, which isn't a big deal, but that means I can't go to both, I could care less where we decide to have them, that davanni's was good.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

wow, all of the attendees of last nights meet apart from maybe mlomker & doughtcom were people that are not regular attendees of the wednesday night meet.
so 2 out of the 8 plus my wifey would be at the meet AFAIK.

I'm not saying, im just saying.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Meets use to be on a tuesday night at applebees of hwy 100, even that was far for me, but teh fun and the fact I was ballin' made it worth it.

That was until oct. 07 when they closed.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Was that Tuesday? Fuck I thought those were Wednesdays?! I liked that applebees, it's a new Mexican restaurant that just opened up, been meaning to check it out for possible meets.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Oh and ( o Y o )

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

I've only made the hike to Plymouth once. I show when the venue is closer. I don't care what day it is on.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

As I said, I have zero issues going elsewhere, and if elsewhere will bring more people, game on. But anything other than Wednesday won't work for me.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

lmao :rock2:

my bad homes, i guess i was lucky to see you when i went then. :woohoo1::kissass:

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

All I said was check the attitude at the door please.

A more centralized location than Plymouth would be excellent. I don't think anyone really cared that it was a Tuesday, it was the more centralized location that got us there. You don't like the longer drive? Welcome to our side of the story, except take your now longer drive and double that for what it takes us to come to the meets in your home town.

So in a nut shell, a more centralized meet, on a Wednesday, sounds like it'd be the best solution.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

How about by where the applebees is where we met? That's not too far is it? Should we try that new Mexican place? I'm trying to think of northish more eastern burbs that aren't North Minneapolis. I could check out the Mexican restaurant this weekend.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

That would be more do-able. Still about a 25min drive for some of us, but better than the 35 or so it takes to Plymouth.

What about the champps / acapulco that was suggested in the other thread off 694 and Silver Lake Rd? That'd be like 15-20 for people in the western burbs, 15-20 for those living in Minneap or St. Paul, and about 15 for us northern folk.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Yeah, Plymouth is borderline BFE Any further than OC on 55 and you're looking at farmland. Not really much out here besides a bunch of chain restaurants, and it would probably be good to get my ass out to other parts of the city occasionally. That's not to say I'd be cool with East St. Paul every week, but you get the idea.

Sorry about being an ass earlier, I was pissed about the weather and not being able to get some stuff done, and it didn't help that my initial thought on the new meet (being that it would kill the regular one) was fulfilled. There are other issues too, but I think we'll leave it at that.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

I don't think anyone would really have a problem with keeping it on Wednesday, so no worries there dude :) Just somewhere more centralized.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

I vote more central too. I liked the meets at the old bees, also people always showed at wagners and porkys. I stopped going to the OC meets because it was too far, and the food and beer are way overpriced unless its happy hour.

Chammps off 694 next tuesday or wednesday. Lets do it.

Since no one is really coming from south of minneapolis, Id say that is the best location.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Chammps. Wednesday. Done.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

A valid point I believe is that most of our members are on the northern side of the cities, yes i know we have some south too.

Re: Old Chicago - every Weds @ 8pm in Plymouth
 

Well if I decide to go to these meets again, I'd be coming from the airport, but I'm heading towards the northwest metro so it's not a big deal. I'd like to start going to meets again, so something in that area works better for me than Plymouth.
