I think that's an obvious statement, but to know how many exotics are around here i s tough. I always find it VERY suprising when I see a lambo or a sick ferrari in the area....OR a cleanly highly modified car in general ;-)

I've only had 2 of those experiences since moving up to the cities in '08(BESIDES shows like when HIN came up here). One was a new widebodied M3 that Nick and myself saw right by our apartment. Pulled up next to the guy in my 06 and talked to the driver. Guy that owned the car had NO IDEA what was done to it, paid the guy in the passanger seat to do everything to it(HATE people like that!!) The only other one I remember was last summer I was coming on an on ramp and was following a widebodied RX8. After driving next to it for about a whole 2 seconds a loud PSHHHHH, yep, turboed w/ one LOUD @SS BLOWOFF VALVE!! One of the cleanest cars I've seen though.

I've seen a couple Lambos on 394, as well as a Bentley in dt Minneapolis. I have seen the, or at least a, Carrera GT around Calhoun. And I'm pretty sure that F430 was at the auto show in the ulitmate garage display.

Alright guys I need your help. I'm currently on my way to Minneapolis, well actually Farmington, and my clutch just went spongy. Its still there, engauging a little closer to the floor and real light on the pedal compared to what it was. I think there's an air bubble in the line. I need to know what tools and sizes I need to bleed the system cuz I haven't done it on this car yet. And, if anyone will be around this afternoonor evening that could help me out id really appreciate it. I'm on my phone so ill check back in a little bit.

Also btw, I just got a private message from another fellow driver from down here in Roch, so he might be joining us for the meet too. I sent him a message with a couple links he should stay tuned with. Ben is up driving the 56 today, n I might have to set my sights hard on the new 37 after seeing this pic above....not to mention the new 37s are about as fast as my M currently :/

What's up guys. How's everyone doing? Haven't posted on here in awhile. Saw some of the G's at Cars and Cafe last weekend, they looked good! I only managed to get a picture of Peng's car before my phone died. Peng, your car looks great!

I've seen some cool cars by Lake Calhoun. The Porsche Carrera GT is running AWE straight pipes. Sounds amazing!

Apparently the city of Robbinsdale thought I had $145 bucks worth of fun this afternoon. I beg to differ.

But.... on a good note - I filled up at Costco w/ premium for $3.66 after everyone else raised up to 3.79 for regular. The only time I make a special trip to Costco is when everyone jumps their prices during the day - you can always trust Costco/Sams to stay until the end of business.
