Just bought one at Luther Mazda and I liked the staff. No idea about service though.

Chipotle would be cool it is almost across the street from me and there are plenty of other restaurants around there if someone doesn't like it.

Yep, IntakedRotary wants to be there as well.

12:15pm should work fine.

We could meet in the parking lot at Chipotle's in Blaine 105th Avenue and Highway 65.

I actually live in Woodbury, I just said St. Paul so people from out of state have a general idea of where I am located, so about how many Minnesotans are there in this forum?

I just bought an RX-8 from Luther Mazda last Tuesday (2006 SS GT). Absolutely love the car, and the dealership was very nice.

I live in Edina.... I unfortunately don't think I can make the 17th, but I'll register on the MN site so that I can stay in the loop.

Question - where in town do you guys get your car washed? I took mine to a local self-serve car wash near Highway 7 and 169... I didn't want to use one of those "touch" car washes and I didn't want to use one that would pull you along because of the lower ground clearance. (Some require 5" of ground clearance... RX-8s only have 4.7").

I know what you mean filterban. Welcome to the club.

I have a new Holiday gas station real close to me that has nothing on the floor to catch on and it does a fairly decent job. Most of the time I take it to the DIY car wash though.

Nice thing is if you come out you can see what others have done.

Helps get ideas for things that cost practically nothing but a little time.

Talk about cars, eat, take scenic drives, do installs or maintenance work on the cars.

We will be doing a class on lubrication (oil and gear lube).

Another thing I think would be cool is to get together and watch the DIY Rotary Rebuild series.

Some of us are looking at taking an auto-X class in St. Paul (two day, first day is class, second is hands on).

We are open to suggestions as well.

Sweet another silver. Welcome to the club.

The Sunlight Silvers are multiplying. For a while I was under the impression that it was just Truemagellen and me that had Sunlight Silvers here in Minnesota.
