Posting from another forum. I will be there. As well as some of my buds. Would be nice to see some others out there.
I am proud to announce a very exiting event for the Minnesota car community. The Minneapolis Cars and Coffee event will begin on Saturday April 5th and will continue the first Saturday of every month at the Caribou Coffee/Einstein Brothers Bagels parking lot off of Shady Oak Rd and Hwy 62 in Minnetonka. We'll meet from 9am to 11am. Map to Location:

http://www.cariboucoffee.com/asp/loc...p&recordId=130

Please mark your calendars with the following dates:

April 5th
May 3rd
June 7th
July 5th
August 2nd
September 6th
October 4th

I met with management of both establishments and they are very exited to have us there and will do anything they need to accommodate us. I organized the same type of event in Scottsdale AZ and had a wonderful turnout month after month. Please click on the following link for some pictures:

There is a great sports/exotic car community here in the Twin Cities and it’s about time we followed suit and started our own Cars & Coffee event. These events are held in many parts of the country and are a great way for car enthusiasts to hang out for a couple of hours. Please forward this on to all of your sports/exotic car friends and encourage them to come on out. We’ll have some photographers out there and we’ll post up some shots on the different forums.
Hope to see you all there.
Thanks,
Luis

Hmmm I haven't been bowling a while.

Would anyone be interested in bowling, before the weather gets too nice?

You would believe what happen tonight.
police was searching through my ally with a dog. Me being a nice, I stopped my car at the end of the ally row my window down and ask if they need help or have any question. Well, the dog got on his rear legs and the front paws was on my car door. I was like nooooooooo. Got to the gas station and there and behold were some scratch marks. One was deeppppppppppppppp argggggggggggggg.

I was **** at first but they were just doing their job so now I look at it as being. I have a good reason for learning to take scratches out of cars:

Ah man that is BS, shouldn't they be expected to pay for that?

Thread for Sunroof power turnoff delay: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-powered-sunroof-after-removing-key-delayed-70601/

Pink / Black to green yellow in the driver's side kick. That is it.

And I have a cordless soldering iron now.

they should if they are nice about it. I didn't want to start arguing with them there. it must have been serious for them to look for someone with dogs and guns drawn.

Real nice ones (2 piece): http://www.racingbrake.com/RX8_s/4393.htm 4.4 lbls lighter each compared to 1-piece.

I like the open slot design

More economic option (1-piece): http://www.racingbrake.com/MAZDA_RX8_s/235.htm

Make sure and watch for sport and non-sport for the front rotors (they are different)

Even more economic option: Centric 1-piece rotors: http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/se...294966998+9179
(free shipping over $50)

May 3rd is the next exotic/sport car meet. The details are posted above. he first turn on in MN was great! I wish more of you turned out, I only had 1 fellow RX8 owner but it was still a fantastic time cruising around including going to a Motorplex in Chanhassen.

Regarding the Midway meet, I have been to Midway the Last 2 Fridays. We were rolling in a convoy with a G35 Coupe, 2 Blue STi's, Gray 350Z and Shinka Copper Red RX8 (mine), Silver RX8 (my best friend's) and another buddy of mine's Black RX8.

So you may have seen all 3 together...
