Re: DSMStyle cruise, Saturday Sept. 16th!!!
 

Great event! I had a lot of fun and the weather really couldn't have been better. I had my top down from the very start, and only put it up on the way home since I felt myself getting burned (yup, I did). It was good to see and meet some new faces; thanks very much to everyone who attended. Besides one major mishap (not really my place to mention, I'll let the rightful person do that), the cruise went smoothly and I think everyone had a great time. The twisties were a great time as were a few of the straights ;) I think we should organize something similar again next spring in order to kick off the season.

Next time we pick a weekend where there are no fucking bikers everywhere... Or cops looking for speeders- close calls!

Re: DSMStyle cruise, Saturday Sept. 16th!!!
 

Yeah there were a ton of bikes out as mentioned earlier in this thread! For the most part it was not a problem except when they were holding us up in some of the corners. There sure were a ton of cops though, I'm glad none of us had any run-ins with them. It was funny though, they didn't touch us but kept going for the minivans and SUV's!

Not sure if anyone else kept track, but I averaged 28.9 MPG which I don't think is bad at all considering the amount of "spirited" driving I did!

I had a great time, the car made it in one piece with nothing wrong in the end. Good to put some faces to names. How was the drive back up? anything interesting happen?

Re: DSMStyle cruise, Saturday Sept. 16th!!!
 

It went fine and very uneventful :)

Re: DSMStyle cruise, Saturday Sept. 16th!!!
 

We all kind of went our seperate ways, nothing exciting happened at all. Thanks to YingYang for letting me drive his car back, that was fun. :)

Holy hell, just woke up from a nap. Yea it was lots of fun. Glad to finally meet some of you guys in person! Gas mileage was pretty damn good for the dsm. I did some quick math in my head, was something like 23-24.

Shitty I missed it, I spent the night in a basement do to some tornadoes wanting to own Omaha!! I wanna hear some stories

Re: DSMStyle cruise, Saturday Sept. 16th!!!
 

heh i feel like i was a part of it in some way... oh wait, i was.. :(

Re: DSMStyle cruise, Saturday Sept. 16th!!!
 

I would have liked to make it but we were busy as hell today at the shop.

Re: DSMStyle cruise, Saturday Sept. 16th!!!
 

Great event! It was nice to meet everyone and it was a great route to cruise except for the damn bikers and cops. No rain until we got back to St Cloud.

I got about 26MPG. I was running too lean on hard acceleration so I'll have to work on that. 16+PSI no boost controller yet or fuel system mods. I was for sure the slower one of the pack.

Did anyone get pics of all the cars before we split up?

Next spring we should definetely do another cruise. Maybe plan some group car picture shots or something.

Fun! :D

Re: DSMStyle cruise, Saturday Sept. 16th!!!
 

Well, rf was rained out, and with the scattered showers..meh. I didn't feel like driving the car at all much today, so we went on an evo cruise! 6 evos, down to stillwater, and back up..twisty roads, beautiful scenery (changing trees) etc. I recommend that stillwater be placed on the next tour, and we stop to take some quality pics there, by the lakefront. I may be down to cruise, before winter comes up. I don't think sept. 30th should be the last event.

So, what happened? Where are all the pics? :)

Re: DSMStyle cruise, Saturday Sept. 16th!!!
 

I know Allan was snapping a bunch of photos, hopefully he'll post them up :)

Re: DSMStyle cruise, Saturday Sept. 16th!!!
 

I'll get pics up tonight.

Re: DSMStyle cruise, Saturday Sept. 16th!!!
 

Any chance of another one of these when the leaves start turning?

Re: DSMStyle cruise, Saturday Sept. 16th!!!
 

I'd be up for another cruise, but proably won't have time until October 14th. The leaves up north are already starting to change so I'd imagine by then the leaves will be well past their peak down south. Eitherway, I'm always ready for a good drive. Lets see what other members say and if their is interest we could organize a route. Stillwater/Taylor's Falls area would be great too (as Swifty mentioned).

Re: DSMStyle cruise, Saturday Sept. 16th!!!
 

Yes, i'd love to be a part of one, now that I have fresh ball joints :)
