Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA
 

What a blast! Thank you everyone for coming and helping make that one of the best cruises yet! 20 cars and 31 people! I appreciate all the compliments on the route, I was very impressed with all the roads, especially the Iowa portion. I think we had nearly perfect weather too; warm enough for summer tires to stick, but cool enough to keep motorcyles at home. I got home around 11:30 last night after some pretty heavy thunderstorms in southern Oklahoma. About 2250 miles in total, Friday through Sunday!

Yeah, the lunch stop was tasty, dinner was nice and casual, bar time was fun, can't wait to do another.

Couple ass clinching moments in the car but overall the Impreza didn't suck for the 10 hours I spent in it this weekend.

My dinner was anything but casual.

Looks like a fun time! Ill make one of these again some day when life slows down. lol

Spaz that picture needs to be rid from the internets, its nightmare fuel.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA
 

the question everyone wants to know the answer to... Did she call yet?

And no I'm not talking about the Spaz taco. haha

You're welcome...just a little parting gift for my buddies! :lol:

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA
 

To all of those making an effort to bringing a Mitsubishi I applaud you! To the rest :score001:. Tom doesn't count either, he originally was bringing his GTR.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA
 

I can honestly say I'd like to make another cruise like this one, I'll take a shorter drive too!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA
 

I'd just like to thank everyone who has a part in planning these cruises they honestly dont get enough credit

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA
 

Thank you very much, I've gotten nothing but positive feedback regarding this cruise from numerous people and that really means a lot to me! I do these events for the group and it really makes me happy knowing people enjoy them. For the most part, I think everything went about as well as could be expected! I would change one small section of the cruise route to avoid a rough stretch of road, but otherwise I loved the route. A lunch spot with a large open parking lot would have also been nice, but I think the group handled the parking ramp easily enough since we just regrouped a few miles down the road once Chad led an E85 group to refuel. Everyone had good things to say about the food though, and I was very impressed by the service and how well they handled 31 people on separate tabs!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA
 

I had no idea roads like that existed in Iowa.

Pics, pics!!!!


So as most everyone knows, I started the cruise early and left Thursday morning. Flew to Dallas to meet up with Hughes. He had taken delivery of my new ride, an old, (very) high-mileage s2000 that I decided to break in the right way: a 3-day, 1668 mile road-trip/party/cruise!!!!


I rolled up from TX with Tom in his Evo9, Aaron in his GTR, Hughes in his C7 Corvette, and Kevin in his Camaro ZL1. Holy hell this was fun! We stopped in Kansas City along the way to visit Reed (old DSMstyler, now owns a Viper), and picked up Andrew(asshanson) as his Noble wasn't quite ready.

After 1000 miles of driving I had planned to crash Friday night, but instead we went out and got back to my place around 3am, post bars, more bars, and flameburger.

Up at 7, we rolled to meet up with the rest of the Style crew, played around in the parking lot and rolled out with 19 or 20 cars, 30+ people, and.....the top down....in 45°F*weather.

Went a little nuts on the way back from TX and while in WI/IA, filled the trunk with beer each time :)
http://www.scheides.com/albums/Mitsu...1325.sized.jpg



What a freaking blast! BBQ, Dunkin Donuts, soooo much good beer and sooooo many good good people just having fun! I had an absolute riot with you guys and cannot wait for the next one.

Great pics, thank you for posting!!! I can't wait to see what everyone else took.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA -- now with pics!
 

It was hilarious, I was all like "Fukkin' Hughes, leaving without saying goodbye..." when I got out to the car, and then after dropping my stuff off I went to walk back in for breakfast and noticed something on the wiper... Turned out you did! :lol:

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA
 

:lol:

At some point Sunday I remember Jake mentioning a text asking if we came to Dubuque often.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA
 

It's only a 5 hour car ride! hahaha

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA -- now with pics!
 

You know I'd never leave without a farewell!

Also, glad to see Scheides kept his, I see it in the box!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA -- now with pics!
 

Mine is in the Jetta still! Super tempting to go get it right now and pop it at my desk.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA -- now with pics!
 

Warm or cold, The Champagne is a fine beverage!

Looks like a great time.

Lol! This is true. Conversation was pretty brief. ;)

As always it was a blast and its always great to see all you guys. Can't wait til the next one!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA -- now with pics!
 

^Whoa!

Who. Are. You?

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA
 

Did you send her a dick pic? Because you should send her a dick pic.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA -- now with pics!
 

hahaha

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA
 

She did add me on Snapchat. Haha. No comment.

I'll try hopping on here a little more often. Miss all ya guys :)

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA -- now with pics!
 

It was :D

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA -- now with pics!
 

Next cruise I'm bringing my car to whoop some ass (pending no rain).
Frum rolls for whoever wants them :) plus twisties of course

Edit: thanks again to the TX guys who allowed me to ride in their awesome cars. Best smorgasbord of cars I've ever had the experience to ride in, period.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA
 

Muahahah, another successful adventure! :D

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA -- now with pics!
 

I can't wait to see that thing in action! Glad it all worked out to where we were still able to get you in attendance for the cruise, and I enjoyed you co-piloting :D

Us TX guys would love to see a few of you make the trip south for our 5th annual Shreveport trip. We're leaving Dallas on Saturday, August 22nd to spend the night in Shreveport hitting some intense twisties through three national forests and eating BBQ along the way. I've currently got Scheides and Knoxville as maybes; if anyone else is even remotely interested let me know and I'll get you the information to look at!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA -- now with pics!
 

You will have the best car hands down, I'm soooo amazed by that car.

As soon as I can get something worth a damn (READ: NOT A DSM) I'm game.

That sounds awesome and it's my bday weekend.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA -- now with pics!
 

I could seriously be tempted by this.. I'd probably rent something from Dallas if I didn't have a better car by then. Fly down and fly back. hmmm

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA -- now with pics!
 

Do it...both of you! I've sent invites to the event page on Facebook. This is always a very fun trip, I've been putting it on for 5 years now and tweak the route each year to keep improving. It gives you a great taste of what east TX/Piney Woods has to offer, then spits us out at the riverboat casinos in Louisiana.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2015 Cruise - April 25 & 26 - Dubuque, IA -- now with pics!
 

Sounds awesome! We'll see how my vacation/the rest of my racing season looks as we get closer and go from there. I'd love to make another trip down!
