MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Dates: April 30/May 1, 2015
Meeting time: 8AM
Meeting location: Cub Foods-Woodbury
Destination: Davenport, Iowa
Distance: ~360 miles (one-way)
Cost: FREE
Registration: Register in this thread
Hotel: Best Western Plus Steeplegate Inn

The hotel features our group standards: Indoor pool w/poolview rooms, restaurant, bar, free breakfast, free parking, etc.

We will be passing out the map packets as usual at the meeting spot the morning of the cruise; we will also be providing electronic maps (PDF and link to Google Maps) to those who would like them.

We're already looking forward to this one and expect it to be a great time as always! This is an all-ages event so everyone is welcome. Remember, the fee is per car and not per person. A large group of us will be caravaning up from Texas! Lunch will be the same place we stopped at last year since the food is good and they handle large groups well.

You MUST arrive by 8AM SHARP with a FULL tank of gas. We have a longer route this year and will need to get a prompt start.

Yes, I know it's crazy advanced notice, but I figured the sooner the better so we can all get the prime rooms, make travel arrangements, request time off work, etc.

Say what? Catering towards people with adult lives? :D

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Time to buy a vette so I can be apart of the cool kids club.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

there ya go....

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Like it.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

I think I won't be able to keep up in the Mighty Max :/

I'll see if Anna wants to take her Spyder

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

I probably had the slowest car on this cruise last year and kept up fine with the maps and stops everyone made. It was a fun drive. Should go through Lanesburo and then into Decorah for lunch at Mabes though. ;) lol

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

You can put Jungy and I down for this

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Done!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Oh shii, haven't seen Jungy in a while. This cruise will be sweet!

Might as well put me on the list as well :whoo:

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

DONE!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Cam and Jungy will probably be in separate cars I would think.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Yeah until I break my car, like tradition

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Updated.

Nm

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

I'll plan on it... assuming I have the Datsun back together by then and there's no freak late season snow storm.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

I'm in for sure!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

One of four situations will happen for me. Either my car works and I drive up solo or with Emily, or my car is broken and I hitch a ride up solo or with Emily. In all cases, I am going, and 50% chance my wife is going, and 50% chance my car is going. I'll know more in a month or two on the car front. May be a last minute decision on the wife front.

Looking forward to another cruise.
P.S. We should stop at Toppling Goliath if we have time (if you want to stop at one of the top rated breweries in the country)

Added!
Added!
Sounds great! You're welcome to join our caravan up like last year...hopefully with the Noble this time though!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

as of right now i am game for this. i have an idea to make the drive even more exciting and to help keep everybody in the cars alive.

they have a walkie talkie app called zello, me and my tow truck buddy's from all over use it to stay in contact and its a great time. also would help incase somebody needs to pull off for a bathroom, gas, or is having a car failure.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Haha my 420a was down there for speed too. Never set the cruise like that before. She held up though!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

I'll get you added to the list! Glad to see a new face too, I've been putting these cruises on for nearly a decade and they are a blast!

Some of us do actually use walkies, Tom (supraboy1) has 6 or so high-powered ones and they worked very well. We tried that app once on a cruise down near Austin, TX a few years ago and it was really tough to hear, but maybe they've made some voice quality improvements since then, thanks for the suggestion.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

So are you in again or what?! How about you AJ?

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

I'm going to plan on going + cheeze (nacho).

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Awesome, I'll get you both added!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

I'm probably in again, need to book a room just to have on hand this weekend. Car wise no clue what I'll drive down yet.

If you were to change up the food, could always do a route down through lanesburo and into Decorah and then hit Mabes up. They have no problems with groups and would give people a chance to stop at TG as well.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Okay, last year I had a concert booked on the spring cruise dates and a couple leaking injectors on the FD. So, this time it's planned so far in advance I can make it happen! I have spent the last 3 months rebuilding the fuel system on the FD from a new Supra fuel pump, FFE rails and injector dynamics injectors along with new braided nylon lines. So it will be ready! The Evo has been great, needless to say. Now, do I go solo, with the wife or a friend, take the FD or the Evo. choices.Thanks for planning so far in advance.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Awesome another fd owner. Sounds like you did the fuel system right.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Sounds interesting, will see if I still have the benz by then or something else to drive.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

FD *sigh*

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Of course, glad it worked out in a way that allows you to join!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

If anyone is traveling from a distance and needs a hotel room for Friday night as well let me know and I'll post the info for where those of us caravaning up are staying!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Hey! good to hear another FD owner is on here! I did it right, but it took awhile as I was a cheapskate and ordered all my fittings and lines from China. Then actually planning the fuel system, installing ti all, getting the leaks right took some time. I have a Good friend named Chris Schutt in Hastings that helped me the whole way through. It's running now and I am just working out the tune with Adaptronic support. Got it running well but the idle is crap.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Bump for the new year, only 4 months away at this point! Get your rooms booked and stop slacking on your winter repairs/builds! Room prices have dropped since I booked so now is the time to do it.

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Damn cruise time is taking forever!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Room reserved!

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Woo!

Talked a friend into buying pkron05's 03 Evo, might be co-driving with him if he goes

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
 

Very nice! The list grows! Turk (TheDogfather, formerly T6) has a buddy with an Audi who might join as well. If anyone is wondering where TheDogfather name came from...

That's him getting the keys to his 2016 Camaro SS from Danica Patrick.

He also added this badge already:

Re: MitsuStyle Spring 2016 Cruise - April 30/May 1 - Davenport, IA
