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

[Kracka]

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.

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

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

How to say goodbye Texas style!

[Kracka]

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

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

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

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!

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.









































































Thanks Hughes :P


Stopped at Topoling Goliath Brewery on the way home with a few stragglers




Picked up the doggies on the way back, lol they love rolling with the top down more than me!



Home sweet home



Went a little nuts on the way back from TX and while in WI/IA, filled the trunk with beer each time




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.

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!

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

You know I'd never leave without a farewell!

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

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

Warm or cold, The Champagne is a fine beverage!
