Wake up Minnesota Thread!

[Tommyboy]

Ok guys, the past few weeks when i have been coming on and looking at our chapter I yawn! I know i am not alone! This must change! So i would like to devote this thread called Wake up Minnesota to talk about anything! Heck, anything is better than nothing; so this thread can be anything from Tigger punching the daylights out of that lil kid at Disneyland to Heidi being her drunk self on wanting to say wwwwhhhhaaatttsss upppp! HAHA, Jk you know i love you Heidi! So help me wake up our chapter here! Oh and Neil, did you ever sell your car yet?

[wanderingmind]

Neil sold his car.


Well, I just started a class at Augsburg. It is nice to be back in school. I am taking a 100 level bio class called Human Biology. It will be the easiest class I have ever taken (I am a biology/chemistry major and have already taken general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochem, cell bio, animal phys...)

That's really the only new thing in life. I have been working full-time at Minnesota Gastroenterology. I just got 6 months sober last month :gobanana:

[Tommyboy]

Thats awesome and congrats on the past 6 months! Good luck and i hope for many more to come! Maybe you can help me out sometime, since i am taking a basic Biology class at Inverhills Community College, i am hoping that its not going to be too hard, but now i know how to PM if i ever have any questions! How is your winter beater, i mean you Mazda 626?

[Tommyboy]

SNOW MAKES ME HAPPY!:wiggle: Time for fun with the E-brake!

[wanderingmind]

My superior driving skills coupled with my Mazda will chomp a Cougar up in the snow. Zoom Zoom!

:rofl:

[Taras]

Hey everyone. Well nothing really new her. I just got an email from trubendz that they sent my exhaust!!! Can someone help me install it? I love snow! it was awesome driving with ebrake, but me rims ge filled with snow very quickly and my brakes get spungy very quickly. Got to go eat...

[wanderingmind]

Good luck trying to install it yourself. Rusted bolts are a bish. They had to cut my bolts off with a welding torch.

Nice to see that you've got the modding bug. Next thing for you is some MSDS headers.

[Catwoman3700]

Wow how did you know I was drinking??? No really, I've either been partying or working at the club, so I haven't actually seen daylight in a couple of weeks since I sleep during the day. Classes start tomorrow though so I'll have to get back into the swing of things. Also I think it's best for me not to drink for a while. It's been far, FAR too much these last couple of weeks. Gah. Also I'm depressed because I can't ride my bike. I hate winter.

I had my custom exhaust done at the shop last year, so it was taken off before and should not be too rusted out. I will probely get it installed at the shop somewhere. Headers are way to expensive.

What are your next plans?

[Taras]

What are your next plans?

I dont know, yet. If you remember i told you that i want to get a new car later this spring/summer, but it seems like that is not going to happen. So i will probebly just keep modding the car. I want to get a differnt grill and some a lip kit, like Roush(sp?) or whatever other ones there are. I wont a one that you dont have to take down the old bumpers. May be a hood and after that we'll see.

[wanderingmind]

Done with the performance stuff?

[Taras]

I dont know, i want to make it look different. Maybe get some rims or something.

[wanderingmind]

What is everyone doing this weekend?

[Taras]

i dont know yet. maybe snowboarding?

[wanderingmind]

Taras you post a LOT! You are addicted, bad.

[Taras]

Taras you post a LOT! You are addicted, bad.

dude, i know. and everyone hates me/ :(

[Taras]

oh, ****, i just looked how many posts i have! 882. and i joined just like few month ago.

[Tommyboy]

This weekend = work and school! :( I know we always talk about a meet up, yet we have yet to do one! :(

[Catwoman3700]

This weekend = work Fri-Sat-Sun nights at Spin, sleep alot, get some school work done, and FINALLY winterize my bike (just puttin Stabil in and takin out the battery but I'm sooo lazy)

[Taras]

Winter is almost over and you are winterizing your bike?

[wanderingmind]

:rofl: No it's not. :tongue:

[Catwoman3700]

I've been able to ride it alot until recently. Damn cold. And WTF someone changed my avatar? This isn't a 'family' site when you look at some of the threads. Whatever!!! I'm pi$$ed.

[xavioz]

So, I see you were looking into MSDS headers? If I still had my cougar, that would have been my next mod.

My 626 is uber fast 0-60 in eleven seconds flat! :bowdown: - so I don't need to mod it at all.

[xavioz]

wow. it seems you've solved your need for speed problem.
i was indeed looking into the headers. the only thing holding me back is the price. some weapon R headers went on sale in the For Sale section. he was selling them for 225. what an amazing price. unfortuantely, i missed first dibs by 15 minutes :(. i'd prefer to get them used for cheaper, but i still may consider getting them new (the msds that is). I'm also still waiting on my GMK. you weren't kidding when you told me to prepare for a long wait.

Dude just slap a turbo on it. Or go with on of those electric ones! :rofl: ;)

[xavioz]

with your electric turbo, might as well add a few 'superchips' and maybe a vortex air spinner in your intake tubing. probly at lesat 60HP increase.

[wanderingmind]

There actually such things as electric superchargers that work. The concept is that instead of the supercharger being driven by the engine's work, the supercharger is driven via an electric motor being powered by a separate rechargeable batter. The advantage is that it is MUCH easier to install than a regular blower because there are no belts/pulleys to attach. The only downside is that the battery needs to be recharged.

When I want instant boost in my Mazda, I use my will power and I rock back and forth in my seat really fast. Rocking back and forth adds at least 20 HP.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: i can just see you do this!!!

[Tommyboy]

Hey... you can also cover your car in A$$ tons of stickers! That alone will add 100HP! Common, all the macho guys have um! :)

They changed your avatar? Hahah i will agree with the fact that this is cerentally not a family site! I have seen wayyyy too many threads that are not family appropiate! I sorry Heidi:(

[Catwoman3700]

Well this is off-topic but i just got home from work and tended to the puppy and it's almost 5am!!!
I am fostering mini pinschers and the latest one is little Perry. He's an ex-stud from a puppy farm. Little guy is sooo skinny but very sweet and loving. Yay puppies :)

[MaverickFlyer]

That's wonderful. We aren't the most active chapter :rolleyes: Haven't had a meet in well over a year, close to two years maybe.

[xavioz]

Haven't had a meet in well over a year, close to two years maybe.

[wanderingmind]

[MaverickFlyer]

Just got home last night from my trip to Minnesota. Damm it's cold up there, and Everyone says Canada is cold. :crazy:

I went to a Nice Italian Resturant in Edena, Really nice! :thumbsup:

[xavioz]

[MaverickFlyer]

I think it was called Al Vento.

http://www.alventorestaurant.com/

I highly recommend it! ;)

[xavioz]

[MaverickFlyer]

I liked this option! ;)

Enjoy ½ Price Bottles all night Monday
and every night between 4:30 pm and 5:30 pm!

[wanderingmind]

Nice + Italian does not go in the same sentence as Davanni's.

Don't get me wrong, I do love Davanni's.

[xavioz]

lol, i was fairly kidding. I too enjoy davannis, but they are definately more fast food style.

[MaverickFlyer]

Nope, didn't go to davannis. We have a few places like that here to.

[Catwoman3700]

Hey all....I don't care where we go but I need to be off like a prom dress by like 9:30 or something if it's a weekend. I work at 11pm at the club Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Otherwise my weeks are insane with class, club activities, and crying about not riding my bike.

[wanderingmind]

Would a Saturday earlyish evening work for people?

[xavioz]

I need to be off like a prom dress by like 9:30 or something if it's a weekend.

haha. well, seems like we should toss up some date ideas and see what flys. so, how about the 24th?

[Taras]

make a poll like last time. that was much easier.

[Catwoman3700]

Yes, poll is our friend.

[Tommyboy]

I did the last one, someone else cam chime in and do it!
