COME ON MINNESOTA

[codybirchem]

So I look through and everybody's got meets, BBQ's, fun stuff.. as I see, MN is LAME. So we've got a little thing down in St. Paul.. I vote one Saturday night, we take over a full parking lot with Pontiacs.. call that a "meet" of our own. University would love the Pontiac's touch.. we'd be a great add! Someone respond and put on the map around here!

[markpetersonii]

lol I went home last August and set up a G6 meet and there were only 3 of us. I know of 2 people up there that are into meeting up. I'll be up there with my (secret) ride around the end of August. I'm coming up for Family and THE FAIR!!!

We can start planning for then though

[codybirchem]

Yeah, if we could stick just a pontiac meet that'd be sweet, because obviously I'm not driving a 6 haha. When I had my monte carlo people were in for meeting all over the place, even around here! There were meets up the wall for Monte Carlo's. I'd like to do something with the van though, it might be a minivan, but there's plenty there for show! I think most any person who can respect a vehicle for hard work put into it, could respect the van

I have printed off and cut up some cards though, so hopefully soon I'll start seeing some Pontiacs around here to spread the word to!

[markpetersonii]

Well, when I come out there, I'll be sure to set another one up then.

[codybirchem]

Awesome hopefully by then I've got new tips, and maybe a new amp so my stereo can push both of my 15's instead of just one! I want to post up some interior pics, but I'm too lazy to go out and take them. Besides, it's raining right now and they'd all be shots of interior in the garage lol

I realize this thread is ancient, but I'm only 4 hours-ish away from Minneapolis/St. Paul, so if we planned something for next year, I'd totally be in!

There's also a huge Fiero thing in Frazee on the last weekend of July. Even though the event is Fiero specific, anyone is more than welcome! They would totally appreciate your van

[markpetersonii]

Yeah, Minnesota and Fieros is HUGE! I'm not sure if I'll be there next year or not but I'm going to try. If I do, it might have to be the weekend of that Fiero meet.

Also, if you're looking for some guys to hang out with, there are some really cool guys in the MN GM club. Check them out: www.mngmp.com

Sweet, thanks! And it would be great if you made it to the Fiero meet. I couldn't make it last year but I will for sure be there this year!

[markpetersonii]

Yeah, I'll try. I've been to one of them but it was way back. It was cool, TONS of Fieros there!

[markpetersonii]

Hey all, I'll be in MN (metro area) for about 7 days, I'll be open most of the days except the 29th. I get there the 24th and leaving the 31st.

If anyone wants some cool winter car shots let me know. I would love to play around in the snow. Plus, I'll be driving my Mom's Grand Prix lol

Anyone?

LEt me get my work schedule we'll come up with something!! ANd next spring as soon as ricekiller meets start up again, would be a perfect time for you to head this way valid!!

Sweet! PM your schedule and I'll see what I can do

[valid]

Hmmm, I have the 30th off, and so does Mark! It takes 3 hours and 45 minutes to get to Minneapolis/St. Paul from here, according to Google Maps. I know Mark and I did it in about that time in a Chrysler minivan, so if we're driving my mystery winter car I'm sure we could make better time.

[markpetersonii]

30th, as in THIS 30th? You're going to be there too? lol

Woot, FP meet in MN!

[valid]

YESSSS. I don't know the area at all though so pick a prominent place for Mark (I really am talking about my roommate, not you Mark lol) and I to find you! Assuming there isn't a blizzard we will definitely be there. I'm excited!

[markpetersonii]

Soooo... the 30th works for me, as of now. Cody, id that cool with you? btw, my PMs are empty now.

[valid]

We still on for Thursday?

[markpetersonii]

What time? I'm free Thursday afternoon.

[valid]

We wouldn't be able to leave until about 11 and it takes about 4 hours. 3 would be the earliest we could get there. I was hoping to have the Fiero but due to a ball joint going bad I now have my dad's Aztek... which is great (AWD!), mind you, but I was excited for the little yellow car!

[markpetersonii]

lol well, 3 would actually be fine! I'm sure I can take some shots of the ugliest Pontiac ever! LOL

[valid]

Lol!! Hey, she's a very comfortable and functional automobile.

For tomorrow it's kind of up in the air. We're supposed to get freezing rain right around the time we'd be leaving. I'll post on here in the morning and let you know how it looks. My number is on facebook if you need to get ahold of me!

[markpetersonii]

Sounds good, we are going to get the same crappy weather too...

[codybirchem]

Well guys, I would be all over meeting with you tomorrow too, only problem is that I work 230-815. Allthough, Valid, if you decide to stay in town a while and anyone wants to meet up when I'm off work, we can go grab some dinner and try to find a place lit well enough to get some mean night shots, I got a few parking lots in mind if it isn't snowing too hard.. haha

[markpetersonii]

That sounds good to me...

Valid, would you be coming by yourself now? :-/

[codybirchem]

Sweet, if it comes down to it I'll have Des drive her GP with the duck taped pass. side mirror haha let me know tomorrow what's going on. Mark, you've got my number, just text me. I can be ready for a meal at about 830
