    most likely we would meet at firestone and chill for a bit before we took off to the lot.

    i think this is after firestone...most likely we gather up at firestone then head out there. I also have cones we can set up for a little track.

    This parking lot does not have parking lights so it will be very dark. If no one has electric generators to use for this, it will have to happen during the day time. I am thinking of April 2nd or 3rd.

    Why doesn't the Offical Firestone Thread have directions or even the specific corner its on? Please update it ;)

    Corner of University Ave. and Aldine St. in St. Paul.

    HWY 94 to Snelling Ave. North on Snelling Ave. to University Ave. West on University Ave. to Aldine. Look for all the custom Subarus on your right (north).

    I'm wondering also who does the MN Subaru Club have verbal/written consent from to use that parking lot? I've never had a cop stop and say anything but it would be good information to know :)

    Thanks =^.^=

    No, only a few other threads... this is rather beside the point. It's the "Official" firestone thread. Should it not include some directions to find it? :???:

    You mean permission for Firestone? I think they if they had a problem with the cars parking there after they are closed they would have said something by now, no? I haven't been down there yet this year yet and I can't speak for them but worst case they call the cops and the cops ask us to move our cars.

    I was kind of curious what you guys were talking to him about... glad to hear the lot's no problem. Good to see some Audi and VW ppl came out too though I didn't meet any of them.
    Speedemon - good pics for handheld digital. A tripod might help for longer exposures (better depth of field.) Good to see some pics :D[edit] cheers to tcat for the new lift kit... good stuff! :cool:

    I think it is the flash on the camera. It doesnt go far to get all the cars. Its great for pics right next to my car but not at night.

    lotsa fun. so many subies there. a buetiful variety too. from GLs- a brat- GC8s-2.5RSs-WRXs-STis. i think we almost had the whole model line there lol. it was funny when the honda people tried to invade, and could not get into the lot cause thier bumpers wouldnt clear the curb.

    also had a great drive home. i have also discovered that my care is slow when in Drive(both from a stop, and on teh highway) but its better in 3rd. oohh yeah and outbacks are fast.(found that out)
