It's that time of year again for the first Cars & Coffee meet. April 6, 2013 (8200 Audubon Road Chanhassen, MN 55317) Was thinking of meeting up and cruising out as a group if you're interested. 6AM Meeting up at McDonalds in Woodbury (494 and Valley Creek Rd) (1759 Weir Dr Woodbury, MN 55125 ) Then cruising out to C&C at 6:30am so if anyone wants to grab some food befrore, there is time. Invite is open to all! Should be great seeing it's the first one of the year!! I have this open to not only MNSubaru but for all car enthusiasts! Just let me know if you're interested so I know about how many people to expect before we leave.
Thanks for keeping up with this and providing the info. For some reason I thought the first one was in May. I plan to come this summer for sure.
I'm likely going to roll out. If it turns into stanced dubber-fest, I'll bail and get breakfast instead.
I have to try and make this one. But damn does it have to be so early! Also how long does the C&C usually last?
Will talk to the lady. I could prob do this though as I'll be headed to the west this weekend anyway.
might go depends how fun Calvin harris is friday night, watch out for my friends ferrari on new BBS wheels
My babysitter backed out, and If I'm bringing my boy, I'm not walking around in the rain with him. I'll take it as it comes, if its dry when I wake up, I'll go.
Me as well. I'm reading that the precipitation at 6AM when we are to be meeting up, might be snow not rain at that hour. I'm not driving in rain if I can avoid it, and I'm certainly not going to be out in snow. I'm with the last couple posts, if the weather ends up crappy that morning, I may just go back to sleep.
I'm still planning on going, but if I wake up and the sun isn't shining I'm crawling back under my blankets. 50% chance of rain through the morning hours...
Now I think I'm gonna go either way, I just looked at my calender, I probably wont be able to go until june if I miss this one. See you clowns there.
I have a little bit more optimism (but not much) as I've been watching the weather patterns and fronts while drinking my morning coffee. The storm they are talking about looks like it is nearing Mankato right now and it is moving at a decent clip. I don't see anything really behind it. Unless it slows down as it approaches the cities, I don't really see how it can rain for as long as the forecast is predicting. The storm doesn't look that large, and the area behind is appears clear. But also, I'm not a meteorologist. So, grain of salt. But when you live in San Diego, CA for nearly 8 years and you move to this frigid, snow covered hell, you watch the weather ALOT. I can't tell you how temperatures are assumed (and in my time here, I'm willing to bet that it isn't much more than a loose guess.) but I have a fine tuned gut for weather. And I'm currently not seeing how the storm that is inbound can hover on the Twin Cities area for 24 hours.
I suppose. But I guess I just don't enjoy the idea of standing around outside in rain with the temperature hovering below 40 degrees. It might keep the kiddies away, but it makes for some unpleasant car viewing.
I would disagree. I went to almost every cars and coffee the past couple years and the really rare/awesome cars tend to come out with a better forecast IMO. Anytime there's been rain I see 95% common ****boxes.
I want to take pictures of neat cars that I rarely if ever see on the road (ST. CLOUD WOOO) with water beads on them.
It has to be REALLY raining to see that. It looks like a California water blade infomercial whenever it rains.
See, and this is my other concern. I know if I owned some crazy exotic or classic car, the last thing I'd want to do is park it out in the rain on a cold day. And even the common every day ****box cars, the ones that keep them nice aren't going to want to drive them around in wet weather with the roads still salty from winter. Which leaves a bunch of rustbucket v-dubbers with stretched butthole tires. Like I said earlier, I'll probably go, but if it is stance-nation, I'll go get breakfast and head home. And if there is snow or sub-freezing temps with water on the road, I'm staying home.
Yeah, I just looked at the 'map in motion' on weather.com and I agree -- it looks like it'll blow through this evening and that's that. Still torn... have to see what the morning brings.
Yeah, my only concern is, sometimes up here, rainstorms pass by, but they leave behind that light, almost drizzley rain behind it that seems to linger forever. On the Wundermap, they list areas behind the storm as partly cloudy (the little cloud and sun behind it). Also, weather underground's google map overlay system (the wundermap) is outstanding.
