Hey hey, Minnesota! I'm a native Minnesotan, lost in California for the foreseeable future. I've got a beautiful 2014 FRS out here in San Diego.

I'm taking a vacation to visit family back home around the end of June and beginning of July. I'd love to check out some twins and see what kind of setups you all have! I'll mostly be on the Iron Range, but I'm open to a bit of driving while I'm there as well.

Are there any meets going on around that time? Do you have a facebook group?

Hello! We have or event going on June 20-22nd in Brainerd. Otherwise most of us are local to the twin cities. I am sure some of us would be willing to get together for lunch sometime. There is also a weekly meet at Sonic in Bloomington as well.

I would be interested for a Midwest twins meet late July or early August.

Got my car back from Luther's auto body and glass and was not very pleased with their remove and install.

I had a lot of missing plastic clips (which they denied were there until I whipped out my phone and zoomed in the clips of pics of my engine bay before I dropped off my car), the bumper was installed lob-sided. The hood made a clonking noise over bumps, there was a big gap between the headlight and bumper, my engine bay had water spots, rust spots and dust all over. I also counted three bird shit inside the engine bay. I was furious and let them have it.

They gave me new clips, offered to hose down the engine bay and offered to re-install the bumper but I declined. I took my baby home, tore it all apart and fixed all the issues myself. Don't ever take your car to Luther's auto body and glass for repairs. That's my rant for the day lol!

Sorry to hear about your experience. Had a PDR done at LeMettry's just under the door handle for a buck and quarter. Sounds spendy, but it was worth it. They included a very tiny spot maybe an inch above that was caused by my workbench. Never thought it was doing any damage. Anyway, I'm happy with the outcome and thinking cash well spent.

Well this is just bad timing! You will be here and I will be in San Diego!

Yep, across the street from Fleet Farm. No way! That is not your mom!

frsgal · 06-13-2014, 03:34 PM

@Starscream15 dangit! haha. There's a ton of awesome twins and twins owners out here

BTW, love the gif, hehe.
@MAPerformance Thanks! I won't be there until June 28th, so I'll have to miss out on the Brainerd meet. Bummer, because that's fairly close to home. I'm not sure what my vehicle situation will be (usually I borrow a car from a family member while I'm home), so we'll see if Bloomington is in the cards or not.
