Don't know if you guys have gone to this meet before but I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. They do it the first Saturday of every month at the Caribou Coffee in Minnetonka from 9am to 11am: (Next meet is on Sept. 6th)

In August there were some sweet rides there. Everything is represented there...Lambos, Ferraris, american muscle new and old, European exotics, tuners, customs, etc... I didn't see it but there was a new GT-R there too. There was easily millions of dollars worth of cars there.
Here's a link to the Aug. meet-and search for the videos from earlier months too here in MN to see some sweet cars.

By the way, It is free. And I suggest that unless you got a ride worth showing, you park in the lot across the main lot so that people don't laugh at your ride when you're parked next to a ford GT or 1000HP supercharged Viper. If you do want to show your car, make sure you get there earlier than 9 because they try to group types of cars together.
im bringing my atv and splat will bring his scooter... friends in low places... screw high rollers.

Go for it Mitch. I'm gonna park my G in the lot and last month my buddy parked his Civic in there too. It's not going to be out of place. There's a lot of high end cars there but there is a fair share of jettas, golf's, etc... that won't be as fast or nice looking as your probe.

Alright man. I know I'm not going to be the most powerful by any means. But hell, I will start to touch up the engine bay, and get it looking nice for this show.

There are some really nice cars that show up there. I just like going and checking them all out.... while wishing I was rich. Not gonna bring my car out there, but I'll try to make a stop by if you guys are all going.

Damn, I'm just just wishing that I would have gotten to see the GT-R. I had heard from the 350z guys that the GT-R was gonna show but he must have gotten there sooner than I did and already left by the time I got there.
That candy/pearl orange supercharged and nitrous equipped Viper was insane and the Murcielago roadster was sweet too.

It's an organized but pretty informal meet. Like I said, they just basically point you to a general area based on the type of car you have and then you park and walk around checking out the other rides. It seems like what usually happens is a bunch of different car clubs just roll in together and then park and walk around.

I'm going 100%. Only thing that will stop me from getting up there is if the car breaks on the way.
