Default Meet (round 2)

We're going to try the meet again, since it ended up that a lot of people couldn't make it for whatever reason.

Sunday, July 23rd, 4pm, same location

It'll still be in the Mann Theater parking lot right off Hwy 100 & Excelsior Blvd. We'll use the south lot which is right off excelsior, straight out from Chipotle. You can see the map in the previous post.

Bad timing, I'll be at Mid-Ohio.

Maybe next time

Anyone else around and gonna show up. It's going to be a pretty good get together of local Lexus's. Hope to see some other non-IS's there.

Default Last Lexus meet of the summer

We're having another meet on September 30th at 4pm.

Not for sure on the location yet, but probably the same as the previous meet. Just wanted to get the date out there so people can plan accordingly. Hope to see you there, this will probably be the last time any of us can get together this year.

Default Hi!

Hi guys!
I'm RK and I recently acquired a manual 1993 SC300. I'm no stranger to the racing scene - I've been a dsm guy all my life and I guess I stil am. 11 sec and 12 sec AWD and FWD cars.
This is my first foray into RWD as well as Lexus.
I live in Blaine.
Since there doesn't seem to be much action on the MN end of Lexus on this forum, please PM me if you wanna meet up.
Thanks!

Same as me....I just parted my AWD DSM. I am temporarily working in Minneapolis for about two months. I would definitely like to meet up with some fellow Lexus owners while I am there and also find the local performance shops and stereo shops. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

I am staying in Eden Prairie by the mall. I don't know the area yet so my areas to meet up are limited.

welcome guys. Good to see some action on these forums. There's not really much Minnesota representation. I don't get over here too often for that reason. I'm on the IS300 forums and Minnesota Sport Compacts quite often though. You guys just missed our get together last saturday, probably won't happen again until spring.

BoostAddct: I work in Eden Prairie and eat lunch at the mall quite often. Maybe I'll see you around or we could meet up some time or something. There are many small performance and audio shops around the cities, depends on what you are looking for and where you are looking at.

Hey, is there a Lexus dealer that gives discounts to club members in Minnesota/Wisconsin? Which club, which dealer?
Something like what Brookdale Mitsubishi does for the DsmStyle members?

How about Toyota dealers then? I can cross reference some parts.

How would the Sc300 handle in Minnesota winter as a Daily Driver?
What would I need to do to be able to drive it safely?
I've rarely driven RWD and never in snow - hence the reason for asking. In snow, I've always driven FWD and AWD.
