Hey guys. I searched around for a FAQ or sticky for the rules on introduction posts outside of the major intro thread. (If I missed it, I apologize and feel free to delete or move this thread.)

Either way, I'm down here in McMinnville, and after reading the "Our section sucks ***" thread, I figured I would make myself known and lurk around for awhile before requesting being put on the NW Members list. I am almost always down to cruise, or anything on the weekends, and I've been looking for some real car guys for awhile now. I've got a 99 Z, auto car just about stock, minus the things that were done before I had it (K&N CAI, and hacked off the factory muffler and tips.) I've got big plans for this car, but the funding is the major issue as I'm still in school. Either way, I'm new to this forum, and look forward to meeting up sometime if this weather ever clears up...

I'll keep an eye out. Is the summer a little more active for everyone? Weather obviously puts a damper on a lot of things here most of the year..

Welcome man. Wednesday night cruise-in's every Wednesday at the Troutdale Dairy Queen. Kind of a drive for you, but it would be a good chance to meet some of us locals. Weather is looking great this week. Also, check out the cascade cars and coffee every Saturday.

Yeah, with school and all, Wednesday's aren't really going to work until the summer time, but I'll try to make it out to a cars and coffee one of these Saturday's, maybe this one even. Do many of the LSX guys make it out the the cars and coffee?

The forecast is calling for nice weather this whole week, I guess I'll plan on just coming up either way.

I believe it starts around 5 or so and goes till dusk. Usually has a good crowd by 6 or 7. Oh and its the one between 170th and 185th not the one by Beaverton High School. The one in Tigard is at the same time.
