Good luck with the car shopping! Hope you find a good third gen!

I have family in Hendricks, MN. Not sure about this, but I think my nephew still works in a convenience store in Ivanhoe. He's in high school right now.

Oh really, Do you know which convenience store? Vieres or Dino's. I more than likely know him. I'm sure he knows me. Just mention my car and he'll know.

For the most part there isn't anyone serious around here... Maybe in the future there will be, but it seems that most people around here want nothing to do with a thirdgen and the local winter weather. Can't say as though I blame them, the crap they put on the roads to melt the salt can destroy a thirdgen in one season.

There just seems to be alot of third gens around the Marshall/Pipestone area. Most of them are pretty nice. I'm just surprised none of them have found this site. Maybe I should get a thirdgen.org sticker.

I spent the weekend in Mankato about a month in a half ago. Cruised around a quite a bit. Not too many people out cruising on the weekend is there? It seemed pretty dead.

I have a friend from Canby and a friend from Hendricks. They are now married and living in Fargo. You may know who I'm talking about. Been down there to visit them a couple times for a party in the summer.

Fbodlover- I live in Roberts, about 10 miles east of you.

I'm from New Brighton MN, I think most people in this region have their cars put away for the winter. Don't see too many rolling around!
