I'm in Byron, got a couple buddies up in Rockford with some nice f-bodies. There really aren't that many that I see out on the weekends. Seems like the Fox body is still more abundant in the area.

Don't think I've ever seen your car around, but then again who knows. I work up on Windsor & Material Ave. so perhaps I'll see you around.

Damn must be nice to buy a house at 20 and then add a garage. Then again, I suppose I could do it as well but I chose the car instead. Its far more exciting

I chose the house because I wanted my own garage, lol. My dads was getting too crowded and he didnt like me tearing stuff apart in it. I still like my LT1 though.

Older homes in loves park go any where from 60-120,000 depending on the area of town. Im in one of the nicer areas. New homes start around 160-170.

Out inthe country like Dakota, Freeport, Pecatonica, homes there arent too bad. But that all depends on wht you want to spend. There are alot of newer homes going up.

You could find a average home with 3 beds, 2 baths, basement that is 5 to 10 years old for under 200,000. Out by me in Loves park there are new constructions going for $160 to $190 with 15 to 1900 square feet.
