Default New To Chicago

I just finished boot camp and all that now Im ready to get my car up here. Im a few days away from buying a 94 Z. Im originally from Dallas so Im not new to the scene at all even though im only 19. We keep it live down there all week long. And I already know driving an LT1 Ill be waaaaaaaaaaaay at the bottom up here all over again but its all good.

Was wondering where all the car meets, shops, racing, and cruise spots were up here?

Im going to put Pacesetter long tubes, a O/R Y, and a Borla XR-1 muffler on the car as the first mods. Would also know who can help me put these on since being in the Navy I have nowhere to put tools on base. They wont let me keep a 2 ton jack in my room lol.

I was jus' in Berwyn today. If you are interested and have a dog, they're hosting a dog show. You have to sign up at 3322 S. Oak Park (2nd Floor). I'll be there Saturday with my dog.
