I live in Champaign and would be down to meet up if you guys make it up here.

If you do, send me a PM because I don't really check the boards too often.

Thanks dude. In the chicago area it is a lot easier to go to weekly meets. Most of them aren't f-body specific though.

Grew up in Effingham, most of my friends went to LLC/EIU...I got smart and got out of IL haha! IN = tinted windows, fireworks, no front license plates, and concealed carry permits! I'll be looking for an excuse to take the WS6 home to show off this spring/summer so keep me updated on gatherings.
