Hey guys, just wondering if there's anybody on here that goes to EIU. My friends and I have taken notice of the amount of Fbodies on campus and we're trying to put together a drive to Tuscola or Champaign. Looking forward to hopefully hearing from a few of you.

-Mike

Posted on the wall! Think what you guys are doing is awesome. Also I know there is a red z/28 6 speed, a black t/a 6 speed, and a blue ss 6 speed, that should also join. Few cars I saw from last year I have not seen since, there was a silver or beige tinted z/28 that is gone i think.

thanks man! the red z28 is in the group. his name is andy.. ive seen the black T/A and the blue SS () around but i just haven't been able to get a flier on either one of them. if you know anybody else, invite them! the only thing im worried about with this group is people possibly getting the wrong idea of what we want to do. i'm worried people think we need to speed everywhere, whereas the others that started this with me would rather just cruise to new places and have a good time while still obeying the law. we'll make it happen!

Turned out very well, beautiful day for the cruise. I think what i might do with the slips is also put them on GTO's and anything LS to go on the cruise, but we will see.

I live here but havent had the car out in about 2 years. The motor is apart at this exact moment getting more upgrades. I raced the red camaro with black wheels some time ago. I have a pretty good sized garage with a heater if you guys need a place to get together

i don't think we'll really be doing much until after spring break, but if you don't have your car by then you're always welcome! just join the group if you haven't yet because that's where we do most of our talking and messaging before drives.
