I am in for sure. Took it out today for the first time and everything is working Sounds bad *** and the clutch is working great. Just have to break it in before really letting it run. So is anyone meeting up around Indy and driving up to lafayette?

Maybe slightly. You guys choose to cruise on highways for a reason. A real cruise would be some nice scenic or windy back roads

Edit: And it quiet honestly is the type of person, for the most part, that drives these types of cars. I come from a car enthusiast family, and when we're driving our kappa's or old British iron, its the windy roads for sure. However, the type of person that typically owns a F-Body likes the wide open spans that beg to say "floor me...you wont get caught."
I don't like the racing for a few reasons:
It causes unnecessary attention from authorities.
It can be potentially very dangerous, as it only takes one idiot to take out a convoy of nice cars or an innocent bystander.
It places a bad image on the hobby because every other person using the road gets pissed while we slow down, then speed up, then slow down - blocking all lanes of traffic in the mean time.
I also like the country roads because the groups is less likely to be broken up. A large reason for the cruise route I had planned was because I knew there was going to be 30+ cars. No way was a group like that going to stay together in a town or city. One thing I did learn - never post the route online. Every cop Tipp. Co. had to offer was on that cruise route.
Lets take a quick vote on this... Would you rather prefer a more highway based route? Or a scenic, two lane road, curving route?

I totally agree. The route I made up a few cruises ago had a lot of 2 lane roads to prevent it from happening. Wasn't as popular of a cruise. If I were making it up this time, we'd head up to SR 25 and swing a right onto CR100 back there by Wildcat Creek.
