wow, this thread just keeps on going and going, its like the energizer bunny, just when you think its over, it comes back again and again. but yeah, a meet at someplace where the majority could get to would be awesome, we would need a rather large parking lot thats for sure.

You guys should come to the Downers Grove cruise night on Friday night- MTI 427, MadIceV8, and I go up there almost every friday. Everybody could just show up and we could monopolize a big part of main street. It's a very cool show.

In Downers, every friday night is cruise night- the town shuts down Main St. to every car but customs, muscle cars, other performance cars and antiques. I'll be down there at 5 or 6 pm. Its free, so just show up. I have seen MadIceV8 and MTI427 go up there from time to time too. I'll probably be parked next to my friends red Yenko Nova.

We should meet up before we roll through so the train can have the full effect. Name a place around the area and we'll do it up. Do you think we can get enough guys by Friday? Let's give it a shot.

Hell yeah, I'll round up the crew for Friday night. So the parking lot of DG North Highschool sounds good. Do you have an address for it? I searched the Yellow pages and only found DG South HS. Let's lock this in and round up some cars.

My buddy (70 Yenko Deuce), his dad (01 SS), and my friend's friend (69 chevelle) are also going to be there, it's going to be nice out so it's going to be busy.
