This time last week it was 80+ degrees, sunny, and I had my old iron slug out for some toilet bowl tuning. Now it's 60° and raining.....haha, that's still pretty good for March in Chicago though.

I won't be able to make Fridays. I usually work every Friday, I just happen to have this one off. I'm available Sat, Sun, Mons. I'm sure you're all upset about this.

Maybe I'll be able to meet up sometime.

My '98 has gone 14 years without being driven in rain, but that car isn't even out of hibernation yet.

So lame. This was a total fail haha

At least it looks like we have good interest! I'd really love for a bunch of f-bodies to cruise through somewhere and show the rice burners the saying "there's no replacement for displacement"
