Anyone around the Munster/Highland/Merillville/Hammond/Griffith area?

All the car meets I see around here are classic muscle cars or ricers. Lookin for some F-Body/LSX guys or girls.

@Highimpact - If we can get 15+ people, I'd say lets set up a meet somewhere.

@98Cam - I got the only Bright Green Trans Am in Highland lol. Still waiting to get the car plated. Indianapolis is taking their sweet *** time sending me a new title.

@Rossi - I've never been there. I sometimes go to the cruise nights in Whiting. Lots of older cars there. Few GTA Trans Ams and even a full blown KITT replica.

Bummer! My son had his pewter camaro and I had my formula parked by Hiratas trailer. We didnt get there until close to 7:30 and stayed until at least 8:30. Sorry we missed you!!! We will most likely head up next week if I can get mine back together and tuned. Ripped it apart tonight to stab in a cam but two rocker bolts won't come out so now I am determining whether to pull heads or keep trying to get the bolts out.

Does anybody here bother with Simon Sez on Rt 30 & Taft? Friday and Saturday nights, and they even let you do burnouts in the parking lot. Other than that, Highland is ******* dead, I've only seen like 2-3 other F-bodys. But Im down for whatever, hopefully I'll have the trans back in by Friday.
