Ya, i just recently started going onto Ls1 Tech. I was on LS1.com for about 2yrs. then just this last time it went down, I said screw it. Ls1Tech is a much better forum, but could be a little faster.

But ya All those people I listed have been members for atleast 2yrs. My buddy James his car is in San Diego right now on the army base as he leaves for Iraq next week. Jim the with the red Z28 does not have anymore, he is looking into buying a Corvette. Jonas who had the 1997 Mustang Gt, traded it in 2 weeks ago for the T/A. But anywho. This Friday I will be hitting up four corners, and try to get some of us up there.

I started the club back in 2002, that when the car club exodus was around. IF you are from chicago and the suburbs you problem remember them. A group of 50-60 ricers and imports that though they had the fastest cars around. So I started the club and we would just pick em out one by one. Hell there quickest car was probably if they were lucky a low 14 or high 13

I really like the name "Import Patrol". It leaves little interpretation for what the club is about.

Ya one of the guy's who started the club was a guy by the name of Jason Zarbock. He had a riced out honda civic, I mean straight out of the ff movie. He also has a 96 impala ss with clear tail lights. He tried to get me to join his gay *** club before I started import patrol, then later when exodus started to fade out he asked about joining my club with his impala. Need less to say I laughed my *** off. Can't have a guy in the club that also drives a riced out civic.

Hell if anyone is intersted in joining the club let me know. We get all of our decals done in Villa Park. We will have a couple cruise nights, and in sep. or oct. every year, we all hit up U.S. 41 to see if there has been any improvements. We use to have a requirement that to join you had to bet Jonas's mustang, but that damn thing was soooo slow anyone was able to beat him. So there really is no requirement just need a nice ride
