Oh yeah....bring on the ******!


I had 'em change the nameplate on the wall of my office/cube to "Jack Bauer", because I work 24 hours a day now.

I'm supposed to have a staff of 2-3 people plus myself.... about 8 weeks ago one of them went on medical leave and a few weeks into that another quit, so I was down to one person plus myself, and some days just me alone for about the last month. So yeah I did plenty of 6am to 8-9pm shifts during the end of last quarter....then don't forget the 70+ miles of driving every day. I found that heavy drinking is a great way to releive the stress Nothin like a bottle of Captain Morgan to relax the pain away.....


I was finally given a replacement for the guy who quit, and medical leave is over for the other so I'm back to full staff. Now I'm ready to join AA.

Where do you guys race?? I go up to 4 corners once in while but mostly ricers I find. I refuse to bring my car to the city because of all the shitty/uninsured drivers and city driving takes a toll on an m6.

Nice color. Very rare. That's the color of my bonneville.

I'm in the Pratt/Cicero area.

We should try to get a decent north 'burbs gathering together soon....maybe at Photos. That place really died off last year, it'd be cool to build it back up again this season....I plan to start heading out there again as soon as the weather gets warmer.

Maybe one Saturday night we could get a big group of F-bodies at Photos again, like how it used to be 5-6 years ago.

those of you who are near the lincolnwood/chicago border, there used to be tons of street races on peterson by Good Council HS. This is going back like 15 years though. There was a stoplight, long stretch (at least a 1/4 mile, plus braking room) and no intersecting streets. A number of cars deep in the 11's used to run there back in 1990 or so, I wasn't old enough to drive yet but used to tag along and watch. 11's back then on the street was considered crazy fast! Now, it's typical.

I remember action at Forrest Glenn & Cicero area in the mid-'90s. Also remember some stuff around Peterson & Pulaski too. I don't think anyone races there anymore.
