Is anybody in here from around Elgin Il. If so, tell me where you are located and what you drive. Just curious if anybody on here is around me. And say what you drive and where you like to cruise.

I live on the south side of Villa. I'm probably on the opposite side of Villa from you. I live on Dickie Ave. (a.k.a. Dickie Dragway). If you ever drive down my street you'll know why I call it that. You can't miss my house. It's the house with all the burn out marks in front of it.

I'm in Carpentersville. I drive a Black Z28 with GS rims. I've seen a Silver Z that sounds pretty healthy multiple times. I think he lives up near Dundee Crown High School. I also have a 66 GTO that is currently occupying my lift.

Also your car you speak of does it have a borla exhaust on it?? and you can see skyline & the gas station from your front door? if so you live right down the street from my buddy and i always see your ride sitting outside looks sweet.
