I live in Kenosha so I'm really close and would be more than willing to drive down to meet up.

There is a blue Malibu with a blower on top of a LS1 that I raced and beat last weekend from the Gurnee area. They usually trailer it though.

The one that is just a little west of where you work on Grand. There is a Taco Bell next door to it.

I am 5 min north of Gurnee and I am usually prowling McDs every Friday. If you see an LS1 hooking a rope to your front bumper, it's me.

So you think no one will actually meet up to cruise or go to McD's for the Friday car show? Just a lot of people talking like they will
