Default Driving your hotrod and motorcyles in January in Chicagoland!

Just another 45 degree sunny January day (saturday the 6th) in Chicago, so i took advantage of it by taking out my blown Z06 in addition to these two toys all driven today in addition to the vette! The picture of my classic muscle car is the reason a lot of my vette buddies call me MOPAR JIMMY! I don't know about you guys, but if its American, and fast, and bad azz, I LOVE all make and models of classic American Muscle Cars!!

HERE YOU GO http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/...396&uid=664215



If anybody wants an awesome 2001 Suzuki enduro/dual sport, only 2700 original miles and all stock (imagine that ) she is for sale for $2,995.00 firm) and depicted in the pictures on the above web address!

Man, this weather is incredible and by far the most mild winter we have had so far and I know I am taking full advantage of it!!

I sold my civic to my brother, so my Camaro is my only transportation. My neighbors love when I start up my car up every morning, ten minutes before I leave for work at 6:30 A.M.

Nice pictures, I took my Camaro out earlier this week because of the warmer weather and lack of snow we've been having.

I'm with you, I don't care who made it as long as it's made by American's I'll love it.

My Suzuki 650 Dual Sport/Enduro is sold and gone as of today, 1-1-07. Now i can bring home the 2004 mint Honda XR 650 L dual sport/enduro that I will be replacing it with and can even drive in the winter if this weather holds up

i had my car out a few times between xmas and new years. with the cold air I was seeing a good bit of boost i had to stay out of third gear tho i tried and failed to get enough fuel in the car to stay safe under heavy load with how cold the air was. damn glad i have a wideband in the car tho so at least I could see what was going on.
