I don't know what was up with that Skyline, didn't even hear or see anything coming from it to have to get jumped 10 minutes after it got there.

Yeah, right as you were leaving everyone else was getting ready to go too.

Anyone know what ever happened? Bunch of us came out of Starbucks and then rent-a-cop was telling us the lot was closed.

A Schaumberg cop rolled in with the rent-a-cops and told everyone to get going, and if we didn't clear out soon, that next week it would be shut down at 10. I thought he said "nice corvette" so I hung around a little longer.

gurnee security/cops where cool. the one night we could have hung out until 6am without any bullshit.



what is worse is last weekend when I was a streets, when I was heading home a hoffman estates cop pulled me over and wrote me a $20 noise complaint for loud exhaust. **** I just installed slp LM2 exhaust to quiet down my original set up and it still didnt help. The cop made sure to let me know he is a FORD fan.... so I screwed from the start!

Well now we got the stupid manager(s) complaining because of the damn ricers showing up and playing their loud music around 9pm when the Cruise Night ends. This week the manager actually walked around the whole parking lot saying "You have to leave 5 minutes and the cops will be here" funny thing was the cops did come(15 minutes later) and drove around the lot and left.

Ouch that sucks especially that they got you now that your exhaust is a bit quieter
