Car show in Grinnell this Saturday. Not real exciting, but if you're out for a cruise it usually has a decent turn out. Unless the weather turns crappy, I'll be there with the golden turd.

Unhappy

Nevermind, looks like I won't be racing. I took my driver front wheel off and found out I need my front end aligned, the inside of my tires are basically slicks Good thing I'm getting new ones soon

I'll still try to make it down, though, and definitely look for you

Annual bonfire in Norwalk this year. (less than 5 min from ws6store shop)

Address is where it's been for the past few year at 6496 Highway 28 and date is Saturday Sept 17 at 5pm. Bring something to grill, drinks, lawn chairs, and of course your ride. If it's town apart or doesnt run, bring another car!

It's always a good time to get together one last time before the cars get stored for winter.

I hope to see everyone there! If you want to RSVP, here is 'Event' link on my FB: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?ei...528553&pending

I'm planning on being there. I'll be installing the Tick master that weekend. So it may be the G8 or Slobalt making the trip.

I'll get the TA cleaned up a bit and plan on showing up. She needs at least one more appearance before I throw her back up for sale

How are you liking the new Caddy, Josh?

Lol, better than my pop's 2003 Silverado 2500 HD LT 6.0. 4.10's FTL
I did 15 mpg in it on the highways (cruise at like 55 whole way up to a camp ground, windows down, ac off)

Now you just need to turbo it or buy a C6Z

Putting the car back up for sale. Let me know if you have any friends that are interested in it and entertain me with their offers. (Also would like comments, suggestions on price, etc. PM'ed to me if you want)

Plan on taking it to Josh's open house and then likely putting it up for the winter. I don't drive it a whole lot to begin with. No time
