Thats what i need them for is track tires!! lol let me know if your wanting to get rid of them!

Default Car show!!

Hey guys... there will be a car show in Cedar Rapids, Iowa June 14th. There's all kinds of classes... (camaros and firebirds 1967-1981) and (camaros and Firebirds 1982-Present) and a bunch of corvette classes. It's presented by The Cedar Rapids Corvette Club.

Registration is $15 before May 28th and $20 the day of. I'll be there and my friends are bringing their charger and a few other vehicles.

check out the website and look at the flyers if you're interested

http://cedarrapidscorvetteclub.com

there's 3 trophies for each class. My car doesnt have much to it, but dammit she looks sexy. So we'll see if I get something

should be a good time

Anyone in for Porky's tonight???

I'll be there for a little while, at some point.

Also, I know a guy that is putting together a weekly Monday night gathering at Hooters...

355-I'll let you know when I take the tires off...I don't plan on doing much out of town driving with the SS this summer, so they might still be on for a while. (I checked my mileage log & I have put 6,000 miles on it in the last 12 months & it won't get that many this year)

I will be in Chariton at a Corvette Show all day Saturday. I'd be up for something Saturday night once we get back though... Name the place and time, be there. Rookies, Hooters, etc.

I'll be looking at houses tomorrow! We listed our townhouse w/ Iowa Realty last Monday & got a cash offer that we accepted yesterday. :woot:

If the weather clears up, I'll be in for some cruising.

House hunting sucks ***** Jason! Ha. Took us FOREVER to find a decent ******* house man. IM sure you guys have abit more to play with in the $$$ department, so it might be abit more fun for you guys. Anyhow. That is why I havnt been on much as of the last 2 weeks. I have been working on the new house and trying to get it ready to move in. We are moving today and wont have the internet untill wed. at the new place.
