Should I expect anything going on this summer when I move up or is it hopeless anymore?

There used to be a pretty good sized scene here in Springfield, MO a few years ago, but now it's just a bunch of teenies being dumb asses.

Do you guys meet up anywhere with planned meets or anything like that? I'd be up for meeting some new people since I'll be new and friendless.

I could get down there, the car will have quieter mufflers and have drag radials in back.

Just had the '02 car out for a little spin. Streets are clean and dry at the moment. That'll change tomorrow though.

Lincoln and Diversey, I don't think I ever saw you around, we lived over at Lincoln and Wrightwood from 2002 to 2005 but I never had my cars over there.

We should meet up when it's nice, maybe my house I have a ton of parking I'm a stone's throw from Lane Tech. Formy is all done and coming home any day now and the Camaro is here.

I'm down with this. Just need the weather to come around for us. Myself and SPRAYED 01 spend a lot of time around California and Irvin Pk since that's where he keeps his car.

We need to organize some kind of Chicago downtown-ish cruise during the Summer. Of course we'll have to wait for all the potholes to be filled in...

I can't afford all the red light tickets in Chicago, so I just avoid that city. Or take my plates off first.

Damn this thread dropped down again.

Once it gets nice out maybe we can all meet up and drive out to one of the car spots and hang out. I'll take the Camaro which is my most reliable fun car right now.

I'm ready for that John.

All we need now is some double digit temps and about 12 inches of rain to clear the roads of salt.

I'm actually starting to sell my Jeep since I bought the TBSS, but it's a beast in snow I've driven through foot high piles of snow in it but mines lifted 3 inches.

You have a Wrangler? I've got a '97 TJ 3" Rusty's lift with 33" Pro Comps. It's a best in deep snow, but on ice, mud tires suck!

They are very fun vehicles though. I really do want a nice 98-02 F-body, but I can't sell my Jeep... gotta find a good deal so I can have two awsome vehicles.
