Still sucks though regardless. Stupid ******* people that dont watch what the **** they are doing really pisses me off. I would have ripped the guy out of the car and went to town. We all work so hard to mod these cars and keep them clean and looking good and then somebody in their **** box comes along and backs up into you!!!! Sorry to hear that dude, but yeah you should come out with us for sure we are always trying to get more people!!!

It seems as if I am the Oddball with the 06 Impala SS. I'm sure I'd enjoy a car show just as much as the next guy. They use to have car shows in downtown Joliet on thursday nights "Cruise Night" I dunno if they still have them though. A couple of weeks ago the "Ace drive-in" on Plainfield and Ingalls was packed with vettes. My daughter was the one that wanted to stop and look at them.........
