I totally agree man. We've had a few small cruises though. Seems like the summer has gone by so fast but nothing has been accomplished lol.

lmao. i hear ya on the f-bodys though. we were supposed to have a photoshoot today in orland park but the weather is gonna be shitty. for the most part i would just keep an eye out in the midwestern section for some cruises we set up on the southside. nothing big ussually but you get to meet new people and have some fun for the day. i have been wanting to just go up to doty road (regardless of how bad it is with the dumbasses and the cops too) because theres nothing else that goes on. where at in joliet do you live? i take 53 from romeoville all the way pass rt.66 racetrack to go to and from work.
