Hey all you fellow Chicago members........... Does the sun ever come out? Does the temperature ever get above 20 degrees? It was effin' freezing there.

Was up there for the NWE Engineering Show at McCormick Place. I think if I lived there, I would have bought the silver CL-S to camoflauge against the grey streets, grey building, grey snow, and grey sky. I feel for you guys in the winter. The Windy City sure lived up to its name.

Later

 

It's been VERY cold here this winter, with very little snow until last night.

Did you drive your CL all the way up here from Florida? That's one long drive.

 

It pretty much stays that way from November through the end of March. But once you see road construction, that's a sure sign that summer is on the way!

 

Its sunny as hell right now!....oh yeah, there is about 6" of snow on the ground though!

 

pussy

 

was there snow on the streets...or could you take advantage of the cold and...test...your engine??

 

You ought try Minnesota. But here's the answer...people who live there don't really realize how cold it is....until they leave.

 

Enjoy;

Rules for Tourists coming to Illinois

Don't laugh at the names of our little towns (Sandwich, St.Elmo, Gays,
Reddick, Dongola, Dupo, Ashkum, Boody, Farmer City, etc.) or we will
just have to kick your ass.

Don't order a can or bottle of soda here. It is called pop. Accept it.
Doing otherwise can lead to an ass kicking.

We know our heritage. Most of us are more literate than you are. We are
also better educated and generally a lot nicer. Don't refer to us as
Midwesterners. We are from Illinois and we can kick your ass.

We have plenty of business sense. We have to make a living here. We
admit to small lapses in judgment from time to time, but we are not dumb
enough to let someone move to our state just to run for the senate. If
someone tried to do that we would kick her ass.

Don't laugh at our cornfields or our Lincoln Log home. Anything that
inspires tourists to buy 50,000 post cards can't be bad. And in Chicago
don't point and laugh at the sculptures or we will kick your ass.

We are fully aware of how cold it gets here in the winter, so shut the
hell up. Just spend your money and get the hell out of here or we will
kick your ass.

Don't order the fruit plate for dessert. Order a steak and a potato or
pizza for dinner and then have cheesecake or we will kick your ass.

Don't try to fake a Chicago accent. We don't have an accent. If you say
we do then we will have to kick your ass.

Don't talk to us about how much better things are where you came from
because we know better. Many of us have visited big city hell-holes like
Detroit, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. If you
don't like it here, O'Hare is ready when you are. Move your ass on home
before it gets kicked.

Don't complain that Illinois is flat and that there are not enough
trees. If you whine about our scenic beauty we will kick your ass all the
way back to San Francisco.

Pronouncing the 's' at the end of Illinois is not funny. Doing it will
get your ass kicked.

Last, but not least, DO NOT DARE to come here and tell us Chicago is
full of gangsters. This will get your ass shot (right after it is kicked).
Just mention this and you will be wearing cement shoes in the bottom of the
Chicago river.

Now then welcome to Illinois, enjoy your visit, spend your money and
then go home.

 

bwhahaha nice!!

We are fully aware of how cold it gets here in the winter, so shut the
hell up. Just spend your money and get the hell out of here or we will
kick your ass.
