As far as the time and place the best for me will be earlier. Noon or 1pm...kinda around the time that was initially being planned on.

What you've all been waiting for...

ok, so time is the current issue...

1.) I say we can meet there at about 1:30 to 2ish (arrival),
2.) 2 - 3/3:30ish, we talk and take pictures, and enjoy the road.
3.) 3/3:30ish - 3:45ish we drive to Old Orchard and park on the roof of the parking garage (since the parking lot is always full)
4.) 3:45 - when you're homesick we relax at Old Orchard. ( i might wait for evening pics if i feel like it...)

this is my general ideas for now. Again, I will send all of this in the formal PM.

Luigi

I'm HOPEFULLY (if everything goes right) going to have the B18 in my CRX by then. Count me in for now. I live in Morton Grove so it won't be a bad drive at all.

Hey, I might be able to attend this meet on the 9th. I have some other compromises to attend to, but definitely if I'm able to go, I'll definitely attend. I just want to make sure people do go, and not end up making it a two person meet...lol...

Sound like a good idea. Let me know if you want to meet up in the morning before you head down

Bone stock, you still have a couple days to change that!!...J/K.

It doesn't matter if you have any mods or not, just come to hang out and check admire other cars. This meet could be inspiration to start modding if that was something that you thought about doing. Even if your car is stock maybe you have Nav, or your interior color is different from some of our other members, and we will want to take a peek.

If you have any questions/problems with your car, this is the perfect way to meet people in your area that own the same car, that might be able to help you out if you are in a bind. It's kind of like networking within a specific communitiy. Instead of chatting with everyone over the forum, you get to meet face to face.

C'mon out, and get your name added to the list. You have over 400 posts, it is about time you met some of the local members

heres a copy of the formal PM

NOTE: This is being sent to 40 people so the following information is for Honds/ Acura people ONLY!! b/c of the limited space.

When: Sunday, July 9th
Why: B/c we can and for Acura's 20th B-day.
Where(general): Skokie Lagoons in the NE suburbs. I recommend finding the map on "images" on Google.com, but you can take the I-94 Edens North to the East Willow exit or the East Dundee road exit (both get you to the same Skokie Lagoons!!)
Where(specific): in Skokie lagoons there is a stop sign 1/2 way between Willow and Dundee roads. We will be meeting on the more Northern 1/2 (the 1/2 of the Lagoons by Dundee road)
When: 1. Arrival: 2:00 - 2:30; 2. look at cars and talk w/ people 2:30 - 3:30; 3. leave and arrive at Old Orchard (right down the I-94) 3:30-4:00 (the most logical cruise!!); 4. hang out at Old Orchard 4:00 - you get tired!!
Other Details: @ Old Orchard, the parking lot is always full, where are an estimated 40 cars gonna park? We are parking on the roof of the Parking garage right by the expressway! (When the sun goes down, my camera will be ready!)


I just wanna say thanks tyo everyone for making this possible and also for the amazing support. I will see all of you in one week!!

Luigi

^^sounds awesome...I'm pumped!

Yeah, there should be at least 10-15 cars there, that's a very realistic number out of the 40+ people who know about it.

There's a 75% chance that a NSX will show up at least for a little while. The story goes that my friend from work has a brother who used to be the president of a street racing Acura club....

So if you don't know if you wanna go, just come and hit 90m.p.h. coming out of the apex of Skokie Lagoon's 8 sweepers, take pics of your Ack, enjoy the company of fellow Acura lovers, cruise down the 94, and eat at Old Orchard with your new found friends.

I don't see why you wouldn't go if you have nothing else to do!!

Ok get those cars washed for tomorrow!!

this will be really fun. I'm hoping to get a ride in a Type-S around the lagoons since mine is only a CL-P.

Just remember that the lagoons are extreme close to the 94, actually right off of it!! So if you keep going East looking for something, you're going too far!

the street in the lagoons is Forest Way. There really is no sign that says Skokie LAgoons, which i can't explain why!

look for a white 3.2CL. I'll be there around 2, trying to get a nice spot.

see you guys in a couple of hours!

Luigi

PS. I don't even need to watch the world cup game b/c I already know Italia is gonna win!! Forza Azzurri!

Hey guys, I gotta drop my g/f back at her place down in the city, so if I don't make it by 2:30 ...PLEASE wait for me until 3:30 ...I should hopefully be there before then to make the cruise to Old Orchard.

hey, very good turnout as was mentioned before. It was awesome to finally meet some Acura people from Chicago (the reason why i set up the meet).

We had some really nice stuff (13 in all): from the classic legend, to a 6 speed CL, to a red Cl-S w/ every mod there is (including nitrous!), four doors also represented w/ a beautiful TL-S that drove from WI, and plenty of TSX's as well as other nice TL-S's.

I wanna say sorry to a Red CL-S that I spotted driving away. We moved from Skokie Lagoons to a nearby parking lot at 2:50 b/c it was so hot. I went back to look for people. On the way, a red Cl drove away (Sorry man!!), but i was able to find the latebird, Ill TL.

OK see you guys next time,
Luigi

It took me a while to drove back to WI since I ran into a hail storm and need to take shelter under a bridge for a while....

I should have the pictures upload up shortly ....

It is nice to meet some Acura owner ... thanks for the good time.

I had a good time at the meet. It was cool to finally put some faces with some names. We should set up some more of these meets so we can drum up some interest with more people. The lagoons was nice but maybe next time we can meet at the beach, so we have some better scenery

couldn't have done it w/o you guys! Hey, if you guys got new ideas, start a new thread listing them and put a link here. If we had this much fun now, just imagine what this could become in the future!!

remember, everything starts small
