Having to replace 4 tires after going thru an accident scene on I-94 this morning took care of all my funds for gas and food. Now I have to fight with the State Police and insurance to pay the $652 bill for the tires and the $250 towing bill!

I don't understand why so many people sign up and put their name to the list and don't show up...

Good thing we didn't BBQ with all the no shows we wouldn't have had much to eat. it would have sucked worse to drive in from Michigan for a five car meet! We'll have to try something different.

we were right where we said we'd be however we forgot to mention that the parking lot doesn't say skokie lagoons... its says emerson park or something like that.

Perhaps next time you guys should all meet up in a spot easy to find for everyone (like Portillos) so that no one gets lost... 
And then have everyone cruise up to a nicer place for people to snap pics and socialize.

I saw you as Seth and I were pulling in. We were turning right from Skokie Blvd. and I saw you leaving at the light right by Portillos. It crossed my mind you were there for a meet but were leaving since you didn't seen anyone there yet.
That wasn't me in the CL. I own a 2G Anthracite TL.

Picture sizes were suppose to be a joke... However, the option to edit the post is gone, I'm afraid we're stuck with this. As soon as we get to page 6 we won't have to worry about it.
