A thought just occured to me as I drove out of my companies parking lot. We could have a meet in the lot, parking for at least 50 cars, washrooms, even a soccer size field for whatever, We can play some bags, take some pics, we can BBQ, drink (moderately) hell we even have wireless internet, close to I55, 294 and 355 even some forest preserve roads for a cruise. If we all commit to bringing something maybe more people will show. Family friendly, a Loews theater right around the corner.

I work on Davis St. ... there's a Chase Bank ATM parking lot that is empty on the weekends (after 3 on Sat.) ... we can easily fit 15 cars... easy. Not to mention we can get something to eat right across the street... where i work.

By the way, if anyone sees an asshole driving a modded Black GTI in Glenview, Skokie, Morton Grove, or Chicago, wave hello.

Awww, sorry I missed the meet...haven't bought my Acura yet. Even though Badger made it clear that anyone is welcome, I felt really dumb coming in my beat up (hail-dented) Eagle Talon.

Well, it would be great to give another shot at this. I will bring along some Accord/Honda guys so that turnout should be much better than what happened here....
August would be nice. I bet a few people are going to be heading off to school so a meet in August sounds ideal to me.

What about myabe even Sept 6th? I know that a lotta people are busy in August! Besides, maybe it'll even be cooler by the 6th, and it'll give everyone more time to get more mods done!

You guys need to find place in mid chicago, not North. this way everyone can come up, but just North side people. Evanston is the worst place to get to and skokie is not much better. try like addison or something.

Unless its a Sunday, count me out too. At new job, I have Sunday and Monday off and I work 2nd Shift. Last time, I took charge and made this post for Skokie meet, but since only 5 of us showed up, someone else can go through that hassle, I'm done.
