Name: Gitas (gotta love the ethnic names)
Location: Lemont, Il
Rides: Black 1991 Z28 auto (garage queen)
Green 1991 T/A 5 spd conv. with tan top (summer car daily)
Maroon 1991 Explorer 4X4 5spd (winter wagon/parts hauler
I drive all over but not too much cruising; I work full time and go to UIC evenings, so free time is precious. EVERY Wednesday there is a carshow in 'Downtown' Lemont, occasionally go there. Otherwise its Lemont Inn or Tom's Place Down the street. Summer weekends usually at the beach in Union Pier, Michigan.
Wave if you see a green/tan 91 T/A convertible, locally I only know of one in Schaumburg (with these colors), so if you see one its probably me.
Just thought I'd check up on you guys. I was born in Valparaiso, IN. Spent numerous years in Chesterton, IN. Went to school @ I.U.Have worked in Gary, Joliet, Oakbrook. Moved to Houston in 1980. Bought my Camaro in 1986. Had it ever since. I've never drove it back to Chi-town, though. Now that it has the new motor, that might be on the agenda soon. Just had a new windshield put in yesterday. Paint job coming soon.
