Matt

 

i go to college in Kalamazoo. I hope western doesnt screw you over like they did me i just party there now:lala:

what kind of car do you have? i will be up there starting in the fall again.

 

I got a Silver '85 Trans Am with t-tops and chrome rims.

How did Western screw you over?

Matt

 

Hey I live in Chicago but I have a cottage in Sister Lakes witch is right nere Dowagiac. So I am up there like every other week so if anything cool is going on or some of ya want to just meet up just pm me so I could bring my car, because I usually dont bring it cuz gas is a bitch. But I would be happy to bring it up if something is going on. And btw how is the steet racing sceen out there?

Thanks

Kevin

 

Anyone here??? Cuz I am goning to be in Michigan for a week at the end of this month so I was wondering if it was worth bringing my car.

Later

Kevin

 

I wont be there till the end of august. The 24th I move into the dorms.

Matt

 

I got to western and will be there this fall I have a 91 rs. Right now I live in holt michigan.

 

Sober333: What dorm you in? Did you go to orientation on July 7-8? Or are you not a freshman? Cuase I saw a 91 camaro there.

Matt

 

whats up Matt? I will be a junior at western next year and the dorm I signed up for is called davis. The car I drive can be seen at: http://www.cardomain.com/id/m91rs. What dorm will you be in? Also what major are you? By the way my name is also Matt.

 

Hey Matt,

I'm in Harvey. My major is Aeronautical Enginneering but that may change. How many others there have 3rd gens?

Sweet ride man. Looks good. Did you burn the chip yourself?

Matt

 

Wow that is the exact same dorm and major I used to have. I am now an industrial design major. The chip was burnt by a guy I know but I told him what I wanted out of it. As far as thirdgens in Kalamazoo I have yet to see too many nice ones there. There are quite a few beaten up ones but not that many nice ones. If you want to know any more or have any more questions for me you can hit me up on AIM at: M91RS or
MSN at: sober333@hotmail.com

later Matt

 

TTT cause I'm looking for more people around here. I'm looking for some info abou the area(good shops, speed traps, cops, etc)

SOBER333: Matt, I've tried to get a hold of you a few times, i've lost your email, hit me up on AIM : Firehawk4785. I got a buddy who is looking for a 90-92 camaro and i was wondering if i could get some pics of yours.

Thanks,

Matt

 

If you're in Kalamazoo, and you like road racing, you have to go to Gingerman Raceway. We went there the last two years with the Ford Contour and Taurus SVT/SHO group.

Side note: It was fun putting the Contour through it's paces and passing Cobras. I can't tell you how many people had the "WTF" look on their faces!!! More Contour info on my home page if for some reason you feel the need.

 

Thanks. What city is it located in? I'll have to check it out after I fix up the car a little.
I woulda enjoyed seein the contour run. Any vids of it?

Anyone else?

Matt

 

http://www.gingermanraceway.com/ has all of the info you need.

I don't have any online vids of my old car, but I own the official DVD's from the last two out of three "Spring Zing" meets that we went to that track for. The car show was at Lane Automotive near there too.

I have a copy of a friend's 2000 SVT Contour that rolled over at a go-cart track autocross meet though. The online link from their site isn't working and the file is to large to FTP it to my site for some reason. Probably a problem trying to FTP using websftp.com or something... I'll see what I can find... In the mean time, check out contour.org forums for some more Contour info. It's a fun little "grandma" type car that was really misunderstood here in the states.

 

I go through Kalamazoo quite often, at least a couple times a month.. Nice town.. I'm moving to Detroit in about a month and a half, good times.

 

WAYSIDEEEEEEEEEEE!! WhooHoo!! I will be there this saturday, going to a friends house that graduated from there and she never made it out of the town. I'm suprised she still has a liver.

 

Hey matt I have not been on here in a really long time too much school work but yeah you can get any of the pics you want off the web page and show your friend the car. Also my AIM is M91RS so feel free to hit me up on there talk to you later

matt

 

Soulrev: where about in detroit you movin too?

Sober333: I hear ya on the school thing, chem and math got me tied up most of the time too. Do you care if I take a few pics of the car? My buddy wants more. I can just ride up to Davis one day and take them if you are parked there, and if you dont mind.

Matt

 

Yeah that is cool you can take all the pics you want of the car. It is parked in the ramp acrossed from the rec. This is the only place I can park it and still have a roof over it. It is usually on the first floor of the ramp. If you cant get pics from there the let me know and I will move it to another location.


Talk to you later
Matt

 

i've been up there around campus with my car a lot, but i've only seen one other thirdgen really, a red iroc. i am always around Bigalow Hall.

anyone want to organize a cruise yet this fall before it snows? even if it just a few cars...

might only have a week or two before the car gets parked and it snows 3 feet:lala: :lala:

 

I'm up for a cruise. I go home this friday though. I'll be back on sunday. Maybe Central-Western week could work.

I've seen that iroc driving but I never seen it parked. I'm in the Valley 2 lot. In valley 1 theres a a couple nice camaros.

When are you usually driving through?

matt

 

what weekend is the game exactly?

i only bring my car up on the weekends mostly.... i havnt been through the valley's in a long time really

maybe since you live up there, you could put flyers on any thirdgens around campus? i'm sure i could find a place for us to meet.


what did you think of the halloween weekend? i know i had tons of fun :hail:

 

The Central-Western game is the 15th. I could put flyers on any 3rdgens, I just need to know what to put on there, I know of only a few cars up here though, and i dont see them all the time, maybe Sober333 could help out if he's interested? I know he's busy though.

:hail: Halloween!!
Crazy night. Had tons of fun, unfortunatly I didnt make it out to any parties, I just had the party in my dorm room My roommate didnt wake up till 5pm saturday!

Matt

O yea, I'm a member at Team3rdgen.com and at TransamGTA.com, I'll post there to see if others in the area are interested. I know a few people on these boards are members those too.
