Re: anyone out there?

We just fixed up our 91 vert and I am curious as well. From the lack of response it doesn't sound like it. I did see a cool spring/fall cruise that goes through wisconsin. http://www.fallcruise.org/

Re: anyone out there?

That would definately be cool to have a get together/cruise day with a bunch of us. I know some more people around the ripon area that have third and fourth gens that would be up for that as well.

Re: anyone out there?

I have a 89 gta that I have done alot of things to. New seats, carpet, ram air hood, wheels, and lots more. My buddies and I go on quite a few cruises during the summer and we always turn heads, so hopefully we can get some more cars and really have some fun.

Hey man that's real close to me...I work in sussex. Anyways hows it going on the swap? I'd love to get my hands on an 85-90 trans am gta. Can't just have camaros. We definetely gotta get a cruise going or a gettogether for all of us around here soon! One of my cars is completely torn apart, and the other looks kinda crappy but i'd still love to get together.

Re: anyone out there?

man most of you guys a bit to far north for me to actually drive. Mine is also a work in progress. If something did happen I would be willing to come down and hang out. Will bring the car if i ever get a T56 installed. With the TH350 and the 3.73 gears i burn through gas to fast to make it down to the Milwaukee area.

I'm in Ripon, I'd be willing to go where ever for a get together/cruise.
Ranone21, your in Portage, right? I know that area pretty good, I used to work in Portage. How's your car coming along? Did you get your 4th gen seats in yet?

Re: anyone out there?

Hey Racing Geek,

What is autocrossing at Miller Park? I just started school today at UW-M, first semester of my PhD so I know the working and school leaves little fun car time. Anyone doing this fall cruise thing? http://www.fallcruise.org/ Looks intersting but a little farther away than their Spring Cruise. http://springcruise.fallcruise.org/

Thanks for the comment on the sig...just used photoshop on a photo and made one layer a water color of the photo and one layer the original photo and cut out everything except the car.

The sig is easy...just did this photo from your vBGarage in about 5 minutes. If you want it trimmed down to a signature size I can do that.

I autocross in the Miller Park (Brewer's Stadium) parking lot, here is the website if you are interested in joining the fun: http://www.scca-milwaukee.org/Solo/solo2.html
If you click "Local 2007 schedule & results," and then click the seach by class for the different events, look for Michael Manke #101 with the silver Dodge Dakota under the Rear Drive Street Tire class to see my results (I was able to beat a couple corvettes and mustangs in the truck on a couple days). Now that I got the camaro I will be using that.

As for school, I'm still a junior in high school.

Those cruises sound like fun!!
