There are two shows I go to regularly during the spring/summer. Friday nights at the McDonald's on Kirchoff Rd. in Rolling Ghettos, ahem, Meadows, and Photo's hotdogs on Wolf Rd. in Wheeling/Mt. Prospect on Saturdays. I hardly ever see thirdgens at these shows. Anyone want to help remedy the problem this spring? =)

-Reno

 

seeing as how I live right here in schaumburg and often drive through that area, id be willing to cruise through in my 91 bird this spring.

 

funny, i have taken my iroc z there quite a few times last year and plan to this year too. i need to sell my blower and the best place for interests is a cruise night

 

Any one of you guys cruise around in Wood Dale? There are a bunch of shows in towns near me, like: Roselle, Bensenville, Elmhurst, to name a few.

sometimes the mfba likes to go to elmhurst to show off our new fast cars that would demolish those muscle car oldies hehehe. ever see a 98purplez28 with flames and a custom wing? that is HACKER JOE, he was on the cover of GMHTP a while back and shows his car off there. but yes i do get around and have been out to roselle a few times showing off the blower

 

HEY NOW! I really like old muscle cars, in fact I am in the process of finding a '69 Charger R/T to turn into the General Lee, but it is kinda cool to show the old guys what todays muscle cars are like. There is nothing like the rumble of a big block! Some other cool muscle cars are: Chevelles, Challengers, GTO's, old Camaros and Firebirds, c'mon they are still bad @$$, for old guys atleast.

Crystal Lake? How bout directions?

-Reno

 

crystal lake is FFFFAAARRRR from normal, illinois. i live in chicago and going at a decent speed crystal lake is half hour from me

 

Prochargeiroc, Im just throwin some ideas out here. driving half hour isnt that bad to see some sweet *** cars that you havent seen before. There is usually a very good turnout. I dont know where you guys live exactly so Id say that a state map would be your best source for directions

 

Crystal Lake is about 3 hours North of Normal. U take I-39 N and I-90 east. Thats the round about trip.

I only go to school in Normal, I live in Palatine, that's why I started this thread about NW burbs cruise ins.

-Reno

 

dude, i drive 20-30 minutes anywhere i go because all the members in my club are all in the nw suburds. i just meant it would be a haul for him

 

I gotcha

 

Hey guys I live in Rockford, and I was wondering how far a lot of you where from me. I would be willing to do some cruise nights if I knew where to go

 

IROC87350,
You should come up to Janesville on a Friday or Saturday night. Its nuts especially when there are 'official' cruises going on. Actually it can get so conjested your best bet is to find a parking spot along Milton Avenue and watch the show! Unfortunately there are accidents because people pay more attention to what is going on around them rather than driving the car

Hell, even on a regular weeknight during the summer you can find some street action. I'm about 30 minutes north of Janesville. You should check it out sometime when the weather gets nice.

Hey some of the mustang guys I know had gone up there before, I never went up there because my car wasn't done for most of the summer. I always wanted to go see what it was like. I heard that the police are kinda strict now though. Couple of people said they ran from them on I90 all the way to the Illinois border because they can't cross the stateline? That doesn't seem true I must say. Yeah I am going for sure this summer. I there many thirdgen's there?

 

hey man you can count on me going to the shows in rolling meadows. i was there once or twice last year after i got my car. youre right didnt see many thirdgens though

 

When do you guys think the car shows will begin? Obviously after Spring....I just need to know how much time I have until D-DAY.
