This year, lets try and do a few meet ups. Maybe an autocross and a road race session too

Any takers besides the normal four?

I miss forums, social media facebook and reddit suck it

 

Im here about daily

 

I check in multiple times a day. Gives me something to do when I take a break at work.

 

So we still got a few of us, good. This place so used to be the ****

 

Former chicago area folk?

 

Pretty much once a day. Usually to respond to Dave's @novadk13 thread.

I was actually thinking about posting up to see if anyone was interested in doing a meet up. Something like Stateline pizza like we used to do.

 

Me Too!

 

I am a newbie to the forum (a year now) but I find a lot of good stuff in here for the new to me '88 GTA. I check multiple times a day. Southern Indiana

 

totally down with that one lol Dining room is still technically closed, but I'm sure I could utilize my connections to make it so :-)

 

I check in every couple of days to see if anything is new.

 

I am on here nearly daily, more so in the summer driving season. The forum is better than FB with way more of a knowledge base without the goofballs IMO.

 

Oh there’s goofballs here 😆

 

Im on here everyday. I always check the classifieds

 

Ditto.

 

Obviously Friday/Weekends are better for most of us.

There is also Taps & Tenders in Naperville, which has some excellent foods. I don't drink so I can't speak to the alcohols, but other people seem to enjoy them. @Camarothatcould

 

Ugh last I checked this was NWI thread, not NY or FL. LMAO

 

I mean, if they wanna drive a few thousand miles for some dinner....

 

My bad. I didn’t realize this thread was in a regional forum. Lol
I would like to visit Chicago sometime. Isn’t there a big annual fbody show in IL somewhere?

 

I check in several times per week, and will be starting a new at home turbo thread here soon. First time turbo user so I will have lots to learn!
This forum has helped me numerous times throughout the ownership of my TA. Very thankful

 

I come here at least once a week. Too far from ChiTown to meet. Here's a nice pic for ya's!

 

I have thought about signing up with LAPs for an Autobahn track day this year. Another group I run with is in the planning stages of a Dragon trip this year.

not sure how things will go there, just getting prequalified for a house, still need to find said house.

but I want a house with a 3 car garage, or at least a two car with enough land to build a pole barn for toys.

 

Most people in this thread so far appear to own a Firebird. Can always go to Firebird Fest if they do it again this year.

I don't think my car would survive a track day. It's a fun car but it's not a race car. Road course is brutal compared to a short trip down the drag strip or around a parking lot.

 

GTA has been on track a few times, built for it actually. But the electrical has let me down so much. It holds up under a few 20 minute sessions. I would watch it more if I was gonna do a 25 or 30 minute session. I don’t think the engine cooling would deal with it. And I’d probably hit the limit of the c5 brakes unless I went with Castrol SRF fluid, and some actual race pads. The bakes would get HOT.


daily driver has been to the track twice, both autobahn full. Never taken that one to Road America, but it would do very well for itself. Also built for track work from the factory. Has the cooling and brakes in spades. It can really give the Porsches a run for their money on a slower track like autobahn.

 

I'm still hear EL Guapo!!!

I'm just not driving a 3rd gen
Still looking and still been sighing about my last ride I once had.
At least I'm driving a Pontiac once again only it's an 'ol Grand Prix GT model (wish it was a GTP)

If ya'll planning on doing something down the road I'm all in about it! I have a few ideas too (like I use to) on what we can possibly do this summer!

 

New here, many camaro's over the years and finally got a 3rd gen (85 z28 carbed 350 a4). Ill be checking in daily , lots to learn.

 

Pop in maybe once a week, been lazy on working on my turd lately

 

I am still here but have not been back for awhile.

 

I'm still here.

I urge all the local guys to attend ThirdGen Expo. It's a good time!

 

I was there in 2016, I really enjoyed it. Learned how to drive stick on the way there and back lol.

 

OBSERVE! How one can really see the great lines and styling of F-Bodies, when they are displayed in their driving state! HOODS CLOSED.

 

I attended the first 3 years. First one was after a 5 month under hood refresh- engine, trans, rust repair and paint. Met some great folks. These days the car hasn’t seen the street in 3 years and I check in here every few weeks. Not much time to spare unfortunately.

 

Still the biggest damned stop sign I've ever seen. Its coming up on 20 years since I took this pic.


Thirdgen Fest Stop Sign biggest

 

Looks like Route 1 near Crete maybe?

 

Yes, on the way to Thirdgenfest.

Sign is long gone now, traffic lights.

 

I grew up down the road a bit and remember those giant signs. Seeing those usually meant I was on my way to Krazy Kaplans for some 4th of July pop bang boom supplies.

 

I'm sometimes here

 

I'm still around. The Camaro has been in the back burner but I still have it, it's tucked away in the garage waiting to come out some day.

 

I still check in every so often. I think I only put about 100 miles on my Iroc last year between house projects and working 60 hr weeks.

Somebody @ me if you meet up at Taps and Tenders. That's about 5 minutes from my house.

 

Haven’t come here as much as I used to.. I recently moved but still have family here. Visiting them this week brought me back here…Good times and good memories…
