That's right guys, I'm gonna be the first to admit I was wrong. I thought I could make it, but due to gas prices, among other things, I will not be attending. Just thought I'd give a couple guys that I had talked to a heads up. I'm sure I'll get some bashing for this, but sometimes you just can't quite make it. It would be over 1200 mile round trip. I'm currently getting 10 miles to the gallon. Do the math. I wish I could go so much, this was what I was looking forward to all year. Now I have nothing. Oh well, not like you'll miss one black IROC up there anyway. I hope you all have fun, and I can't wait for pics. Take care all, and have safe trips.

 

Bummer dude ! Maybe some other time or other event . By the way , our local St. Louis site is called team3rdgen.com . Come check us out .

 

Sorry to hear that, I was looking forward to going for a ride in a Iroc with some *****. There's always next year I guess and if for some reason Denny doesn't have it, I'll have a get together at my place.

You still planning on doing the power tour?

 

Perhaps Des Moines is a little closer...

So you think gas is high in Mo. We charge n arm and a leg in Illinois and Indiana. so don't let something like that stop you.

We'll take lot's og pics for you.

 

Now I know its bad, but its not that bad here in IL. In fact, less than 5 minutes from the road you take to Denny's its $2.09 at shell. If you want to fill up there before you guys get to Denny's, its in Beecher, if your coming down 394 South, keep going instead of turning left to get to Denny's, follow the road for another 5 minutes south for gas, and theres a Phillips 66 another minute south of that for the same price! The Shell you drive by down 394 is about 10 cents more. I'll post the price of gas again on friday, so you get an idea.

 

Its Friday, and the gas prices here in Beecher are still $2.09. Beecher is about 5 minutes south of 394, continue going straight, and it'll be Route 1. Watch yourself on 394, cops have been out like crazy. Construction Zone is a speed limit of 45, i have seen quite a few people get pulled over already. See you all there!

 

I won't be able to make it either.

I just started a new job (finally), and I have a 3 day weekend (paid Holiday on Monday ) but I'm heading down to KY to take my son to see my parents (Grandma and Grandpa).

Screw the gas price excuse. At $2/gallon, that's about 50¢ more than it was last year, multiplied by 30 gallons of gas (which is what it's going to take me to get there AND back) is only $15 more than it cost me last year to go see my parents. Even if it was a full $1 more, it would cost me $30 more.

I don't understand why people get all bent out of shape about the gas prices.

Anyway, I'm sorry I'll miss it. I do still want to buy 2 tickets for the car though. I guess I'll email Denny.

 

i agree on both statements. my car does NOT want to go to denny's....and certainly this time i can't make it go

 

I guess you missed the part about it being a 1200 mile round trip at 10 miles to the gallon...

 

You guys really missed out

I made it from Schaumburg to Crete and back to Schaumburg in a half tank of gas with 3.73s

It was about 160 miles rountrip

 

No. I wasn't speaking specifically about you, just people in general. I just got tired of hearing about it every morning on the radio on my way to work.

 

it was 500 miles round trip for me 3:73s,a converter that wouldn't lockup and a bad O2

 

i didn't see one cop or anyone pulled over on 394

 

I saw at least one person get pulled over on 394.

geez man....that was your car....wish i would have met you then. i checked it out but didn't see the owner anywhere when i walked around it.

 

Yep that was mine alright. Now do you believe me when I said it was stock?

BTW, what car did you cruise up in.

Oh yeah and my old car was 2 cars to the left of it. The red T/A

 

My bad.

 

i cruised up in that black lowrider S-10 SS. I believe that car was stock-ish, besides the bottle hookups looks like a nice ride....i missed out on saying hi though
