We're tired, ready for this long drive. I am completely sore all over, so no one make fun of me being sore, seriously. I may be acting very fragile, or may be wincing in pain from time to time. Just a pre-warning, its a bad first impression, I know, but I really messed up this time.

I have to work at 230. If I can, I'll try and swing by before work since its not too far off the expressway for me.

6:20am. Let the day begin :) Gonna go wash her, get the wheels swapped, do the window, etc. No waxing for you guys today haha sorry :) no time.

Gonna be SO tired.

7:32 a.m. Rise and shine!! We should be hittin the road in roughly 1 hour. Weather looks like this is as good as it'll get. Ah well, better than snow..Tuesday's Detroit forecast is 34 and snow. Ridiculous.

I'm finally able to go to bed now will be up at 10:30 to wash car, maybe wax a lil bit but lets ee if i even get to wash the car. I will be there though. Neons arnt working so if anyone want to check them i will be grateful. see you all ther and hope everyone has a safe trip.

woot! morning crew signing on!

ya im with everyone else its 7:40 and im gunna go wash the car so its shiny when i get there i hope woo hoo almost 5 hours till the meet

it's freakin' chilly outside :( I hate when its gloomy like this, you can see every piece of dirt, scratch, nicks, etc. on my car. haha. blah.

Have fun and drive safe everyone. Wish I could be there... maybe next time though. :)

word on that, keep us posted guys! :thumbs:

**** keeping safe. casualty number 1 already. woot

:/

It was really nice to meet all of you! Hope we can do it sometime in the summer on a warmer day.

Ill be sure to have my car painted ;)

a casualty huh lol

yea, kyle died. twice

we will remember him forever R.I.P


PS: gaaaaaaaaaay cowboy

wtf was the deal with the spoons?

btw, tell kyle next time he finds a shopping cart, he has to do more with it than leave it outside my hotel room, what a waste.


as for that storm, it feels good to be back before it hit in full force. now i just gotta de-wire the ps2 so i can play it inside :(

wait.....who the fock did I talk to last night from indianapolis with a 952 area code. I remember talking to most of the chi peeps, but someone texted me from that # and then I called it back. I forgot who I was talking to because I was too pumped for Benny and we were heading down there. lol

indianapolis? i didnt know we had anyone from indy that came out, far as i know there were only two hoosiers, me and the other other jim.

who the fock did I talk to then? lol 952 area code ring a bell? I was talking to them about clubs and fake id's and you guys were sitting in the hotel or some crap. I forgot the dudes name. He said he was 20. I thought it was you AJ at first, but you're not from indianapolis unless you were playing a april fools joke on me.

Lemme check the numbers in my phone....nope, don't know that number. I'm a 574.

Only april fools jokes yesterday was one my car played on me, friday night the right rear tire was a tad low, saturday morning it was almost on its rim. Took 2 hours to get it repaired, GODDAMNIT!


On a plus side, this happened Saturday no more than 5 miles from me before we left...

I saw maybe 20+ cops alone going down there, they represented 3 cities, the sheriff, and state cops. Also saw some hells angels going down there to help out.

Edit: video found here, havent watched it yet tho.

****. i left the spoons in alex's trunk.

Yeah we just realized that Kyle.

This weekend: Utter disappointment. That is all.

^ what he said

Other than a few random funny moments...

Weather: sucked
Tolls: sucked
Hotel: sucked
IL drivers: sucked
our accident: sucked
gas prices: sucked

Me and Alex spent the most time preparing for this meet, and ended up with the worst event happening to us. Basically we drove 5 hours to have dinner at Bennigan's, Fuddruckers, Denny's and step in Goose Sh*t.

Other than that, it was really nice to meet Jon (5-lo) and FastSteve.

well, I don't know what I was expecting in the first place with this whole meet. I think if it wasn't so damn cold, it would have been different. The weather pretty much put me in a not so excited mood to go out there. Nice to meet some of you though none the less

It was definately good to meet everyone! Too bad it was soooooo cold. Hopefully we can put something together this summer when its warm.

I feel some tears and depression in this thread all of a sudden. Only thing I see that didnt finish through is a plan B for the weather. Did you guys do a cruise? Did you guys go to streets? Did you guys go to cue can do? 18+ club....21-to drink with pool tables and dartboards. Bowling wasnt an option? I mean, what did you guys do? Sit in the hotel all night and drink? I heard people left early too. Boring or they had prior plans?

I'm not trying to bash the meet, I just didnt talk to anyone through the whole night, so I am just wondering what you guys did.

Sorry I couldn't make it....my flight out of Montreal Friday night was delayed 3 hours (winds at O'Hare), so I was pretty beat.
And Abby wouldn't have liked the weather.

Boy, Sorry I missed it....

There was no communication, and no sense of leadership by anyone. We all just kinda kept to ourselves, and with the string of severe weather coming in, we decided it would be in our best interest to just head home.

Sorry to hear that. I guess the addition of me and Denise woulda kept you all in check. lol So you guys drove home and didnt stay at the hotel?

yea, you ****ing bastard!!! they are sitting at my dad's waiting for you

gayest meet ever. next meet takes place in MI away from these retarded states of IL and IN

EDIT: and everyone left at like ****ing 7 or 8 and there was nothing to do, stupid.

DR. Fab is my favorite person though, lol.

sorry the weekend was a bust. gotta wait a few more months when it's warmer and the weather is a little more predicitble. I've been to a few successful car picnics at Busse and nice weather is the key. Also, having a couple grills there and food makes it more fun than standing around.

Sorry we bailed early, Savannah was getting hungry and cold.

I have to ask... WHY?? lol



Oh and Jim, FU that was me you fag.


I JUST got home. 943 miles round trip, averaged 27.3 MPG with full system and full set up suspension in trunk, and one passanger. Not bad.

im still mad that that vid of alex, mike and backhill doin the drive by after we turned around at the forest didnt come out :( neways most of you guys...at least the ones i met were really cool

Damn, tell us how you really feel. lol Maybe it was a good thing I didnt go.


bahahahhaa it was minneapolis and not indianapolis. lmao lol I was already half in the bag when I talked to you. Sorry man.

lol It's cool.

g'damn "apolis" names. 2 totally different states were talking about here. I thought it was AJ cause I thought he said Indianapolis and was 20 yrs old. lol

wait, didnt u get that vid of me though? i wanna see!

Saw you guys this afternoon driving on I94 between Milwaukee and Madison this afternoon- I was on the other side, or I'd have tried to catch up to ya. Glad you all got home safely.
