ViperGTSR 04-02-2006 07:59 PM

Oh, and i like you because you have a yellow light on your car.

OH! and another thing! WHAT DONT YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND ABOUT "HEY, BRING TWO WAYS!!"?

freaking **** man, me and mike and tom were having a grand time talkin on two-ways while jon was running out of his car telling us where to go and people were frantically calling others because for some reason NO ONE knew where the hell they were.

UNCTYPE-S 04-02-2006 08:09 PM

haha steve (faststeve) from illinois said he got lost in the pack on the way to fudruckers and he was from around here. lmao I could just picture a chinese fire drill with you guys all making u-turns and calling people.

DrFabulous 04-02-2006 08:11 PM

I made one mistake alllll weekend..... Following a female. lol lol



:boxing: J/K Terese... but seriously, we were going nowhere fast.

ViperGTSR 04-02-2006 08:12 PM

Yea, freakin IL doesnt have like u-turn places, that we liked to call "Michigan lefts." We werent sure if you could u-turn at lights or not or what the deal was.

Kyle and I were ready to wage war on the state, it was great

DrFabulous 04-02-2006 08:15 PM

Oh, forgot to say... damn nice finally meeting you guys. Only person around here is Denise, and she's too cool to hang out with a punk kid like myself. I'm going to be up for making another run down there sometime after school gets out, for sure.

It's so wierd to look at people's posts and actually know who they are now... lol

Ajaxus 04-02-2006 08:32 PM

I called probably around 7pm. I was the one asking if you were still with everybody. I'm the other Jon.

I missed out bigtime and I'm still kicking myself for not finding out sooner. If only I had found out sooner I would've been there too.

Ajaxus 04-02-2006 10:21 PM

keep your eyes peeled, the next one i plan is going to be on turf that i know, and im gonna set up some events and places to go so it doesnt suck. my biggest problem with this is that i can organize the small stuff from far away but events and places to go where in the hands of the locals and even tho i did ask several times during the planning stages, nobody wanted to stand up and take charge of doing stuff like that. so the next one im working on will be alot more organized with more stuff to do. and ill make arrangements for cheap or free places for some people to stay if they have a long journey.

lone_wolf025 04-02-2006 10:24 PM

That I will. Course by the next meet I'll probably have AT LEAST one mod on my car.

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.

Thanks, I enjoyed meeting your whole crew actually ... and the Goat, as well as the STi were awesome. Also nice to know that Im not the only newcomer to the stick shift :)

Alex, I dont want to be a **** ... but we came to your room (my understanding wsa you guys were partiers) do atleast drink or something, and everyone was like sleeping or whatever. I wanted to chill with all of you, so did my friends I brought. We brought beer and sh!t for a good time, but after like an hour of sitting around nothing happened so we drove back to Dundee (like 15 minutes) to go drink at home.

Either way, whatever... I had a good time considering the weather, and Kyle is just as crazy as I thought... and apparently likes to have his balls massaged by doctors...

The weather focked this up the most. Had it been nicer people would have been more active I think , Idont know though whatever. Still glad I got to meet all of you.

***EDIT***

My focking walkie talkie was broken so I didnt bring it, but atleast I got us there?!? I dont know why no one followed me... I was litterally from the area.

Ajaxus 04-02-2006 10:43 PM

i have no problem with rolling into that target, the looks on people's faces was classic. it was your typical "WTF" look.

SilverEcstasy 04-02-2006 10:46 PM

Yeah I don't even understand why we went to Target. All that did was mess me up cause OF COURSE I got caught in traffic and had to mess around only to find out, we're totally not hanging out at Target. Fuddruckers was the original plan!

And wtf, IL has like 10.75% sales tax or something? It cost me $5 for 2 glass cups to get pop!

5-lO 04-02-2006 10:47 PM

Schaumburg is somewhere around 9.5% I beleive, recent tax hike. Its 5.5% state wide, most towns then get 1% on top, then if they have a population of xx,xxx they get to impose thier own rates ontop of that.

SilverEcstasy 04-02-2006 10:50 PM

Geez, that just seemed so high. Michigan is 6%. But it seemed like everything was alot more expensive. Then again, it is the "burbs" right?

Where I live and where Schaumburg is... right between that is the richest area in the State, so thats part of it, plus I believe the Mall (right by where you guys were staying) adds tax as well due to some property thing.

But back on topic, It was awesome to see the GTO, I had never actually be inside one and yours was quite nice.

Tom2K2GAGT 04-02-2006 10:54 PM

Sorry you guys did not have that much fun I know it was totally the weather with the rain and all. If this was like in June I know it would have been better!! Nice seeing everyone though for sure.

Mike man hadn't seen ya in like 3 years lol Hope your cars fixed up soon for ya.

Talk to you all lata

Ajaxus 04-02-2006 10:59 PM

So yeah, I guess I wasn't the only one that felt robbed on the local AND state taxes on our rooms? GOOD LORD! its almost as bad as DC, which is straight highway robbery if you go there.

Tom2K2GAGT 04-02-2006 11:06 PM

Sales Tax sucks!! lol But Hotels always have higher taxes!!

lone_wolf025 04-02-2006 11:10 PM

lol Now some of you know why Chicago and all the nearby suburbs suck so bad.

Ajaxus 04-02-2006 11:28 PM

yep, indiana=teh cheapness.

Kalvin97GAGT 04-02-2006 11:33 PM

What You Should Know About Ontario's Taxes

Ontario has an 8% Provincial Sales Tax (PST), a 7 % federal value-added General Services Tax (GST), special taxes on food and liquor in restaurants, and a room tax on visitor accommodation.

As a visitor you will be charged:
GST -- the federal Goods and Services Tax of 7 %. This is a value-added consumption tax that applies to most goods, purchased gifts, food/beverages, and services, including most hotel and motel accommodation.

PST -- the Ontario provincial sales tax of 8% on any goods you buy, but not on services or accommodation.

Room Tax -- a 5% provincial tax (in place of PST) on most tourist accommodation charges, as well as the 7% GST.

Food Service -- In restaurants, 7% GST and 8% PST will be added to the food portion of your final bill, as well as . . .
Liquor Service -- a provincial tax on alcoholic beverages (10%, in addition to the 7% GST).
So that means:
15% taxes on like almost everything you buy.
12% taxes on the hotel room.
17% taxes on served alcohol at bars/restuarants.

Um, what was I suppose to do. I following the group, had no #'s for the people I was following and didn't want to just bail on them. By the time we finally pulled over in a parking lot, I was all turned around at that point and it took me a moment to figure out where I was at. But hey at least I made it.:p

haha, if only you knew me. I don't party at all, tom gave up beer for lent and we were tired as ****. We didn't plan on our room being the party room, we thought AJ had that one on lock.

Ajaxus 04-03-2006 06:58 AM

I thought I did too, I even had beer pong ideas.

haha I am just too busy. Glad you had fun down in IL. You can come and hang out with Adam and all the GP guys if you want but there are no GA people up here but me you and Jess really!

Sounds like the meet didn't go as planned. Reminds me of the very first meet years ago I planned. lol It takes practice people! Good Luck to whoever sets up the next one.
