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

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,

.

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.

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

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!!

But Hotels always have higher taxes!!

lone_wolf025 · 04-02-2006, 11:10 PM

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

Ajaxus · 04-02-2006, 11:28 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.

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.

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

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.

It takes practice people! Good Luck to whoever sets up the next one.
