Since I come out to Miami subs once in a while, I was wondering if anyone wanted to make the trip down here for a night of fun. No ricers there either. ^_^

LOTS of nice street rods, with plenty of muscle. Not a single grain of r|ce to be found though.

Later on if you feel the need you can cruise down to the McDonalds in barrington and watch the idiots come after 10:30 when Streets of Woodfield gets out. Those are where the real idiots are, lots of racing, lots of cops too so you have to be a bit more cautious of what you do.

 

-=cries like a little baby=- I WANT MY CAR FIXED!!!!!!!!!

 

Bring the Tempo, I brought my Escort with me to the Volo Auto Museum becasue my GTA wasn't running at that point.

You can find most of the stuff from that meeting here. https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...highlight=volo

 

well i'm planning on being there with my GTA ...

was there last friday with my uncle and his 67 bird...was pretty cool that night...
finally got my car running...but it's gotta a overheating problem
and realized my fans aren't working...gotta figure this out before i can continue to drive my car around..

 

You were there? You didn't happen to see the thirdgens all next to eachother by the grassy field did you? A grey v6 firebird, and my white GTA.

 

i think i would be game for that. yeah count me in

 

Sounds like something good to discuss on saturday so we have something planned for next weekend too dont it bill?

lol

Later
Jeremy

 

I might actually be able to make it. I probably work til like 4 or 5. Where exactly is it and how do I get there?

No guarantees though. Today, I was driving on 95th towards La Grange. If anyone's from around here, they know La Grange is under some major construction, so 95th is down to one lane each way. There was a car that broke down going east, and I said "Man, that sucks. Broke down on a one lane road". This was a block away from La Grange. I get to the light at La Grange, and realize I had forgotten to lock my t-tops when I put them on cause of the rain. I shut off the car, lock them, go to start it and it WON'T START. Volts gauge was on about 9. So needless to say, that sucked. The battery is charging now. Hopefully its just the alternator since its got a warrenty.

 

i might actually make the drive for this if in fact there will be other 3rdgeners there

 

Lol don't kid yourself. Memorial day was advertised and planned for months, not to mention it was a holiday weekend so people didn't have to work. Most of the time people don't show due to work or somethin else, or possibly they just don't wanna go.

I've given up on any gatherings that aren't planned much ahead of time. Don't forget Sterling. Lol.

 

The bloomingdale mcdonalds was pretty cool, but don't go to barrinton and Irving. Its not worth getting a $50 ticket for.

 

Hey Mark AKA Mean 5.7 can you come pick me up then? i car won't be done by them and i would love to go but i'm not takeing my mom's Ford Tempo

 

Hey, I'll be there whether you guys are there or not. I've come out to miami subs a few times and its simply too far to come out every friday night, or even every other weekend.

 

yeah fruity one,
i was there,
my uncle decide to park next to you guys after that one car left..
he said he wanted to park next his own kind haha (f-body)
i did see your car and the grey one..

there were too many camaros there that night and not enough firebirds....which is typical...of couse i don't have anything against the camaro but like i say for every firebird you count/see there there will be 5 or more camaros...

i think next time my freind with his GTO, my uncle with his 67 bird,
and i'll bring my GTA next time by...
i'm gonna try to get a hold of my other buddy he's got two T/A's
one a 77 and another a 78 ...one is his restoration car, the other is daily driver

hope to see you all there

 

I'm close to home for the 4th tonight, is the cruise still going on at McDonalds? I don't think many people will show up otherwise.

BTW, my AIM name is FruityGTA if anyone here uses it.

 

man the one week the make me work at 5pm on friday and i miss a cruise night people from IN are coming out for it grr!! i'm mad now, maybe i can switch with the morning person...i'll see cuz i want to meet up with the IN people!! oh by the way, my interior will be getting done in 3 weeks!!!!!!!!

 

So.. where is it and how do I get there?

 

Open this link and click on "Get driving directions to this location" when the mapquest window finishes loading.

Its the McDonalds on the Corner of Lake st. AND Bloomindale rd.

Plug this information into Mapquest.

Lake st. AND Bloomingdale rd.
Bloomingdale, IL

You don't need a zip code. Where it says ADDRESS use the intersecting streets listed above.

 

Cool, thanks man.

Its only a little over a half hour from here, so I'm gonna try and make it if I can. What time will you be there?

 

Well, I left just after I posted, and I just got back now, about 9:15. No one showed up, so I hung out with the few cars that did show up.

Turns out McDonalds cancelled the cruise night because its a holiday. The 11th should fill to its normal capacity though. About 150 to 200 cars on average.

Later on there is one a bit further north that has about 500 cars on average.

I'm still on for the 11th and if you want parking I'd suggest BEING there at 6:30, no later than 7:00 or you won't find a spot at all. Gaurenteed. If we get there early enough we can all park next to eachother.

The Illinois Camaro Club ALWAYS makes its presence known with about 8-10 cars. Plenty of old vettes show up too.

I'm usually there from 6:30 to 10:00 at the latest, after that I go and cruise somewhere else. The McDonalds on rt 53. and Kirchoff road looks to be my next cruising spot after that.

The cops crack down here badly on some places (barrington rd. and Irving Park rd. especially).

 

Okay, I should find out what time I have work til on Friday this Sunday.

 

my friend "Dood" posted pics of the day he was at the mcds and we ran into him!! check out this page from his website for photos most of those cars are regulars so if you like what you see come out and see it in person!! as you can tell we need a bigger 3rd gen presence there...more the better!

 

Hey....that's my car! http://www.boxofwires.com/doodvision...3-002-jpg.html

I will most probably be there te 11th.

 

Yeah, damn you and your 9,000 mile Iroc!!! I want your car in the worst way.

 

Anyone else going?

 

yup i'll be coming there..with my GTA.
i get out of work at 5:30 but have change my check, and hopefully go straight there so i guess i would be there around 6
i know it is definatly hard to find any kinda good parking space
and yeah we need to show or thirdgenerations presense, side by side

now that i think about it....i may end up changing my check on sat instead...just so i can get a good spot ..
hope to see ya all there

 

well now that my car is just about ready to fire up i should be there :-D woohooo! my bird is back on the road again! (well it will be soon)

 

Cool, keep an eye out for me.

 

Is that a fri or a sat?

If its a fri the IN crew is sol, with traffic it would take us 2 hrs easy to get there.............if we head out that way we need a sat or sunday deal...........trafffic eheading back on a fri is extremely bad
LAter
JEremy

 

Its on this Friday.

 

I doubt I'm gunna go out there on a Friday night. Like Jeremy said the traffic on the way out there on a Friday night is ridiculous

 

I will try to make it there, as long as I can get out of work early. I won't make it in time to get a spot with you guys, but if I come, I'll look for all of you.

 

if it's gonna be on friday i work till 11:30 pm

 

Yikes, darn. Oh well, guess I'll have to find a place that has a cruise night on saturday.

 

you know there are two places in joliet that have cruise nights. one is wendays night over by the mall and the other is thurday night downtown. and like all cruise nights they all start with a car show.

 

I might be able to make it

 

Hey andy we should hang out some time your not all that far away and you around my age LoL you and me should get a crew going and go down to the track.

 

Okay, talked to my boss today, I get off at 4:00 on Friday so I will be there unless my car self destructs by then. I'll try and be there around 6:30, save me a spot if ya can.

 

If the weather is nice, if I don't have to work (starting new job later this week), and if April buys the tranny before then (I need money) I'll go. If not, won't be there.

 

They're callin for storms Friday

 

i work at 5pm and cant find anyone to switch with me so i'm gonna be at my work till 11pm latest...so if you guys come out and hangout somewhere after the show (if the weather is nice) let me know where you'll be cuz after i get off i can hang out. if i dont see any of you, have a blast the car show is really cool!

 

If the weather is gonna be ****ty, I won't be there. I hope it doesn't rain though.

I gotta clean up my engine bay, its a mess right now.

 

if i can make it i will come, but i owe a fellow genner some help installing headers on his car the 11, but we can only hope right??

 

I checked up on the weather, and looks like its going to be partly cloudy, but otherwise dry and cool. A good night for a get together.

 

So, how many of you are def coming. The weather looks dry.

Would be nice to have a thirdgen presence there.

It's tomorrow, so lets pull it together.

 

I'm going to wash my car right now so it looks decent tomorrow.

 

I'll wash my car tomorow after I get out of work, or in the morning. If I do that I'll probably spend all day waxing the darn thing.

 

Just finished with mine, we better not get any surprise rain

 

Unless there's a weather change, I'll be there to show off my new toy.

 

Stet, I used to work for the Bolingbrook Park district. I taught Gymnastics at the Annerino center.

Just head north on 355
east on Lake Street. Lake St, is the exit after Army Trail rd.

McDonalds will be on your right (north) side, about 1/4 to 1/2 of a mile after you pass Portillo's.
