We're a bunch of Illinois freaks in this thread. Do we know how many members are from Illinois on ACNA. We have got to have a meet this summer. It won't be at a Chubs game though. ;D Hey Scotty, you moved that on me while I was trying to modify it...lol...well as long I am modifying, I vote we meet someplace warm ;D...Florida? j/k That would be cool if it could be arranged. There have been several (younger) Chicago-area members come and go, and a meet was discussed but never occurred. I think right now we have more regular posters from IL than any other time. Present and at the top

I am 50 miles west of Downtown Chicago off of I88. Spring/Summer would make sense

Anyone know of any nice camping areas up around the northern parts? I wouldn't be opposed to traveling if we could make a family camping trip out of it. Of course that does mean driving two vehicles (the RV and the Aurora) which is less than ideal.

Your husband is allowed to come and protect you from us big, bad, Aurora monsters. Come on, you want to meet us. Javi and I only bite a little.

Javi and I only bite a little. I will tell him he is allowed, I'm sure he will appreciate that. want to meet you, well I don't know about that. on the one hand, it would be pretty cool to see a bunch of Auroras in one place. on the other hand, anonymity ;D is a pretty cool thing too! and on the other hand, if the hubby couldn't go, he really doesn't like strange men looking under my hood **edit** oh, now I get it, on the other hand, you and Javi just want me to make my awesome chocolate chip cookies

i... i like cookies Damn budsang, you caught me. But in my defense, there wasnt any salt on the road, and it wasnt supposed to rain until after I was supposed to get off work. I really enjoyed driving her, actually it was AWESOME ;D It took a couple hours of cleaning last night before I parked her again but it was worth it.

That new college sticker seals the deal, your IN!!! My car is an everyday driver, this is not a car show but a get together. You know, meet and greet those that we have conversed with over the the year/s. It is about friendship not a competition. Comradery! You will make it or I will have my friends on the Rockford PD find you and drag your @$$ there!!

you all pamper your cars, clean the tips, do your mods, etc etc etc. That's probably one of the biggest lies we all tell each other. Sure, we wash our cars right before taking digital photos and showing them off here. But then we drive them again and all that goes away! Here's what my Aurora looked like a day or two after our last snow: Sexy, huh? It's only marginally better looking at the moment, because we've gotten some rain. So instead of driving through salt I'm driving through mudpuddles (hey, the mud doesn't show up as much as the salt on a dark-colored car). So that excuse is blown too! ;D We don't care about the cars, it's just cool to get them together and meet one another. That's the goal of most car clubs anyway, we just get used to the faceless internet format nowadays.

Scotty, I am seeing a new side of you ;D (and for all you "sick" people, you know who you are, I am not talking about his back side ) Funny, our cars look a lot alike. I always forget what color my car is in these midwest winters, for months I think it really is gray! You mean you all have faces? ;D can it be a meet and eat? ;D **edit** and that photo has got to be making Poindexter cringe

Scotty is that the best you can do? Your in Chicago, your car can look worse than that!
And Kay, who are you calling "sick"? Hmmmm, you thought of his backside before any of us did. Look in the mirror and join our club.

Look in the mirror and join our club. Scotty, sorry, I really was not thinking about your backside. In all those years of private school, the nuns forgot to mention - beware of oldsnut!

The Catholic chuch has banned even whispering my name Kay. That is why you were not warned.
What would be a good time of the year for everyone?
