Re: Whos from Illinois around here?
Y'know, the few times that I've been to RLB (a buddy lives up there) I haven't even seen any cops... I was figuring that they were too small of a town to have their own cops actually. Guess I better keep my windows down on my truck next time I'm there - 20 tint.

Re: Whos from Illinois around here?
acting nervous if youre pulled over is the first mistake you can make
but then sometimes it just depends on the officer
if you act calm and collected then most of the time you are let go with a warning or less for whatever thing they pull you over for and wont suspect anything

Are you far enough south for that Southern drawl? My great grandma lives in Streator. She had it.

My neighbors daughter goes to Rankin in the automotive program. She loves it! Get ahold of me when you come to town. I own a house next door to me that I rent to college students. Maybe it will be available in the fall!

Re: Whos from Illinois around here?
Cool. Another Dixon-ite.
I think I've seen your car around town. I sold my Trans Am 2.5 years ago because we needed the money while the wife was off work sick for 6 months. She made it up to me and let me buy a new 2010 Ram 1500. I am sure you've seen it round Dixon. Its the Blue Quad Cab R/T (clone) with the ram air scoop on it and the black tonnuea cover. I only drive it in the summer on weekends when its nice out, and I pull my boat with it too.
I havent been active on these boards in several years but if you need any help with the Camaro, I studied the 3rd gens from top to bottom for 8 years during the resto-mod of my 87 TA. Just send a PM. I still look at the threads and such when I get notifications.

Re: Whos from Illinois around here?
There will be a bunch of us meeting at the Chicago Ridge Tilted Kilt this Saturday at 7pm. 
Just look for the guys wearing the MFBA shirts. Or just look for Steve's head, its so bright and shiny you could see your reflection from space.

Re: Whos from Illinois around here?
Its a good place to park. I'll be driving a Silver G6 GTP coupe, I dislike driving the GTA right now because it blew out the #8 portion of the header gasket. It sounds like a ******* hickmobile right now.
I usually park on the very top of the garage.

Re: Whos from Illinois around here?
Do people display their cars in the garage or is it just more of a place to park?

Re: Whos from Illinois around here?
Well, I'll be hanging around for a bit. Its not too far from work so I'll just head up after work in the G6.
I guess I'll stop by Al's Hobby shop around 4:30-5:00pm or so. In need of some RC car parts for one of my toys.

jealous!!! all i have is 2 t-maxx's, 1/10 traxxas slash, Losi late-model. I was going to go brushless on the slash but thats a winter/fall hobby for me. I had a video of me doing a backflip with it but don't have it anymore. Deleted most of the pictures so can't post any.
