[ChiTownMaraud3r]

I'm down if it ain't salty out. :up:

[Zack]

Im in.
PS, you dont need to bring your MM to attend :up:

[TAKEDOWN]

Not sure if I can get this day off, we shall see!

[Zack]

Not sure if I can get this day off, we shall see!

More pizza and beer for us :beer:

[justbob]

Plenty of parking? Never been there. If its bad out i'll bring the other cool car i got. The mighty escort with the custom dash mounted oscillating fan and the soup can cup holders crazy glued down and no i will not give thrill rides or trade it.

[TAKEDOWN]

That's a working mule car, and it does it's job! You should see the one my partner and I drive to work.

[Zack]

I dont agree with the location of this meet (due to its lack of promoting guys being loud and obnoxious) but I will make the best of it :up:

Buds (the huge sports bar with pool tables, arcade and good food) is just across the street :D

[sanco]

lol good well at least you guys are planing on being there :D so far so good, but hey you never know with these things till the last second when everyone's dog gets sick, cars get stuck, bla bla bla

as for the location, well gotta be able to host any age groups sooooo yea that is what came up. i have never been there either but from google street view it seems there is a lot of parking there

[Mest30]

I'm down if it ain't salty out. :up:

It's 2 miles from your house. Walk or take one of the other 4 panthers in your driveway! BTW, I drove by your house last Sat. Those rims look nice.

[MarauderBoy]

I'm in - looking forward to it

[UncleLar]

You mean your trusty steed "Silver"? If so I've seen it and no offense but my Tootsie Roll is in better shape.

[TAKEDOWN]

You mean your trusty steed "Silver"? If so I've seen it and no offense but my Tootsie Roll is in better shape.

Oh the "SILVER BULLET" aka FELONIA, but yours is definitely nicer UncleLar. I actually was talking about my partner's hooptie, a maroon 80's Chevy Beretta, the one we played a prank on and zip tied on each tire 14" inch plastic hup cap spinners on it. His facial expression was a classic, I'd pay to see that face again. BTW I'll be goin on days soon, and I'll follow up on those parts.

[UncleLar]

Thanks Drew.That darn whammy bar is STILL on order.I'm going to have to dig around some and see if I can find one somewhere else,I hate disappointing a kid.

[TAKEDOWN]

You get it when you get it no hurries UncleLar.

[SC Cheesehead]

[TAKEDOWN]

Oh oH! We got another one... first to post in response and wants to be first to bite! :shake:

[justbob]

Sanco and i were speaking of dec 2 and 3

[justbob]

No sorrows brother. Go if you can i'm gonna try but i got night school and work to contend with.

[sanco]

Zack aint that bad at all. Nice guy.

[Zack]

Im gonna try my hardest to do Dec 2nd and 3rd, but the 3rd is a 100% definite.

[SC Cheesehead]

Oh yeah, you're invited, but keep in mind, you'll have to put up with Zack.:lol:

Zack aint that bad at all. Nice guy.

Uhhhhh, my feeble attempt at humor. Zack's a good friend of mine (not to mention another founding member of the MM Blues Brothers.)

[SC Cheesehead]

Im gonna try my hardest to do Dec 2nd and 3rd, but the 3rd is a 100% definite.

So, maybe I'd better plan on getting me a rental car????

[sanco]

ok so exactly a week, hopefully i didn't loose any of you guys lol

[UncleLar]

It's looking like I may not make it.My son is probably coming to town to buy a car and I'll most likely drive him down to Indy to help him check it out and pick it up.But getting to spend some extra time with my son is well worth any effort.I'll know more if I can make it or not in the next couple of days.

[justbob]

Still planing on it.

[sanco]

that sucks larry, hopefully you guys can at least stop by and say hi for 5 mins, but hey family comes first so if not there will be plenty of meets to come :D

[TAKEDOWN]

I will be there!

[justbob]

:eek:No way, your gonna make it? J/K I'm trying to get a local guy to me to come also.

[TAKEDOWN]

[TAKEDOWN]

Looks like a decent turnout.

[UncleLar]

The dealer sold the Focus SVT out from under my son after promising it to him and my son booking a non refundable ticket from CA to Chicago :mad2:. So,we won't be going to Muncie to pick up the car and you guys will be stuck with me and the Tootsie Roll tomorrow.

[Motorhead350]

Ah crap the mini amp if Larry's is in the trunk of the Marauder that isn't in my position right now. :o Please forgive me.

[UncleLar]

No problem Dom,i ain't gonna lose any sleep about it. heck,I'm still trying to get the right whammy bar for takedown.

[sanco]

ok guys called Gino's and they are cool with us using their parking lot and i won't have to make any reservations, just go ahead and come inside whenever we are ready. looks like we are going to have a little rain but hey i dont think that should stop anyone.

on CVN so far nobody cancled, however theres allways a couple on the day of but either way seems like its fixing to be a good turnout. hopefully some of you marauder pretty boys won't mind a few raindrops on your cars :D

o and larry, sorry to hear about the focus, however good to hear you will join us there

[Motorhead350]

I will be in the K5.

[TAKEDOWN]

I will be in a truck too!

[justbob]

I'll be in a MARAUDERrepresenting.

Don't even think about bringing a GM to a Ford/Merc meet Drew! Dom's got an excuse, you don't!:D Actually i'm not smilling.:P

[Motorhead350]

Bob why are we always up at these hours?

[justbob]

:eek:Holy crap i haven't been paying attention to the time! Plus i just got back an hour ago from the movies.

[UncleLar]

Non Fords? You gotta be kidding me.Don't make me call my buddy mrrottndog up over at Ford Truck World and have him get his old Blowzilla Blown V-10 Excursion monster truck out there to do some car crushing!
Back when I was a wannbe attending Chicken Meets at least I showed up in my Cougar or Expedition or on a Harley. Oh man,the voices are telling me to do bad things and my meds ain't helping...............

[justbob]

UncleLar, your a trip as usual.:bows:

[TAKEDOWN]

UncleLar, your a trip as usual.:bows:

STOP... condoning him Bob!

[bugsys03]

Takedown--have you installed your new bling?

[TAKEDOWN]

Takedown--have you installed your new bling?

No Sir, not yet. I'm kinda curious about the red lettering I mentioned to you. I'm gonna ask JustBob if he'll do his magic and paint them for me. I'm glad you mentioned this, now my goal is not to forget when I arrive. THEY'RE GONNA LOOK SOOO BAD ASS! Are you stopping by? If not I'll tell Zack you said Hi! BTW... nice meeting you and don't be a stranger.
:beer:

[sanco]

ok sweet just checking here to see the mood so far and it looks like its still a go for most of you.

looking forward to meeting all of you and ill see you in a couple of hours or so!

[UncleLar]

I'm out the door here in 5 minutes or so,a guy just called me interested in buying one of my guitars and he lives in Tinley Park so I'm waiting a few minutes to see if he wants me to bring it with and save him a trip.

[Bradley G]

[knine]

Big turnout. Big dinner bill. About 35 or so people.

[sanco]

ok well i just got back, hopefully everyone got home safe. i want to thank all that showed up, it was a little cold but we did not get rained out. pizza was good and i am very happy to have met all that showed up. there were some new faces and old and it was a great time all in all. we had about 16-17 cars and pics will be up soon. also sorry for all those that couldnt make it, hopefully we will catch you guys next time.

i just have one request on behalf of the members on MM.net and CVN, please do not post any pictures where the liscence plates are visible, of if you will please blur them out on all cars. i would love to have pics posted here as well as many other members however if you will post them if you could just do that.

I was around for a while, but I had band practice to attend and wow it was really good. The food, my bands practice, the jokes... ok some were... what the heck they all had humor! What a great day and I filled my Blazer for $40! Good seeing everyone again. UncleLar you should have stayed! People owed us remember? Oh well. Bob, Andrew, Zack and everyone else it's always a blast. See you all later.

BTW I thought it was funny Ryan and I both ran to our vehicles when we saw the police officer to make sure we didn't get tickets!

[Mest30]
