Downers Grove has a cruise night every Friday night. They get a good number of cars there. Just giving some of you Windy City guys a heads up. I'll be there tonight.

haven't been there in a while but it is one of the better attended car shows around. Quite spread out but some great cars. Also plenty of mom&pop shops around as well

It's funny you say that. The MM felt out of place there, though there were a bunch of newer Challengers, n Mustangs. Honestly, there weren't to many people that even looked at it.:bigcry:

I don't think I could get my car ready in time, to make it to Pauls. Looked good for Lombard on Sat., but I drove it to work today, and there's a layer of dust over it. By the time I got there, there would be no place for me to park.

I went yesterday to Westchester as well. Got there about 8:00. Didn't see anybody either. Hung out and watched Elvis sing a couple toons and then left. Will probably head over to Downers Grove on Friday.

There's also a cruise night tonight at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, just down the street from Dukes. I'm checking that out tonight too.

I stood around for a few mins, but never saw anyone. As soon as I walked away, I turned around, and you were pulling away. I parked over by Paul's, and the Good Will. I'm not sure if I would have been able to back up, through that aisle, to park next to you, or whoevers MM that was.

I looked around too, didn't see any MMs, matter of fact my twilight blue 442 was a few cars away from the pace car behind this MM towards Paul's. I was at the end of that row. I was there for an hour or so and just drove by again at 9:30 to see if anyone was around. Plenty of cars still there but no MMs

Remember I said, I could if she'd let me, and then she came with? Well, she saw the Good Will, wanted to go, and didn't feel like walking. Hence the reason why I was parked over there. Then we got something from Paul's, to go! So, I was there for about an hour, and only looked at the cars for about ten, before she wanted to go.:wave: When you pulled away she said, alright, it's time to go. But, I love her:bigcry:
