Our town seems to be quite rich in the number and diversity of cool vehicles on our streets and in out garages. I've been wondering if folk thought there might be any interest among GE residents in getting together to show off our cars? My personal tastes run towards the older specimens, but I could imagine welcoming anyone who enjoyed their car, whatever its age and condition.

If we wanted to test the waters, maybe we could start off with a casual BYO picnic for a couple of hours somewhere, followed by a cruise around town. See if there is enough interest in doing it annually, possibly morphing it into something more.

We were driving back from Breckenridge on Sunday and there were numerous cars such as yours heading west back into Iowa . . . along with a few other cars made by the same company. Must have been a gathering in central Illinois somewhere off of I-80. Maybe we were on 88 . . . don't remember.

National convention in Cedar Rapids this week. Wish I were there.

There were caravans heading there from various locations. Cars from Chi were taking both 80 and 88. There was a big group driving from Indy.

There was a pretty big vintage car show at Oakbrook mall on Sunday. Thats probably where they were all leaving from.

Well I don't have any vehicles worth showing, but I LOVE looking at them! I would so go....maybe I could convince my buddy in Streamwood to show up with his mint-condition Studebaker....I LOVE that thing....

Wheaton has cruise nights every Friday, I think. As does Downers Grove.

GE Fan's favorite 'burb does Saturday nights.

We could do a vintage and muscle car boycott protest drive over the bridge into Lombard this Saturday. I would be willing to show off my '04 Kia Sorrento.

Cruise through town and head back over the bridge. Spend some money at the local GE establishments.

That's a friggin riot!

Hahahaha....Rob, you're awesome

I am in on that type of boycott. I have a '01 Mercedes that has been hit and run twice that everyone can laugh at to keep the boycott light.

I'm in if you all don't drive too fast. My current ride won't break 50 mph.

I have a Mustang -sort of a hotrod!

Hey Dins,

I'll participate. But as a grown man, I must admit that I am not too fond of picnicing with another grown man - it's just not my thing. Can we do Vittorio's or something? Maybe Tony could reserve a few spots in front. Just a thought.

Vitorio's followed by a spirited ride home in an old car. Sounds intriguing.

I gotta call BS on that, Bitter boy. It all depends what is being served.





And speaking of, when is the Pig Daddy Rib School event? Weekends are filling up on the Middlein calendar.

Yes indeed! Cheers!



Pick a date and I'll call the Pig.
