Chicago Roll Call!
Looks like were getting a lot of Chicago peeps on here.
Let's all be FRIEEEENNDS!! :ky: Need a winter meet soon.:cool: |
I'm down. When and where? :cool:
|
I can't til around April coz the car is out of commish due to insurance on pause (i dont drive it in the winter) and a busted radiator.
My bad, y'all. |
A winter meet could be fun. Find an empty snowy parking lot and CrAzYnEsS ensues! :ohnoes:
|
LOL You don't need to bring you're miata I guess... I'm ready for snow fun.

https://www.miataforumz.com/attachme...ine=1325650000 I can't help it, that just needs to be shared on the internets. |
I guess I'm down. lol. It would be nice to meet everyone.
|
I'm in. Just moved last month from Downtown to the North Burbs. Trying to get my garage all in order to start working on mine this winter.
|
where exactly? I'm in Gurnee :)
|
Just moved to the Subdivision behind Lowes off of Grand. BTW, walking distance to Lowes is pretty handy!

I am with-in 2 miles of an Ace hardware though, so I guess I can't complain. |
So you are on the east side of Gurnee?

LOL, mistook you for Schadenfreude
|
Dude, I think we live in the same subdivision. I'm on Scarborough. Literally right behind Lowes.
|
this is awesome guys! My best friend actually lives in one of those town houses in front of Lowes.. he drives a dark green turbo DSM lol. It would be cool if we could meet at Lowe's with Mazduh one of these days hahah
(I live by the Oberweis in front of Great America) |
Love Oberweis! Wife and I are addicted. I live off of Vineyard. I actually had mine out to warm her up before Christmas and needed to run to Lowes. It was 25 out and I had the top down. I got some stares in the parking lot. I also learned why R1Rs are called summer tires. I was kicking out the rear all over the place, it was fun.
Diesel, does that mean if I screw up something on my car, I can push it over to your garage? :) |
Yes. My garage is set up pretty well for Miata's. I do ALL of my own car work.
|
I gotta see your garage for ideas. I've been thinking what I want to do with mine. I just insulated the door and am planning to running a new Sub panel and then 220 for a heater and A/C. I also have a dream to get a 4 post lift someday.
I try to do all my own car work, but I'm pretty amateur. I still don't have all the tools I need. Last year, i took the car back to the farm in Indiana for the winter to do all my work. |
I just taught myself everything. I was an engineer in the Navy for 12 years, and the principles of machinery never change be it ship, car, or house. It's just a machine. Take it apart, clean it, paint it, put it back together. There's no better way to learn how it works.
|
Agreed, same here. It's just I usually take it apart and have to reassemble it two or three times before I get it right.
|
What is going on, is it really January? I was about to get my Miata up on jacks for the winter, bu forget that. I'm going outside to play.
|
I was just out all last night in the city with the top down. There were quite a few cars out at the Dominicks off Roosevelt and at Whole foods. We all then went to lower wacker. Though, my buddy blew up his srt4 last night. Shot 2 rods through the block.
Also happened to see a lambo flying down lakeshore. Sounded awesome. And a what looked like a Ferrari 360 getting on I94. |
I just moved from that area up to the North Burbs. I lived in the South Loop by Soldier Field. I'm so glad I don't have to go shop at that Domonics or Walgreens on Roosevelt anymore. Here, I have no worries that my wife will get mugged buying milk.
I'll miss the ride up to X-Sport along Michigan during the summer though. I have to say, the park is very beautiful in the summer and so is the gym if you know what I mean. The problem with LSD is it's all beat to hell. Late at night it's dead and you can cruise it, but it's just in such poor condition. Sucks to hear about your buddies SRT4. I take it he was running a lot more the stock boost? My cousin has one and I finally got the weenie to take it to the track last summer. They are fast cars and aren't too bad in the turns. |
Took the Miata out to go explore my new neighborhood. Checked out Lindenhurst, Antioc, Villa Park, and several other areas I have no clue about their names. Saw quite a few guys out for one last drive before the snow hits including a red miata with a wing that some 747 driver is probably pissed he stole.
After the drive I spent the afternoon replacing the turbo hoses on my friends Golf 1.8T. That was a pain in the ass and ate up the rest of my daylight. Tomorrow, I begin working on my own car! |
Ah, I was wondering where the regional section is :wavey:
|
Heard about a Mazda Meet going on this month. Why they'd do it on a January I have no idea. -__-" Hate the salt/snow. Rust is baaaaaaaaaad.
|
Maybe meet and show photos of our maitas. Mine is up on jack stands anyway
