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:

dieselmiata 01-03-2012 08:05 PM

I'm down. When and where? :cool:

Schadenfreude 01-03-2012 08:21 PM

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.

dieselmiata 01-03-2012 08:32 PM

A winter meet could be fun. Find an empty snowy parking lot and CrAzYnEsS ensues! :ohnoes:

Mazduh 01-03-2012 09:03 PM

LOL You don't need to bring you're miata I guess... I'm ready for snow fun.

I can't help it, that just needs to be shared on the internets.

Schadenfreude 01-03-2012 10:26 PM

I guess I'm down. lol. It would be nice to meet everyone.

flying_solo 01-05-2012 09:38 AM

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.

Schadenfreude 01-05-2012 09:54 AM

where exactly? I'm in Gurnee :)

flying_solo 01-05-2012 10:02 AM

Just moved to the Subdivision behind Lowes off of Grand. BTW, walking distance to Lowes is pretty handy!

Jealous!

I am with-in 2 miles of an Ace hardware though, so I guess I can't complain.

flying_solo 01-05-2012 10:07 AM

So you are on the east side of Gurnee?

I am not in North Carolina man, far from you Chicago folks. Although I have a friend who went to Northwestern.

flying_solo 01-05-2012 10:18 AM

LOL, mistook you for Schadenfreude

dieselmiata 01-05-2012 10:23 AM

Dude, I think we live in the same subdivision. I'm on Scarborough. Literally right behind Lowes.

Schadenfreude 01-05-2012 10:26 AM

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)

flying_solo 01-05-2012 10:41 AM

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? :)

dieselmiata 01-05-2012 10:44 AM

Yes. My garage is set up pretty well for Miata's. I do ALL of my own car work.

flying_solo 01-05-2012 10:53 AM

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.

dieselmiata 01-05-2012 11:02 AM

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.

flying_solo 01-05-2012 11:25 AM

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.

flying_solo 01-07-2012 12:17 PM

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.

Mazduh 01-07-2012 01:23 PM

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.

flying_solo 01-07-2012 05:36 PM

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.

flying_solo 01-07-2012 05:38 PM

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!

Slider 01-13-2012 03:31 PM

Ah, I was wondering where the regional section is :wavey:

Schadenfreude 01-13-2012 04:20 PM

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.

flying_solo 01-13-2012 04:53 PM

Maybe meet and show photos of our maitas. Mine is up on jack stands anyway

You should make an intro thread and tell us a little about yourself and your miata!
