Ok list of those saying they are attending (probably)
Jason
Heather
Jeff
Nick
Tom
Steve
Terec
Terry

Melissa is possible also

Anyone heard from Terric lately?
Not sure about the rest of the Chicago crew....yet.

[MetallicaCougs]

If I come, can I take the couch?

[sonza68]

bring a suit.
OK, but do we have to wear the coats the whole time?

[kougar4]

Sounds good! I am in.

[Moraki]

Sure Mary ... theres even a fold out in the front room that no one used last year.

[Moraki]

OK, but do we have to wear the coats the whole time?

Yes Tom you do... this is a white tie affair .... im beyond black tie now.

[MetallicaCougs]

eek, I just realized Oct 1st is our anniversary. I don't know if I could get away with going to a cougar meet then. :(

[jaged]

:rofl: thats funny stuff right there mary.

i should be able to make it

[HugNSmile1]

I will be there and put a post in IL NECO's boards

[whiteboy477]

Ill up for it.

[Moraki]

edit bump.

[sonza68]

I'm not coming because I hate Doug.

Just kidding, I'm in.

[jaged]

next time i talk to terrec ill mention it to him

[Phantom]

aw frick. guess what?

Wife has me booked. I was just assuming I was going, and someone else asked us me to do something that weekend, and I was like "can't, going to be in St. Louis for a Cougar thing" and Jen immediately was "You're going where?! We've got tickets to Zannies that night." dammit!

And... because I know she occasionally pokes around in Gateway too... Hi Jen! :cover:

[Moraki]

Aww poor Reagan .... you suck though.

[Terec]

hi, sounds fun, hopefully i can remember it

[Moraki]

KK ill add you to the list ... you better come!!

[Terec]

someone just needs to remind me about it when it gets close to that time :P

[sonza68]

I'll try to remember. :tongue:

[slurpee]

now we need to get some chickies in the hot tub.

[MaverickFlyer]

now we need to get some chickies in the hot tub.

Chicken soup! :rofl:

[Moraki]

You work on that Steve ;)

Maybe ill print up some flyers and spread them out on the 5 cougars driven by women at Lindenwood.

[whiteboy477]

Let me get some of the flyers there a few girls at meremac that drive cougars.


By the way while we are all there we need to get some pics of all the cards that way we can make some business cards or small flyers to give out to fellow cougar owners on the road...

[whiteboy477]

nikka said she would try and make it

[Moraki]

So what do you guys want to do... Steve wants to show up early and work on his half shaft. So we might get that done before eveyrone else shows up. We could run off to cave springs for that thing happening at Hooters... if you guys want to go and try and get a bite there and hang out. Or we can just hang out and i can BBQ....

Any thoughts or suggestions?

[bensenvill]

I see many words but no reference to drinking?? very confused.


anyways, I need to pester some of the IL peeps to see if I can hitch a ride with someone, if I can, You can add my name to the VIP list.

[sonza68]

I think drinking is just assumed. It would be like saying people will be breathing.

[Moraki]

Ya well this is not a drinking event .... i mean i took forever to even start drinking last year.

[bensenvill]

your right, its a competition.... its the octoberfest way.

[Moraki]

That was sarcasm .... i had a long neck half empty when the caravan drove up the drive.

[jaged]

i picked up some 151 proof rum at the duty free that we could try and tackle. I wont have any mods to do so its not an issue for me. Hooters sounds good though. Id love to check out that focus.

someone make sure to tell 2kBlackCatGurl about this one

[Moraki]

Sent her a PM a month ago ... ill send her another reminder soon... shes on the probably list.

What about a strut bar install? ;)

[sonza68]

As long as it isn't an ST200, those are real quick.

[Moraki]

err meant rear strut bar ... if Jason has the time to make one ill buy it and throw it in the back of mine... .want to stiffen it up and eliminate some squeaks. But ya it should go fast.

[jaged]

well your in luck, i have 4 of them sitting in my garage. just need to paint one up

and thats totally doable, doesnt take that long. i might have someone take pics for an install how to since i didnt get a chance to do that at fest

[slurpee]

well, I just ordered the half shaft, it should be in on next thursday, so, I'll be there early in the morning to start tearing it apart.

[bensenvill]

i picked up some 151 proof rum at the duty free that we could try and tackle.

keep that bottle away from steve

[BigBalledOX]

keep that bottle away from steve

Ooooh! BBBUUUUURRRRRNNNNN!!!!! :cover:

[bensenvill]

we may need to limit him to 40 proof and lower. you know the apple pucker and tequila rose girly stuff.

[Moraki]

Ya i better add a fresh fire exstinguisher to the shopping list.

[Moraki]

Info removed.

[Terec]

i'm personally in boycott of the carting place cause they cost too much for what it is

[Moraki]

Agreed its not my thing to blow 25 bucks for your 1st run. But if its a group like we did in CougarFest... albeit a 1/10 the size... i would do it.

[jaged]

i think last year i met you guys at exit 280 on I-57 that sounds like a plan again since its not out of the way for either of us really

[Terec]

well its like 15 bucks for a daily liscence plus 25 bucks a race, so you'd be looking at 40 dollars for 1 race, 65 for 2, and 90 for 3, each race lasts ~12 minutes i think

[Moraki]

I was tempted to go friday ... the owner was on the point talking... and he said for point listeners he would give away a free run... still had to pay the 14 bucks he said. But you got a free race.

[Edison]

I think I'll go too... (may I?:tongue: ) Im at columbia right now and I will drive back to chicago at 30th around midnight, so I think I will stop by for party :biggrin:

[BigBalledOX]

I think I'll go too... (may I?:tongue: ) Im at columbia right now and I will drive back to chicago at 30th around midnight, so I think I will stop by for party :biggrin:

Uh . . . you do DO realize this is in STL right?

[Edison]

what is STL?

[Sham]

haha

[bensenvill]

what is STL?

Nelly-land

[Moraki]

St Louis.... you know that place 5 hours south south-west of chicago.

[Edison]

it like hour and half from columbia right? take i70....

[Moraki]

Columbia Missouri yes... very easy to come to from mizzou.. Mellisa might be coming from there too.

[whiteboy477]

you can easily make that drive in an hour if you drive about 80 -100 the whole time

[nikka]

what is this??

[Moraki]

This is what we were talking about in your little thread :)

[nikka]

hahaha oOoOo so there are more people coming from Mizzou then?!

[Edison]

me

[nikka]

Hey that's cool!

[Edison]

Ha, but I have to leave early back to chicago...

[nikka]

oOoOo I'm sowry!

[slurpee]

for those who know me....ddddaaaammmmnnnn.

[Moraki]

Down boy...


And Melissa attends Mizzou law now... working on her masters i believe. She said she would attend ... and i sent her a PM reminder... we will see if she can still make it.

[slurpee]

i'm just saying :bowdown:

[Terec]

DOH, i didnt realize this was this weekend and here i was agreeing to house sit, so i may have to disappear for a while to check on the place then come back

[sonza68]

That wouldn't be too different from last year and disappering to pick up the MR2.

[Terec]

no picking up the MR2 this year, its broken still :(

[sonza68]

Broken how? I'd probably know if I showed up to autox events this year, but between being out of town and a string of minor Cougar problems I haven't been able to make it out.

[Terec]

I blew up the motor at the PDX in may

[Moraki]

Bump

[Terec]

bump, we dont need no stinking bumps

[Moraki]

I like bumps... bumping is fun...

[slurpee]

well no halfshaft for me...the f tards at f zone screwed me up my a$$ AGAIN!!!

[sonza68]

I've got a few minor things I want to take care of (minor brake issues and front sway bar end link). What is a good time to show up?

[jaged]

i may be driving down myself, just waiting on badazz, so im gonna leave at early, hope to get there noonish

and i dont really have anythign to do, i have a trans temp guage sensor to hook up, but i havent figured out howi want to do it yet

[Terec]

blingingly of course

[Moraki]

When ever you want ... cleaned the garage enough to get one car in there with pleanty of room.... in case it rains. Just tell me when you plan on showing up.... ?? im lazy i dont get up on week days till 8... but i can get up earlier if you guys want.

[sonza68]

I'm not that crazy, but if Jason is coming down early, I was thinking about getting to your place at around 10:30-11.

[jaged]

well if im comingg all that way no sense in getting there late

[Moraki]

K works for me.

[sonza68]

I don't blame you, but if others were coming down with you it probably would have pushed your arrival back a couple hours.

[jaged]

so i just map quested the drive for the hell of it and it told me to go into chicago on 80 to get to 55 :crazy:

[BigBalledOX]

Its probably faster that way.

[jaged]

doesnt make any sennse though, drive north for a half hour to to south...

i think im gonna go south on 65 and take 24 west to 55 south

[jaged]

im packing up the car and heading out the door, see you in a couple hrs

[jaged]

just got home, had an interesting ride home, but ill have to tell it later, gotta jump in the shower and go to a bday party

[Phantom]

Got the message about Edison from Jason when I got home today. Did he ever show up?

I didn't have his # anyway. :(

[sonza68]

WE didn't see him, but we didn't stay at Doug's the entire time, so it is possible he stopped by and we weren't there at the time.

[Terec]

dmanit steve, you got me jinxed, i got a check engline light this afternoon

[Moraki]

Well i posted my phone number in this thread... if he was coming i hope he took it with him.... and i didnt recieve any calls ...

[Frosty]

How did everything go?

[bensenvill]

Well i posted my phone number in this thread... if he was coming i hope he took it with him.... and i didnt recieve any calls ...

so the normal:evil:

[Moraki]

Meant from him ... actually the guys were giving me **** because i was spending way too much time on the phone... sorry to disapoint you Terry.

[Terec]

yeah, doug got a voicemail from someone informing them that there was a cougar meet going on and he should come, it was real close to where he's at, his back patio :tongue:

[Moraki]

Heh ya and when i came back i did so with the phone on my ear... She thought you guys were fun though, and liked listening in.

[Phantom]

so it sounds like no one caught themselves on fire this time around, right?

[sonza68]

Nope. We just melted a bunch of bottles in the fire.

[jaged]

So on the way back im driving along and see the sign for chicago, thinking its for 57, well it was for 55. Prolly a better choice at that point because its goes north faster, and the sun was just cresting. And aparrently its only a 2 mile difference, but anyway. Theres noone on the road so im cruising at 85 mph w/a SUV following me. Cars comes flying up and walks right by me, the SUV pulls out and follows him. I speed up just to pace them, dont wanna catch up so im running 100 mph for about 15 min. Some old guy pulls out in front of me to pass a car so i have to slow down, no biggie. Im trucking along I-55 and a motorcycle cop has someone pulled over southbound. Hes walking to the car he has pulled over, stops and follows me with his head as i drive by, oh isht, but he kept going to the car. As i get up the next 5 or so miles to get on I-72 guess whos pulled over by 2 motorcycle cops, the people who i was pacing at 100mph :biggrin: I laugh as i get on the hwy.

then i stopped at a gas station near where i used to live in lafayette. theres no turn lane there so im driving along and push on the breaks and turn, and mind you its me so its a fast turn. This asshat behind me locks up his breaks and lays on the horn. I wasnt paying attention to how close he was to me, but the light that we were approaching was red so i dont know what the hell he was doing

All and all this weekend i watched FnF3, south park season 8, the bloopers and deleted scenes from chapelle show, and 3 episodes of top gear
