Hello Everyone

[Lefty061182]

Hey guys,
Just saying whats up and introducing myself. I have been in the NJ Chapter for about 2 years. I posted a month or 2 ago about me heading to IL after college (Rutgers in NJ). My parents moved here when I graduated high school, so only visited twice in the past 4 years for about a week. Definitely a newbie to the area and have to find my way around to good body shops, audio stores, etc...
It was the longest drive ever from NJ. We left at 10:30pm, checked into a hotel about 5:30am for a quick nap, then was back on the road at 10am. We got here about 3:30. It was basically 80W all the way here then 294 to 55 I think.
The cougar did really well espicially keeping up with my dad's 4Runner at 90mph mostly all the way. Looking forward to meeting the chapter.

Welcome to IL, Ron! Where about in Chicago-land are you?

Thanxs for the welcome. I am in Woodridge. My dad says we are around Darien, Naperville, Downer's Grove and Bowling Brook.

Looks like you've got a few members pretty close to you. Welcome to Chicagoland.

that's right, I forgot. I used to live in Woodridge, near the north-west corner of 75th and Janes (behind the Sandpiper). My parents still do, so I am in that area pretty often. I'm usually over at least every Wednesday to hang out with my brother, so keep an eye out for a black cougar with a silver streak on the Kaminari hood, though I'm often incognito in my Probe.

Keep an eye out for on here for meets... I'm hoping to get on it for sometime soon, though I have no idea when yet.

welcome!!!!

Thanxs for the welcome. I live right off 75th, down Woodridge Drive and a White Hen Store. (I was laughing when my mom stopped by that store this morning. The name is really funny. I thought NJ had some weird named stores.)
I took my cougar out for a drive this afternoon-early evening. I have never seen so many modded cars in NJ in one day as I have today. I was pretty psyched.
I will definitely look out for your cougar also Phantom. I would like to see it some time. I will try to scan some pics of my car and post them up soon. Nothing major besides the usual.

I'm actually Plainfield/Joliet. Getting to Bollingbrook is about 10minutes from me. I'm the white cougar with black and red swirlies all over it.
