Do it! These meets just keep getting bigger and better. They're always a lot of fun. I'm already excited to hear what stories Chris will tell next, to ferry people across creeks, lose my sandals, and generally have a great time.

It's time to get this ball rolling! Let's get a date set and get this planned out now so everyone can be in attendance! We're gonna need anal lube, teepees, zip ties, story time, quarters, and dry crumbly cookies. Need a reminder?

Attendance is mandatory or ban.

So that's why you were so smart....

It'll be a fine line as to whether or not I'm on stock suspension. They should be shipping sometime in the next 1-2 weeks. I can just throw them on, align it, and go with that but I'd like to do the bushings since I have seized bolts for rear toe adjustment..and camber/toe go together so...yea I do have to do the bushings whether I like it or not. Those could be a bitch.

It took me awhile to figure it out but then I lol'd.
Pfft. Towing the Celica is overrated. We just put ~2,300 miles on ours in 4 days. No need for a tow!

Are you going to participate in the after-meet cruise into Chicago for some dinner? If so, the meet is roughly an hour from Chicago, so you might be able to find a cheaper hotel closer to the city.

Only about a month away guys! Should be a blast. I will be keeping the Celica... I get about 33 MPG, so I can't complain too much. My front lip got destroyed, so I won't be rocking that. Oh well, it's more practical now.

2000 GT-S 6 SPD...SOLD!
Can someone message me with more details on what town and everything the meet is in. I need to start making plans of where we are going to stay and all that please
Nearest town is Utica IL, Starved Rock has a hotel and lodge right there, but I'm not sure how expensive it is...but it does have a pool.

Yep that's why we are going to find a way with no toll roads. That's just a stupid way to spend your money

the I-80/90 toll road in ohio is worth it because they have faster speed limits than anywhere in ohio. US 20 runs parallel to I-80/90

(Sammi here)
As someone who used to travel from east of Cleveland(Macedonia/Twinsburg) to basically Rockford, 80/90 was the only way to go...traffic is only bad in the city and at the Indiana toll booths. The rest of the drive saves you tons of time from finding an alternative route. The tolls do suck though.
Our gps said it actually saves us like 5-10 minutes going around thetoll roads
Plus we have all day Friday to get there
