We should do a weekend meetup for lunch somewhere, I know a few places that have plenty of parking and are easy to get to no matter where to live in the area.

Cubs fan here
Hey guys,

Hope I'm not the only girl on this forum from Chicago. Anyways I definitely think that we should have a meet. I am sick and tired of going to my boyfriend's Infiniti G35 car meets. His Infiniti does not even compare to my Black 2005 C230 Kompressor. Maybe we could crash one of the Infiniti G35 meets. We are totally better then them.

Anybody up for it.

Seems like everyone likes to meet in the Schaumburg area, but I'm open to meeting anywhere...

My Black 230 is an automatic but I have been driving it in the maunal option lately. I totally think that we should meet in Schaumburg. I know that the Chicagoz.com forum is having a meet on Aug. 28th. maybe we could crash their party. Would love to see your car?
