I know it's off topic, but I see you love wagons, let me know when it comes time to sell the E. I want one in a bad way, and don't need a phone, or nav. I know where I'm going. I can't wait to see it. Nick

My woman wants me to get an SUV next, but I am addicted to power, and I feel a 55 wagon would be the best of both worlds. I told her she can get her Maserati Gransport if I get the ******* vaggon.
And it's not cheating if she can't catch you!!!!

Anybody else interested? Marcus, what places did you have in mind for downtown? I was going to put route maps together for everyone if we get separated, plus, I was thinking of going ahead of you guys to get a good flyby shot on 294 (maybe 5 wide?). What do you think?

So far a great turn out, let's keep it going!
As for route planning, I was thinking today about a few possibilties....Let me know what you think. I was thinking that we leave from Starbucks, take 90 to 294, head north, past Lake-Cook to Half Day Rd. From there, we switch back on 294 south to J.Alexanders. We enjoy a great meal, and get back on 294. Head north to Half Day Rd. go east, and turn south on Sheridan Rd. Take a nice twisty drive down to Lake Shore, turning on Irving Park, and heading to Sheffield. Turn on Addison to the McDonalds by Wrigley Field. I figured Wrigley would be a cool spot to take some pictures by. What do you think? I also thought about stopping in Glenview at The Glen, as there are some cool spots there for pictures. Up for any comments.

Weather looks good for 23rd. Hopefully, it will stay that way..... Took the car out today (warm weather) for the first time in awhile, and manage to scratch my passenger rear lip on my iforged. I need to get it refinished. Anyone know of a good place to get them powercoated?!

Ok guys, I called J.Alexanders in Northbrook, and have planned to cruise to the restaurant, then cruising to Sheridan Rd. We will ride to Wrigley Field to the McDonalds, and then we can head out from there. I will have route maps to hand out at Starbucks in Streets of Woodfield. Any questions or comments, let me know. Can't wait to meet up with everyone!
