Still on the 18th correct?

Yes sir!

[Bitter]

Just drove 90/94 to Depaul and back to drop off the girl, holy **** those elevated roadways are absolute hell in the Celica now. What an exhausting drive.

Make the cookie cake anyway, someone will come get it.

[bloodMoney]

Our plans aren't lining up, but if we can get a volunteer to drive Manda and Justin back home (lakefront), I can certainly get them out to the meet.

Alrighty guys, the list is growing. I have one more 7th gen that is for sure going, he's out of Chicago. There are four more 7th gen's that say that they will really try to come. If I had to say, I bet two of the four will actually show up. This is going to be one big meet. I know you guys like all the usual company, but this will be fun to see some new Toyota's and meet new people. All the 7th gen guys I've met are all nice and friendly. Has anyone drove through Starved rock lately?

Also, I'll bring some kind of sausage, what do you guys want? Brats, Polish, or Italian?

2. Daniel and Brigette - BBQ Burgers
3. Noberto and family
4. Zach - water and pop

7. Luke and Maggie

Justin already trashed the request off for that day, so he's def going to be at work. We're out for this one. Maybe next time we will have our own cars up here.

I totally would, but I don't know how comfortable they'd be in the back of a 7th gen for 2 hours with some hard ass coilovers.

[richee3]

We don't have a back seat or else we'd offer.

[Zake]

we may put it off until July when we go fix Fury and bring them both up here at the same time

glad to hear you will be able to get her back on the road soon, I know you've had to wait a long time.

ya, WAAAAAAAY too long of a wait. Ive finally figured out what engine I want in her and have figured out how to make it happen. So now I just have to wait for the money to come in at the end of the month

Hi Kids!!!


That annoying guy with the HillBillyTacoTruck will be present once again.
There ain't no sissy vegetarians between the ranks, right? I'll bring *some* skirt steak to grill & go nuts with.....some accompanying additives too....torilla's/grilled veg/sour cream etc with as well.
I'll out-fox y'alls again with my propane torch in case EVERYBODY FORGETS. Those grills are still there like last time, right? Prolly a good idea for me to bring some coal as well for extra grilling surface area in case we bring more food than grill.
Are we all good on drinks & sides?

Bonus Feature! The aforementioned HillBillyTacoTruck will be in it's first phase of it's boosted twin-screw supercharger epoch!
Double Bonus Feature! I'll be bringing along a genuine member of the Neanderthal species with as well! They just emerged from the caves and have just discovered the wonders that is a wheel!

[richee3]

Well this turnout looks promising. I wasn't planning on bringing THAT many burgers. Laziness may prevail and I'll buy some pre-made (not cheap) burgers just so I don't have to put forth any effort. I'm still trying to figure out how to fit a cooler in this:



Either way, I'm working Friday so I won't be home until 8:30, still have to do all of my shopping, get everything ready to go, and hit the road at 5 am. Gonna be short on sleep already, so I may just go with some store bought burgers (again, NOT the cheap frozen ones.)

[cheela]

what's the point of having a hatch if you can't use it? hahaha.

I got it. just enclose your trunk in fiberglass and then dump some ice in it and put all the food in there. DONE!

[richee3]

what's the point of having a hatch if you can't use it? hahaha.

It's for decoration. And so you have somewhere to stick a sub to replace the god-awful factory Bose sub. I'll figure something out, like a few small coolers. Or just buy the burgers when I get up there. Who is bringing the buns?

I can always bring some burgers too, like the ones that I brought to the last meet that you two conveniently missed.

13. Sean - Burger Buns
16. Rod - Sausage buns

Whaaaat! I would never miss a meet! The more burgers, the better. And I totally missed that they were bringing buns. That's what I get for speed reading.

[Zake]

Whaaaat! I would never miss a meet!

We're out for sure, regardless of the date. I have two vacation days left and I've just found out that I need them both for a family trip in November. So unless someone decides to have a mini-meet on a Sunday-Wednesday, Brigette and I won't be able to make it.

I demand many pictures from this meet! I will attend vicariously through this thread.
