I was in the same towns in addition to Willow Spring, Lemont and the North side of Chicago in my Corvette today. I left the Corvette in the parking lot at work and walked home. The drive to the West suburbs will be fun tomorrow

First drive was yesterday!! Off for the air pollution test as my plates expire at the end of the month.
Failed the test. Something about not having enough mile to recalibrate the system. (I did have the battery disconnected for a while)
Looks like a few more miles and then my car becomes someone elses car next week.

Just don't forget that all your AR 15s were previously lost in a boating accident.

I know- how stupid. We are complaining about our rampid assault rifle problem but the streets, sewers and electrical grid is collapsing.
The Lake Forest gun club has offered to store any banned rifle for free until we can get back into the realm of common sense.

I assume in your ZR1? If yes, at a boy Bob, glad to see a little salt powder did not stop you.
If not the ZR1, then well, you know. Lol.
I know where your headed and I came real close to going to GATS at 1:30 pm today, but ended up a little closer to home at Article II in Lombard, as I had not been there to window shop in several months.

There you go Bob, there you go my friend!
Marengo Guns is the best, you go in there and can handle any weapon its like being in Arizona.
Nice pics. from the car show. Stopped by my first car show of the season at Larry Roesch Chrysler in Elmhurst. Finally got to see a Dodge Demon up close and personal, what a Beast!

Still going to be seeing lows in the 30's the next two weeks sporadically. That also needs to stop.

Went to the season opener @ Road America a few years ago & it was freezing early. I was the only car in Corvette Coral.
