Midwest madness from Turbobricks was pretty rad. But zero Illinois people showed up... as is par for course. I doubt they'd even show if it was in Illinois.
I'd be up for it, but my work schedule is certainly unpredictable. No RSVP, but a maybe.
ALSO. I currently possess Matt Dione's Memorial Journal.

Hey if we are going to do Rockford we may as well do Chicago. Only a couple miles away and for some people it may be nice to turn it into a vaction. I plan to bring a couple friends.
I've never been to a meet. What are they like? Am I going to feel completely out of place considering I am noob?

I've never been to one either. Basically just an afternoon of volvo enthusiasts and grilling out. I'm kind of a noob too, so don't worry about it.
Maybe we can do the meet on saturday, and then see if some people want to go to chicago after the meet or something? I just think it would be easier for everyone to meet at the park.

ever drive through chitown? if so, no picture that with 20-30 volvo's with half the people not knowing where they are going.... on a busy saturday.... that is why we are doing it in rockford, but i am not apposed to taking a drive through chitown maybe.
a meet is basicly just a bunch of people getting together to hang out, maybe some volvo talk, and a meet and greet. grill out in the park, maybe some yard games (minimal drinking, after all its a car meet). then afterwards some may camp, drive home, or catch a hotel.

if people want to camp, or get a hotel I would be game for that. But yeah, that's what I was thinking with having it not be in chicago, is a bunch of people that haven't driven there, especially with crew of cars, would make it even harder. I have some yard games I could bring. And I can bring some food and stuff too. I think everyone should be in charge of bringing something. But it would be nice to have something for people who are for sure going to RSVP to so we have an idea of how many people and whom.

Do you guys go out driving? I think it would be cool if we got like 30 volvos lined up cruising through Chi city or like a flying "V" (for volvo) formation on the highway. LOL
One thing cool my friends and I did... We got 4 of us on a 4 lane highway all lined up and dropped our speed to 40 mph (a perfect rolling start speed for my car but don't tell them that). Then we took each other on for about a mile. I won
It was my 850, 2002 Toyota Camry V6, 2005 Dodge Neon, 1999 Honda Prelude. We were all stock.
The order was
1 Me
2 Prelude
3 Camry
4 Neon

Also, I would totally be down to camp. I have a couple of extra tents if anyone is interested, but those of us with wagons don't need no stinking tents ... well I might but thats because I'm 6'6" and I have to lay diagonal in my wagon to fit so we will see
