yea, that's the thing, there's not many cobalts around this area. SRT-4's either. at least not that i see driving around. definitely not much going on around here. just the typical honda's and such that have a loud exhaust and that's about it.

Cobalt TSX, close to freeport huh? well if i can find more people around here i'd like to get a gathering around this area. if not, i'll have to travel out to the suburbs.

Belvidere to visit my parents on the weekend other than that I live on the South Side. I know of a few cobalts in the Rockford area people usually chill at the pep boys on fridays and saturdays but last weekend the cops came and kicked us all out so now I think they go to the slumberland behind the Hooters and they go to beef-a-roo on sundays.

hmm, It is possible. I've been out here for 10 years now. I lived in Sycamore last year, used to take Peace home to the parents every couple of weeks. Where is Sunset with regards to the Farm & Fleet?

after mapquesting, I can't say I know who lives there, but that doesn't mean I don't know someone that does lives there. (I just might not know where said person lives)

by the way, I'm old, so I likely don't know any HS kids that live in the area. I've only been out here since I went to NIU.

Its down peace road, passed 23, then theres another road ( i forget what its called) then theres brickville... i think brickville is the last road you can turn right or left on before you get to 64

Autobahn August 18th was near perfect, barring a few offs. We had a full house for a gorgeous day. Let's hope September 13th & 14th at Blackhawk Farms is the same.

Spots are still available for our Blackhawk Farms weekend. Please visit us at www.MVPTrackTime.com for details or to register.

Happy Motoring and I'll see you at the track!

i could probably get together somewhere. Usually i go to hooters car show and then beef a roo, but since i dont have my firebird anymore hooters wont let the race saturn in.

CobaltTSX
09-11-2008, 02:27 AM
I'm down for the Beef A Roo I'll probably just head up there a little early and skip out on Hooters so I can actually get a parking spot. Just found out my cousin moved up to Rockford so it gives me another reason to stay in town longer.

is beef a roo some restaurent people go to hang out at with cobalts and other nice cars?

beef a roo is a place we all hang out at on sunday nights, it used to be mostly muscle cars but now its turned more into imports and very few muscle cars left. lots of SRT4's and STi's up there. few GTPs and one or 2 f-bodies

Premier
09-11-2008, 10:30 AM
what sounds like a good time to go up there? 7:00-7:30? let me know. i haven't been up there in forever, just drove by but wasn't too busy this past sunday around that time.

I'm wanting to see one of the new SS/TC's so I'm glad your coming out premier. I want to see how its all put together to see if I could use pieces from one to do my turbo build. I don't get out much either. My car is not much to show off YET.

Premier

the one on East Riverside Blvd. If you're coming from 90 just get off at that Exit and head west. which if you're coming from chicagoland area it would be a left.

Im like an hour and a half away from there

definitely try and make it out.
