I was there today for a Sonic lunch but not Monday......

Westpost is too far south my travel routes are north in Marion mainly down 151 to and from Montecello. Sometimes I catch a Red LS going the same way and I'll partake in some douchebaggery, ya know match speed for awhile then just before my exit let the supercharger scream a little...

Hey! Just recently traded in my 06 Jeep SRT-8 for a 05 Cobalt SS. I'm in Davenport, Iowa and looking to see if anyone wants to get a meet in before the end of the season? Or maybe plan a trip to Cordova for a Midnight Mayhem? Let me know if anyone is interested!!

Thanks,
Ryan

I went to this one shop that refered me to a place that does rim work. Repair, paint.... not sure if they do chrome. I'll have to look for their business card......

Not sure what I want to do next with the car......

The word is it'll be a nice weekend, perfect weather for Drag Racing. Earlville will be having their Street Legal drags Sunday Oct 10th.. Gates open at 8am..... It'd be nice not to be the only Cobalt there.....
