Anyone drive on the base or towns around there.. belleville, Ofallon, fairview and what not? Been seeing a lot since i bought my SS back in sept. I know theres a black SS that drives on the base, red one works at the pharmacy. Seen a red SS, fresh with black rims and CSS.net sticker, and i believe CF trunk parked at some office buildings on greenmount road. Just curious anyways who else around the area.

 

damn where the f*** is this town in illinois

 

how far is that from chicago? any army mp's there?

 

About 5 hours. It's about 25 minutes from St. Louis, Mo.



Nice to have someone else around here. I live off Hartman Lane, and around Swansea a lot. Don't get over by the base all that much.

 

Im about an hour south of STL, never that far over, but at Pop's every now and then

 

Yeah I live in mascoutah, real close to the base but i know exactly where hartman lane is, thats tight man, altho I don't think I have seen your car yet.

I don't believe there are any army MP's at the base... all Air Force lol.

 

Probably not, but I'm sure you will eventually. I used to have black wheels and tail lights, you might have seen it then.

What do you drive?

 

06 black SS... i have gen 1 projectors, the whole thing debadged and i have SS on the front where the bowtie went... I also have the reverse lights smoked out, plan on doing the rest later on.

I know a few people with SS's. A tc SS live in belleville, thats my friend Ryan. Mostly stock just has gen 3 projectors with HID's... Friend aaron from highland drive a fresh red one with black rims, smoked out lights, and has a paint job, black goin down the middle of his car. He has the gtr style front lip you know. Its fresh.

BTW, did you happen to graduate from Belleville East?

 

Oh ok, I don't recall seeing yours, but I've seen a black tc with projectors a few times. I think he works at dobb's?

I did in fact graduate from east.

 

Sup fellas. I'm in Granite City and up that way occaisionally. I'm probably twice your age(s) so you may not see me at regular "hangouts" but who knows. Years ago I was a cement mason apprentice and worked on the commissary at Scott AFB. I'm still spitting concrete dust from grinding on the walls of that place,lol.
Several months ago I was westbound 64 near Greenmount Rd. and I see someone coming up on me pretty fast-he pulls along side, I look over and it's a !!! black Cobalt SS-gave him the . Don't know if it was a SC or TC or if he wanted to play; we both exited at 157 (I needed gas and thought he might want to compare notes or w/e) however he took off like his hair was on fire. Oh well.

POPS ftw.

Edit: (it was actually 159-Fairview Heights where we exited)

 

im from Belleville and am there just about every other weekend. 08 ss/tc here- every bolt on available, trifecta tuned 25 psi, and a turbo upgrade on the way.
PS. i graduated from Belleville West
PSS. if you are twice my age then you would be the coolest 50 year old guy ever

 

Psh West sucks lol. We need to get a meet together sometime then.

Oh and I do remember now seeing a red sc with black rims driving on Lebanon Ave and pull into DQ.

 

thesteed- Yea, ryan with turbo SS works at dobbs in greenmount. That red SS might have been aaron's lol. And thats pretty cool, I actually went to east when i was a freshman, for about half a year. I went back to mascoutah tho, and graduated 09.

FRQ FLYR- I actually currently work at the commissary. I been there since like Jan. 08. I work as a cashier. Where did you work?

slowbalt- what SS do you drive?

 

Ohh sweet, the same Dobb's that won't do an alignment on my car lol. I graduated in 08, I probably saw you around lol.

 

lol why won't dobbs align your car? And yeah we prolly know a bunch of the same people, whats your name anyways? Leo here....

 

Grew up in G-City. I'm 48 but the TC fit the bill for what I was looking for-cheap fun. It helps keep me young; that and a general lack of maturity
Seem to recall you mentioning a Trans Am; I had a '77 and an '80, also a '65 GTO.

 

They were being jerks about it cause it's lowered. Yeah I bet we do. My name is Logan steedly

 

yeah man i hear you, yo you happen to date a girl named sarah philips? i remembered she went out with a logan... she also graduated 08.

 

I wasn't in the service; I worked on the commissary when they were building it(mid 80's).


I may get out to the track in the coming weeks if I get around to buying a helmet; I'm only a few miles from Gateway-see y'all out there or elsewhere.

BTW: Week or 2 ago a girl from o'Fallon had an intro thread in the Lounge. She had an SC and a Vette I believe.

 

dont mean to thread jack but if you fella's ever need a tune hit me up

 

Im on the Missouri side of the river but obviously not far at all. Seen the same red ss with carbon fiber. He's on here. He goes to school on the mo side of the river. Saw him a few weeks ago on highway 40.

 

oh yeah actually found out who the guy was, a friend of my friends.... he goes to ranken tech.

 

Haha I did, that's crazy lol.

 

LOL Yeah thats so funny. Cuz I remember back then when yall were dating and stuff she used to talk about you, and yall went to prom and what not, she never told me you had a SS tho, but maybe you didn't have it then, and that might have been the time i didn't really know much about them anyway.

 

yes sir i have a 1980 trans am. 301 engine fiero bronze, original paint and all. It's pretty close to mint. Have had it since i was 15 and she just hangs out in the garage now. BTW if you ever need parts for your cars let m know, i have a lot layng around lol. I have like 3 shakers that i can't give away lol
