Well I was gonna ask the people who responded where they would like it to be. All this to find a mutual agreement on time place and date.

Schaumburg/hoffman estates area would be great. Woodfield mall?

mall security calls cops everytime a car meet starts there...same with Meijer...and Petsmart/ex-Circuit City

they consider it loitering...

I've seen several meets get dismantled there...WRX, Corvettes, Evo...

Yeah your right how could i have forgotten. Well are you still down for the schaumburg area? Im seeing a lot 8thgen coupes and sedans around here everyday, not sure how many of them are on DA tho..but how about like at a forest preserve?:dunno: Any place with a decent size parking lot and no issues with security or cops would do.

I'd be a little interested in coming, since we couldn't really get anyone to sign up for the St. Louis meet (we put it off until spring). I'd consider coming though if the time and date work out with my schedule :dunno: :scratch:

Okay Schaumburg seems okay to me. I've never been there but i got my cousin in Mt. Prospect so I can chill with her as we all meet up. Now as for the month it's obviously going to be November so we can make plans to clear our calendar.

If we can get a nice amount of people I think this would be great. Meet up at a parking lot then drive to another suitable place before some jerk says we're loitering

haha sure I'm down. except I'm on a business trip from Nov. 2 - Nov. 9th.
Any weekend after that I'm down. :thmsup:

If we're really doing this, we need to hurry before the evil white powder comes.

Oopps I was looking at the October calender.

Everyone post 2 days you would like to have it on in November. From there we'll narrow it down and then vote the top 2

Hard to decide. All depends on the weather lol, think we should wait till november to decide?

Yeah you have a point. Well let's now decide a more specific spot.

MrDemonicAngel
10-23-2009, 05:34 AM
I nominate:

- Randhurst mall
- new Walmart (Rand Rd. and Central Rd.)
- Twin Lakes (Palatine...off of 53, although small...view is great)
- Independence Grove (Libertyville: Milwaukee Ave and Buckley Rd, big...view is spectacular...but far)

- Busse Woods (last resort, only cuz theres so many cops there)

There is a place in Highland Indiana, pretty much right off of I-94, called "Blue Top". its an old car hop resurant with a nice neon sign. Car people in the area go there all the time, I am sure they would love an accord meet.

If the meetup is there, at least there will be food!

This is Chicago-related, so I posted it here....

Taking LSD at night ;-) Well, guess what Chicago expressway I was on for most of these ;-)

Basically I taped my SLR to my dash and took random long exposures...

I have a rule..."No eating in my car".

Of course no eating in anyone's car! They have picnic tables! What I was saying though is that if a place had to be picked for a meet, why not have food that we can eat outside of our cars! ;-)

I live the town south of highland, schererville. Highland is a beautiful place and I know some great road curves on 93rd (st John). I'd put that under my list
