Hey is there a place where people usually hang out at on the weekends out there. I am gonna be out there next Sat. Have to go to Ohare to pick up the wife. But have time to kill before she gets there. It would be nice to find a place where alot of you guys hang out during the day on Sat/Sun.

I don't really go for the streets. I have a hard enough time driving home from work with my windows tinted. Thank's for having an AZ drivers Liscence that let's me keep my tint. I have gotten out of an Exhaust, and Tint ticket because of it. Legal Resident of AZ. They can't say **** to me about my car. I might stop by factory 5 on Sat to see what they got. I am out there anyway to pick up my wife from O'hare.

I was told suja1 for my a/t to m/t swap. I called them today and not bad pricing. Any of them close to the freeway coming from rockford to Chicago. Can't remember which one it is. And too damn lazy to get a map. Well I got my lights today so my dash is complete.

Where is Crystal lake? I have only been out there like 2 or 3 times. Been to Great Lakes area a couple of times and drove around and got lost. How long ago was it. I was out there cruising around about 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Might of been me. Not sure of the area's out there. I was driving back from the Navy Base up in Great Lakes and decided to take the roads instead of the highway. So where I ended up I am not sure. Was it during the day?

I'm kinda new to all the Honda happenings around here, but I've been to some Focus events (Focus in the Field) with my cousin and they were pretty cool... Just a bunch of people getting together to have a fun time, eat, drink, camp out... but it was in Indiana. I was just wondering if there was anything of the sort with us Honda owners but in Illinois here. To me it seems like most of the Honda happenings are out in Cali... year round good weather or what? I dunno... just wondering.
