Quote, originally posted by audiovibe Â»Reservation made!!Friday & Saturday Aron!?!Quote, originally posted by tpollauf Â»Hmmmmm..... I say you GROUND your mom After all she probably grounded you several times when you were younger! Just have a boyfriend, girlfriend, neighbor, relative, etc.. HIJACK/KIDNAP your mom's GT Vibe and drive it on down with all the other Vibes She shouldn't miss it for a few days Just bring it back in the same condition as when it left (although the Vibe will be happier knowing it reunited with many of it's relatives) Believe me... she would come if she could. Unfortunately, I wouldn't trust anyone else driving hers or mine since they are a little "jumpy" which takes some getting used to. Perhaps I should just drive hers instead of mine .Quote, originally posted by tpollauf Â»Wow. This really is turning into quite the meet After I break the news to my wife (haven't even mentioned it yet ) I find it will be difficult to meet/greet/show off all Vibe related stuff in a 4 - 6 hour time frame on Saturday. I just may have to spend the night also. Plus MANY of our mods (LED lighting, etc.) can ONLY be seen/appreciated at night, and that doesn't take place till 9pm or later! OOOOOOOOOO this is going to be a tough decision. I'll make that decision after the wife gets over the shock It's going to be a virtual '09 GT meet all on it's own . I definitely think you should stay over Saturday night! I'm sure the meet will carry over to the motel parking lot where everyone will continue to hang out, check out Vibes, etc. after dark.Quote, originally posted by jkm311 Â»You'll be there in spirit, and I get the feeling we'll more than cover off photos/video of the event for everyone to click through in the days following.Agreed! I just have a little point-n-shoot, but it does the job. I am actually going to pick up a little tripod to use so hopefully the pictures will turn out even better. I can already see the massive thread with all of our pictures, videos, etc. !

Unfortunately, the white GT probably won't be showing up this time. I'm going to be taking plenty of pics so hopefully that will convince them to go next year.

Buffalo Wild Wings is just as good And I'm not scared to throw Hooters up there with the ladies present...Myself, my brother, and a friend of ours go all the time with our wives.They enjoy it just as much as we do!

I don't care where we go. I'm not picky.I took my ex to Hooter's for his birthday one time. He got mad because none of the girls had big boobs . They do have good food though.Chicagoland Vibers... are we still going to attempt a cara-vibe or no?

They do have good food though.Chicagoland Vibers... are we still going to attempt a cara-vibe or no?I can if people are interested. We're pretty flexible about when and where we go on that Friday. Everyone knows what my driving habits are by now, though, so I'll have to do some major cruise control to stick with a group.

vibenvy · Post by **vibenvy** » Sun Jun 20, 2010 2:24 am

I've never driven with a group either. I am planning on doing 5 over the speed limit to get better mileage so I will definitely be using cruise control as much as possible. I believe the speed limit on I 74 is 65. The speed limit on Route 47 is 55 unless you're going through a town, than it drops down, but none of the towns are big so you're through them in a matter of minutes.Well, for anyone that's willing to come out this way a bit, I am taking Route 47 to I 74. We could meet at either Route 47 & I 80 in Morris or Route 47 & I 55 in Dwight. This route is a nice drive through small towns and corn fields . No cops, no traffic, no construction. Let me know what you guys and girls think. I get off work at 2, so I will be ready to go ASAP. The sooner the better.

houseofbugs · Post by **houseofbugs** » Sun Jun 20, 2010 11:51 am

I am going to try to duck out of work earlier but I have my last appt. at 1:30 so I wont be out until 2, that would put me down to RT 47& 80 about 4 P.M.Carrie if you left at 2 what time would that put you at the Morris interchange? I will try to massage the work schedule to allow me to leave earlier.

jkm311 · Post by **jkm311** » Sun Jun 20, 2010 11:08 pm

Now that we've begun to book rooms and such, should I modify the first post to reflect only the correct/current information surrounding this meet? Or, should I leave it as I first posted, to show how it all came together? Might be kind of fun to look back on it in the future. Either way, I'm open. Just didn't know if the long first post was confusing those just stumbling upon it for the first time (or even some of us who are sick of scrolling through it for updates ).So...Modify/update the whole first post... or just keep as is, with me BOLDING the dates I go in and make minor changes?

All I will need to do will be run into town and deposit my check at the bank than I will turn around and head south. If you Chicagoland people are willing to meet up at either Route 47 & I 80 in Morris or Route 47 & I 55 in Dwight, we can do that. Once we decide that we can better decide on a time. I would say, if you guys/girls are going to come out this way to meet me, it would probably be between 4 & 5.Quote, originally posted by audiovibe Â»I am going to try to duck out of work earlier but I have my last appt. at 1:30 so I wont be out until 2, that would put me down to RT 47& 80 about 4 P.M.Carrie if you left at 2 what time would that put you at the Morris interchange?

We're actually contemplating checking out that new waterpark in Yorkville and might go spend the day there on Friday so that by 3pm or so we'll be ready to go and already out in the area! Provided the weather is good, of course.

vibenvy · Post by **vibenvy** » Tue Jun 22, 2010 11:00 am

That would be even better! Aron and I could just meet you guys at Routes 34 & 47 in Yorkville. It's only a couple miles south of the water park. There's a big gas station we could meet at. Hopefully the weather is nice the whole weekend *crosses fingers*.

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Tue Jun 22, 2010 2:10 pm

Sorry everyone, thanks to my stupid job I am too broke to go...the Infinity also gets like 2 miles to the gallon so it would cost me a bit to get out there (removed)...hopefully I'll have a new job by the time the next meet is scheduled because I really want to go.Maybe I'll win the lotto before July? I'm so pissed, aside from the Gattlinberg meet in '08 I haven't been on a vacation in 7 or 8 years

jkm311 · Post by **jkm311** » Tue Jun 22, 2010 2:14 pm

Okay Chicagoland Vibers... Aron tried to get the 16th off from work, but was unsuccessful. He doesn't get off work 'til 2, but he said he may be able to get out a little earlier. He said he probably wouldn't be in my neck of the woods 'til about 4. Are we still wanting to cara-vibe together or what (Michelle I know you and Chris are a yes)? Jerry? Tim? Josh? What are you guys wanting to do?

OK... you guys & gals want a good laugh??? First off, it's official.. I will be there for this awesome meet in 20 days Yep, I officially broke the news to my wife and here's what will happen to me at the meet (in HER words, of course) Someone will ROB me, then someone will molest me, when all is said and done someone will have killed me! Yep, my wife of 20+ years, an OVERPROTECTIVE mom, a very paranoid lady, a pessimist, a major worry wort! Enough of who I have to live with which makes this trip all the more worth my while She has to learn that us auto enthusiasts who choose to engage in clubs, forums, meetings, etc. do it because we love our rides and want to share our experiences with others of the same interests. She has watched too many 20/20 episodes where cyberspace had led teenagers into serious trouble.I too have to get Kostby my updated "mods" list. To date I've only got TWO and a long list of future mods. At the rate these mods take me (minimum 3-months each mod) it will be several years till I catch up.Looking forward to this meet

Put my down as maybe.It might be too late for this if you have already started the job, but usually if you tell them when you're offered a position that you have a "trip" or something planned, they will go ahead and give you the time off, especially if it's only a day or two.

Josh can't make it and Jerry hasn't posted in a while so I don't know if he's still going or not, but the four of us are for sure leaving Friday as we have our rooms already booked. We're staying at the Qualtiy Inn along with everyone else who's staying Friday and/or Saturday nights. My room (single king bed) was $140.38 with taxes and everything for Friday and Saturday nights. Right now I believe the plan is that we're more than likely going to meet in Yorkville and head straight south down Route 47 to I 74 to I 465.
