Hey, guys. I was just visiting this section of the forums to post about our next Northern IL w-body meet. It's actually this coming Saturday (July 30th) at Herrick Lake in Wheaton, IL. I know a few of you have been to one of these meets before. Well be grilling out there. I'll actually be bringing ...

Yeah, my fault on that. Got a lot going on since starting this last job a little while back, so I haven't been as diligent with the planning of these meets.

Carl - Sweet! No need to bring supplies/food. The way we do these now is I just buy everything in advance, and everyone just brings $5 to chip in. Unfortunately, they don't allow alcohol there. :(

CMNT - Dammit! Well, we'll be there for a while if you find a moment to stop by.

Really late invite, but we're doing another Herrick Lake cookout tomorrow. Details can be found in the link below. If interest, just let me know here, then stop by with $5 to chip in towards the food and supplies. :)

Dam, that sucks guys. :(

Will, the reservation is for 6:30, and we'll be there for a while. Be quick with the L36 and get your butt down there! No one will car which vehicle you bring. We've had older Audi A4s, Ford Excursions, etc. It's more about hanging out with people with similar car ...

OK, kids. Less than a week to go. If anyone else can make it for certain, please let me know ASAP, as I need to give the place a fairly accurate headcount in the next day or two.

A job I work at 24/7 (yes, I work weekends, holidays, when I'm throwing up and running to a porcelain receptical...), A Wife, two kids, etc...

Neither the Caddy or GTO are moving until it stays above 60* consistently, ALL snow is gone, it rains, and all road salt is washed away.

Yes, back in the ...

CMNTMXR57 - Would go play?? What's stopping you from doing so again? Saaaaaay.....March 28th around 7ish?? And find someone else to drive a car as well so you can bring both the goat and the STS-V. :mrgreen:

Carl - I'm on there, but for now, would prefer not to post it on there. These meets have ...

Well kids, it was 10 years ago on March 19th that a small group of grocery getter family car fanatics decided to get together at a little hamburger joint in Downers Grove, IL for a "mini-meet" to hold them over until a larger event was planned. While there have been ups and downs along the way ...

Got it. Odi's grabbing some cheddar Ruffles and BBQ Lays, so if you could, make one of the bags some kinda tortilla chips deal/something for dipping. Then grab whatever you want for the other bag, or maybe get like pretzels or something for variety? Up to you.

For those of you that are coming for certain, please let me know so I can add you to the official list. I also need 3 more volunteers to each bring an 8 pack of dogs/something to grill + buns (Polish or Italian sausage, etc; someone already has brats covered), 1 volunteer to get 2 more bags of chips ...

Hey, guys. Just wanted to extend an invitation again to the Bonneville community for our w-body.com meet. Many of us started out with Gen I w-bodies, but have moved on to other things over time (this is our 8th year doing these!). Therefore, we get all kinds of makes/models at these meets, so please ...

I never understood the need for auto-dimming mirrors or the tons of R&D spent on developing them, when a flip-tab and a 15-cent piece of glass in a standard rear-view mirror do the same thing.

This is true. But then again, same can be said for many features. Why get a heads up display if your ...

Thanks to Pontiac Bonneville Club folks for coming out and contributing to another successful meet. Great turnout, terrific weather, several new faces, and nice cars. Extra thanks to the G8 GXP for making us all hate our lives. I'll get my pics up in the next day or two.

No alcohol allowed at the forest preserve.

SSEi - Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Had a lot going on today. lf one of you wants to bring paper plates, and the other wants to bring plastic cups, I think that should do it for the things needed.

Hey, sorry I didn't see this sooner. Here's the OnStar harness pinouts:

Only difference on the Bonneville ones is they didn't get a compass or temp, but got map lights, so Pin 1 is for the map lights coming on with the interior lights ...

Sweet!! Now I can be even MORE depressed about the hunk of metal that looks like it tried to mate with a moving train, then sat out in the rain for the next few years that I call my car! :D

But yeah, if you know you'll be there for certain, let me know along with what you'll be bringing to ...

Yeah, man. It's our grand insurance money collecting scheme!

And PLEASE bring the GXP!!! You can even park in the lot just before the lake!!

It's a bit short notice, but I've extended an invitation to these w-body meets to the Bonneville Club before, and have usually had a decent Bonneville turnout. It's at Herrick Lake in Wheaton on Saturday the 13th. If anyone would like to attend, please let me know along with what you're bringing to ...

You should have taken it back to whoever did the windshield replacement. There's really no reason (unless the shop somehow used an incorrect sized mounting button on the windshield) for the tension spring-tab mounted mirrors to be loose unless something somehow got broken or bent on the tab, in ...
