We already have this
Michigan Mega Meet, where the Bonnevilles are the minority and the beer is the majority!

I'm as committed as I can be at this point, there are a lot of variables. I will obviously be in the G8. Probably convoy up with the Chi-town krue.

Indeed. Plus Ryan, you'll like Tim's Cutlass.
It'll be a fun time. The convoy idea works for us Ed.

Will, Im considering bringing the Cutlass this year, but I have a major coolant leak that I have yet to identify the source. Right now, I have to stop every 30 miles to refill with coolant. It'd take me forever to get there at that rate. If I can get that fixed and figure out why my service light is on and get that fixed, I might feel more comfortable driving it that distance. I dont want to get into BFE Michigan and be stuck.

Do it! Then we can have a mini G-body meet too with Ryan's Cutlass if I can get my 82 Grand Prix done in time!
If there is a Chi-Town convoy, I would love to join it as it gets into Michigan unless I stay at Matt's house in Detroit.

Right now, it hinges on what I find with the coolant leak. If the weather would stop being moody and actually stay warm, I could crawl under the car and figure it out now. I'll keep y'all posted as we get closer.

Don't tempt me to bring mine Ed. It's already decided.
And Tim we'll have a trailer on standby as it is. If you don't need it one of us might.

Will, Im worried for the trip there. Push comes to shove and I'll hitch a ride back with Greg. Need to invest in a trailer...and a truck, for that matter. Greg and I were JUST talking about this over the weekend.

Still plenty of time to figure it out before then. There's only a few places coolant can go really.

Thats what Im thinking. My suspicion right now is that I remember seeing some kind of tubing running near the starter that didnt appear to go anywhere. I havent traced it out yet, but the pool of coolant that is leaking when the car sits is just under the drivers side door, closer to the fender, so my thought is that might have something to do with it. Of course, until I get under there and look for sure, Im just speculating.

Coolant can run many different places when leaking, best bet would be to clean the engine bay rearlly nice then let it dry, fire it up and let the coolant leak and trace it back to where it originates.

As soon as the weather clears a bit more (above 45), I'll head out and see if I can find out where its leaking. Once I know that, I can make a better commitment to the presence of a 2nd G Body. Although, Ryan, Greg informs me your Cutlass is having a tranny issue?

Poor Matt...
Yes, we had to get a trailer at the last meet. I should say from now on, at least one trailer should be on hand at every meet. Never know when someone's gonna break something!
(Because we all like to do burnouts in front of Ryan's house!)

Psh, it's never fully decided. Either way, it's not like my G8 will be alone. We'll have Jerry, hopefully Peter and Kyle? 2 black, 2 white. That's what I call balance!

Yea, my Cutlass is having issues right now. Still runs and drives but can't really get on it because the trans don't like to shift and also having a severe high RPM missfire / stumble. Honestly not even sure I will plate and insure it this year with the big pay cut I took back in October and no overtime happening any time soon. At least it looks good sitting in my yard
