Would anyone be interested in having a little mini-meet? I am looking into moding my car more and see how my car compares to other SC300 or SC400. I say area around Schaumburg would be a great place for a meet. What do you guys think? Bussie Woods or Streets of Woodfield on the very top of the garadge? Everyone's welcomed. This saturday the 14th at 1 pm.

I'll see if I can make it. We're supposed to be somewhere, but not sure what time that day.
I also have a 2000 C5, and their gatherings are awesome.
take care.

I'd love to go, but I have to work until 6 on Saturday (5 if I'm lucky) then drive there from southern MI. From Jackson to Chicago proper would be like 2 and 1/2 or 3 hour drive there (depending on traffic ) maybe another 30 or 45 minutes to Schaumburg. I might even be going there that weekend with a friend. Keep me informed of the details, I'll see what I can do.

You're a brave man. Hahah.

BTW, let me guess, you're also a fellow Linux user. Aren't you?

Yes I am. As a matter of fact, since it doesn't show what type of car you have in the forums unless you click on someone's profile, I've changed my Location to reflect my vehicle.

Thumbs up Paintless dent repair

I guess I'll put this offer on the table. I was referred to this guy who does paintless dent repair for the Lexus dealership I go to. I asked him if he'd be willing to do it on the side for wholesale price and with some pursuasion he agreed. He is doing my SC300 this Thursday. If you folks are still wanting to meet and also have dings on your car you want fixed, I can arrange to have this guy meet us to at least give quotes and do some repairs.
Pls don't quote me on price just yet, but here is an example:
I went to DentBuster, which is a corporate chain. They quoted me close to $500! I am hoping to have it done for about half that price.
Just private message me so I can tell him how many to expect. He operates in the west/southwest burbs so perhaps something closer to Naperville would work out better if you all wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.
Regards,
Thom

I guess not many people will go for the dent fixes. My dents aren't that bad at all yet. So, perhaps in few months.

So, why don't we meet on the very top of the parking garadge at Streets of Woodfield. This is where other clubs meet from time to time. LOL. I remember last meet I went to at Bussie Woods everyone got lost because of so many places at Bussie Woods. Remember, Saturday, 1 PM. We could go out to get some food later on too. See you all there.

PS. I got my Automatic Transmition Super Cooler. I have no idea where to install it. Anyone in IL has this installed? I got the 24,000 one.

Click here for a map

Besacly get off of I-290 at Higgins Rd. or Golf Rd. and go west. If you get off at Higgins Rd. you will see Big Bowl restaurant and not too far a big parking garadge. If you took the Golf Rd. exit then go streight pass the lights untill you see Higgins Rd. and follow the Higgins Rd. directions. LOL. The place is right on the iintersection of I-290 and Higgins Rd. Take the garadge all the way to the top. That's where we will be.

If anyone gets lost call me at 847-971-8706. My name is "Chris" or call me by my nick name "Z".

Unhappy A little too early for me

Ok guys, I will be going to Chicago this weekend, but 1pm is a little early for me. I think I could get there by 6:30-7:30 your time, would anybody still be there? I'd love to meet some other clublexus members and see some other peoples cars. I know it's a lot to ask, but could you maybe make it a bit later in the day?

Keep me informed.

I wouldn't mind meeting at around 6:30 or 7:00 pm (I just pulled 1 pm out of nowhere). Would anyone disagree with that?

Personally I don't have any other plans other than going to the movies to see Final Fantasy or going to Cafe Iberico in Chicago. Anyone who wants to go with me is welcomed.
