Everything was done myself. Basically it all started around 230 yesterday.
I was 12miles away from my house when it started to overheat. I flipped on the heat since I didn't have a jug of coolant in the car. Pulled into my appointment, messaged my roomie to bring coolant from the house, refilled and headed home. Did fine til I hit the hwy and she shot straight to the top. I pull off and into a McDonald's, leave the car, buy a new thermostat, replace, refill coolant again. Driving fine til I get to my exit on the hwy when it shoots to the top again and low and behold my exit is closed b/c they're repaving the ramp.

I pull over(in construction at that), check coolant, bone dry again. Call AAA stating I need a flatbed w/ 2x4 ramps, not 4x4 b/c I'm too low, wait an hour for them to show. They show w/ NO ramps, so they won't help me unless I sign a damage waiver. EFF THAT!

Finally around 1030pm one of my buddies is able to come help who lived on the other side of the city. We had to flush the system on the hwy, and the car overheated so badly it fried one of the heater hoses. I limped the car home, took today off, already am home from the parts store w/ a new hose and will put it on when I'm done enjoying my coffee, hashbrowns and eggs.

SHEESH!

NOTE:

For those who are coming-in from out-of state, you do not have to bring anything in terms of food ( :yummy: ). Driving to Chicago is way more then enough contributions. =)
That goes for everyone except for me!! You cannot have a BBQ without meat!

Are there any older ladies here? lol
I'm the only one that has stuck around for the last 6 years.
Nope we dont alllow old ladies.
:hithead:

I'm still bringing Coke product drinks. Angelina won't be attending this year. I'm leaving her at home with grandpa since my husband has to work. I'm trying to decide which hatch I want to bring. I guess I got 17 days to figure that one out.

I might bring her. Just depends if she's going to be cranky or not. No way can I bring out the red hatch if Angelina comes too.


I haven't seen Rey at a summer CC meet since... The southside/BWW Skokie cruise meet? 2006?

since everyone wants you to bring both, connie, this is my proposal:
