    I've had my 12 MS3 since new, and she's still health and kicking. Hope that there will be more meets once the plague gets sorted. Any NATOR Illinois folks still around? I made it to a couple of meet'n'eats around Aurora and Oswego back in '15/16.

    Cheers

    Welcome. Matt Damond is always around still. There are a few others over that way as well, but it has died down for sure since a lot of younger kids have bought the cars and moved to FB (which is annoying)

    Welcome amigo. The meats that form on FB for the area usually end up meeting up in parking lots and staring at their cars.

    Its been quite in the area for a while.

    That's too bad. I think I'm a bit too old for the parking lot hang out. Sit next to the parking lot and eat a burger with fries? I may come out for that.

    I went to the Midwest meet in 2018 as it was in Indianapolis and I was able to make it. Hope it’s somewhat close this year again to make a full day out of it. Having little ones makes it hard to go stay places but hopefully get to see some new faces again this year!

    I went to a few of the garage meet ups. Toward the end it looked like people either wanted helped fixing their cars so they could sell or the projects turned into waaaaaay bigger projects. At least that’s how it looked to me.

    I try to get the FB peeps out to local autocross/hpde’s but they are really set on parking lot meats.

    Same.

    That may prove to be a tall order this year. A cruise/scenic drive could be an alternative.
