    Well,I suddenly got very busy,but,I'm still trying to cruise through the local Cruise Nights. I've been able to at least make a pass through.(Elmhurst-Wed. Nights... Downers Grove-Fri. Nights... Lombard-Sat. Nights.)

    I found out that the Downers Grove Cruise Night for Friday, August 27th.,(Their Cruise Nights are held on Friday Nights) Will be "IMPORT NIGHT". ALL Import cars are Highlighted that night. I also found out that they "Save" all of the On Street Parking Spots on "Curtis Av".,(the first East/West Street South of the Burlington Railroad Tracks) for the "Highlighted Cars" of that week. There is also a huge parking Lot there,too,for the "Highlighted Cars."

    So,since I am giving a Months advance notice. Is anyone interested in getting together for this one? We can dazzle the Muscle Car and Hot Rod weary masses with a bevy of Bella Italian Exotica....:) A veritable onslaught of Ferrari's. What could be better...??? :)

    Sounds like a good idea. Actually I'd like to see who is interested. If we get enough Ferraris together I can contact the organizer so they create a separate category for say Italian Imports.

    So who's in?

    My son and I will come down with the 308 and the Fiat 124 friday. Sunday is also the Italian Village Brunch. Man, we will rub the paint off our cars and exercise or arms showing off our toys!!!!! Also I think Geneva has their cruise night on 8-19. It is a foreign car night. How about we bring some F-cars to it?

    Ok, so we got three 308s and one Fiat so far. If we get another four cars or so I bet they'll setup an Italian Imports category.

    "IMPORT NIGHT"
    This statement tells me there are going to be a bunch of ricers with
    their civics, coffee can exhausts, lawn mower engines, neon lights,
    and loud rave music. I think we would be better off hangin with the muscle
    car crowd.

    Personally I like that stuff. I guess I never grew up and my rear wing is testament to that...

    I think it would make sense to bring our cars and we'll have a subcategory for Italian Imports. I know they will do that for us if we bring enough cars.

    Ok, here's what we do. we put coffee cans over our exhaust and neon under our cars. We dress Frank up as a BAD A@%$ rapper and we are his back-up singers. SORRY I WILL STOP DRINKING COFFEE THIS MORNING. I will feel better in the afternoon!!!

    Actually neon underneath would look great, but our cars are so damn low, it wouldn't survive long.

    Hey,I'm up for all of them. If they advertise those specific Cruise Nights as "Import Nights",why not. People LOVE Italian Exotics.

    I had a bunch of Asian guys living at the end of my block.(They moved) And,they all had Super Tuner NOS Rice Rockets. Sometimes,when all of their Buds were over,there were 10-12 Cars there. And,when I drove by in my Ferrari,they would all stiop talking and gaze,almost in Reverence :),of a Ferrari. It was funnny. (even though any one of them could smoke me in a race....:( Not sure if THEY knew that....:))

    But,I have not seen very many,if at all,ricers at these Local Cruise Nights. So,we have a good chance of being the Majority. (And if we aren't,so what...)

    Last night in Elmhurst. I drove down York Rd.,(the Main "Drag") and it must have been Mustang Night. Dozens of Mustangs,and there were at least 10 that had Blue Glowing lights underneath as they were all parked. It looked kind of neat at Night.

    Please Keep reminders of the IMPORT NIGHT Car Shows. I'll hit 'em all if I can.....:)

    Yep........Barrington started "Crusin' on Thursdays" this year.

    It's every Thursday night from 7-9 PM.

    Each week, a different marque is featured, but any marque can participate.
