Re: Where is ILLINOIS at?!?!?!?

older MEGADETH OWNZ ALL!

i have some of their special CD's, overseas ones with extra tracks and such and some other things.



someone said they miss IL ?? after moving to the northwest ?
wtf ?

thats stupid lol


i drema that i coudl get out of this hell hole state with corrrupt governors going to prison and so forth and politicians being investigated often


i am in Lincoln which is between springfield and bloomington and morton and peoria and is where the LDC campus is that the governor closed after spending millions on tearing donw old buildings and building four brand new ones and allowing a millions dollars of maintainence on it each year but yet wont open it or use it for anything

costing us a million a year

yeah..

retarded as hell..

i live literally two small town blocks away from it here..


anyways, uhmm i go by or past some of your guys' towns all the time.. especially past morton and on the to peoria, etc

i used to go to chi-town often, its a 2.5 hour trip one way if you drive fast enough haha


theres a TON of these S-trucks in this stupid town here but all are stock beaters for the most part

like billions of them

like i see 20-30 a day in this 15k town without even trying if i am out and aboout enough.

never knew how many there were til i got another one

yet you cant find any other kind of vehicle

no G bodies,

no caprices

no full size trucks older than 88

a very few rare F bodies and i have the only single existing '82-84 firebird around here that i have ever seen in MANY years,, if not a decade


no anything else

alll gone to the shredder long ago

anyone need anything like parts or help with repairs or anything lemme know

im always parting out various years makes models and we have a full private shop with a lift and have been in the "business" for a long time now, trans and engine replacements, have welders, torch, plasma, saws, etc

we have many vehicles from a 54 f-100 and a 72 chevelle ss 454 and a 57 bel air HT coupe and a 68 corvair monza convertible and on up through the 90's

photo albums of mine:

Re: Where is ILLINOIS at?!?!?!?

Oh forgot to mention that it looks to quite possibly be the coming from front and rear main. Or should I just drive the wheels off of it, keep adding oil, and save for a swap? lol. The quotes have been going for around 600 bux so far.

clean the engine compartment and underside with a good oil and grease remover... dirve it a little bit and try to see if you can determine where it is coming from...

as for mechanic shops in the area, I don't know of many full service shops. I do my own maintenance and repairs on most of our vehicles

Re: Where is ILLINOIS at?!?!?!?

Hey! doing some stuff for work right now. I am planning some outdoor events and looking for places for rock climbing, rivers for canoeing and kayaking, and trails. I have found a good bit of tourist type stuff but is there some cool places that you know of that I might not have come across. This would be for places an hour or 2 away from Belleville, IL. Thanks for any help.

Re: Where is ILLINOIS at?!?!?!?

What's up just thought I'd let everyone know I'm from the Shorewood/Joliet area lookin for some likeminded S10/Blazer/Jimmy owners to cruise and shoot the shit with occasionally. When's the next meetup?

P.S. for those who have asked, I know of a great mechanic that works on these 4.3's and 2.2's all the time in Joliet, he has the latest and most up-to-date scanners. He did my Crank Relearn on my Wait4Me ECU for free.
