    Free Gas is good. Dang .....Sun Block in the "Windy City"? I grew up near there never had sun block. Global Warming I guess. Congrats on the free gas. :thumbs2:

    When its not so hot down here. Every Friday night is a "Cruise In" on 4th Ave. Ill try to have my 73 done by "Midnight at the Oasis" this spring" Big show, great weather.

    Thats rare for Chi Town aint it?
    I was back for my Sisters wedding in June 3 yrs ago, flew into O Hare, stepped outside to wait for the rental car shuttle and couldnt breath or bear the wieght of my clothes for the humidity. I dont miss that or the winters.

    born and raised here.can very humid in the summer.just ask all the people who fall asleep on the beaches along LSD if they should have worn sunblock.the thing i like the most is we see all 4 seasons here

    Loved cruisin LSD on friday eve back in the day. Gonna do again some day. 20 years ago I transfered to Prescott AZ to have 4 seasons transfered back after 10 years. I got aclimated to the heat I guess. Dont like shovelin snow or scrapin windows.
