Sorry Ed, I can't capture your ride in any of the pics. Maybe Phil's Nikon can. :wink (2):
Good turnout and great pics Jonas, who is the one clowning around on the edge of that dumpster?
The one and only Handy Andy! 
I like the leaves blowing in #6
I think in 2 years the Chicago meets are going to average 15 cars, possibly 25 cars. The Chicago guys are INCREDIBLE. I go to meets here in Michigan and they are just totally different. Most meets guys are just trying to show off their car or trying to up the other car.
The Chicago guys and the meets are just the opposite...it's all about trying to help each other out and it ends up just being plain fun. The last Michigan meet up I did, the guy took out his trophies and wouldn't walk around really to the other cars. Then I touched the car and he looked and me and said don't touch. This is more on the extreme side, but I'm just saying Chicago is lucky to have such a great group of guys helping others out. When I met up with Marus on Saturday for a good 7 hours in his garage, we had a blast just shooting the sh*t and he kept raving about how awesome Ed, Andy, etc are and guys like that is what motivates him to keep doing work, which by the way does meticulous work and his installs you could not tell AT ALL from factory...he is that ridiculous. He could have done it in 1 hour, but did it in a way that would had been done like it came out off the assembly line just because that is how he likes to do it. I hung out with Joe - paint work on Saturday for about 1-2 hours hours and he does perfection paint work. We talked about mods for awhile and what he plans to do with ours as far as intakes in the spring. These guys don't make a ton of money on these things and it always just about how to help the other guy out between all these guys....just incredible....
Wayne, you are one of those guys...just don't live in or near Chicago. Chicago is just lucky to have several of them and luckily, keeps attracting the same king.

Thanks for the good words Jonas & Marus. Jonas, I had the same vibe about us Chicago guys too.
Wow 1 hour install into 7 hours (did the Mrs interrogate ya?). So glad Marus is the type of guys that DON'T charge by the hour. I went to Marus a couple of times and each time I plan to just pick up and go, but he just so helpful that he wants to make sure I know how do install the stuff and show me his cool projects and ended up not leave there an hour later. One advice to the Chicago guys, when to go to Marus, leave your plan behind or make it the last stop, lol.

What do you have against Asians? They keep you in business=) We're all blind.
They all look the same to me
Rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 on
Somehow I imagined Andy to be Caucasian and...skinier
Haha, did you just call Handy_Andy fat? =) =) =) =) No more chicken feet for you Andy....
When I saw it I thought you were pretty agile to jump up on that dumpster, and looks like you have a great sense of humor.
