nope just the weekend, we are leaving work early on friday, we will get there around 5pm. I know there is a lot to do and everything but both my roommate and i are here on co-ops and cant really afford to take too much time off. We got a hotel about 12 miles from the dealership (directly on the other side of O'Hare airport). Should be interesting ive never actually seen another modified matrix a neither has my buddy.......hopefully there are some good ones there. And ive also never been to Chicago or even to that part of the country. My buddy has a bunch of ideas for stuff we gonna do friday night and saturday, but do you have any suggestions bein a local and all.

i got a '67 gto back at home that my current roommate and i built and we have taken that to a couple of shows and i had a blast. Though i have never been to an import car show. I know Chicago is a place i really need to go, and trust me im gonna go there and check it out, id just rather not go there and spend the whole day there alone.
