I would try and contact Dave Swanson a Rennlist member here. I know he and some other guys in the area had regular getogethers in the Chi-Town area. There are lots of us here - I'm pretty busy but I'm really going to try and make it to some water cooler owner events this year.

I'm in Lakeview (or Wrigleyville if you want to be un-PC). There are quite a few 944s in this area, though they aren't in the best of shape...

hmmm...I'm trying to think where woolridge is. I live in Mundelein, not too far south of chicago. If you and some others want to meet sometime just let me know. I actually just bought my car from Arizona last week. It's being shipped sometime thursday or friday of this coming up week, so I'm very very excited. I can't wait to drive it. I paid almost 20,000 bucks for a car I've never driven. The only Porsche I've driven is a 944 a long long time ago. I have tons of confidence in Porsche's performance and handling and thought this Porsche just looks so good, especially in convertible form. I can't wait. Hope to talk later,
Chad

Woodridge is more in the wouthwest suburbs, not the west. Next to Naperville and Bolling Brook. In fact 355 runs right by Woodridge. I live about 15 minutes from there in Lockport, which is next to Joliet.
