Holyman Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 Miles wise, it's not many. Time wise about 30 to 45 minutes. Quote

initall Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 Matt37 I see you are on here too, Picking up the SL600? i saw this on exriders.com Naperville is pretty close to Chicago When you get it you should swing up here (southern Wisconsin) and let me drive it. LOL Don't worry i will let you drive my ride Quote
Matt37 Posted June 29, 2005 Author Report Posted June 29, 2005 When you get it you should swing up here (southern Wisconsin) and let me drive it. Sounds good , The real question is can you handle it. It is a v12 you know! Quote
STLBILL Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 Someone from here just bought a house in Aurora. He posted some pics and it was a house with at least a mile view in all directions. I don't know if that jogs anyone's memory, but anyone in Aurora would have to know about Naperville. On the map Naperville is only an inch or two from Aurora... Quote
Holyman Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 It's blk02banshee I brought his posting to the top. Heck yeah you could do a midwest "meet the HQ" tour. Come by my place on your way to southern Wis. Quote

Matt37 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Posted July 1, 2005 Wow i just got back and that was a far drive!! But it was worth it because the car is awsome. Map Quest really screwed me over though cuz their directions had me going straight through Chicago at about 4:50 right when rush hour was starting. Boy that was a pain in the ass!!!!! Quote

I will say one thing tho... Chicago drivers don't use the horn nearly as much as they do in NY and its surrounding areas. I think horns blowing all the time would be enough to push us over the edge.

The best Il driving description i have ever heard. That is one thing i do not miss the Chicago traffic but Chicago has 100 times better restuarants than Milwaukee i miss that Quote
Matt37 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Posted July 1, 2005 It didnt bother me, but after knowing i had to drive 12 hours to get home I was getting mad. I usually can deal with city traffic. I go to NYC about 4 times a month and Philly about 10 times a month for buisness so Iam kind of use to it. Iam always in cities. Tell you what though people think NYC is the worst. But the worst I've ever been in was DC at rush hour. Because the whole city is government offices and right when that clock hits 5, those people are out of there. Man that city is nuts at rush hour!!! Quote
