For those who don't know, I am moving to Bloomington, IL next week. Goodbye Evansville! Are there any Scions in the area? I searched and didn't find many references. I will be in an extended stay motel for a couple weeks until I find a place to stay. Any suggestions?

you have sound performance there. they are building up a turbo tc and i used to live there but im like 15min south of there now and there are alot of other in the area none in that exact town that i know of though

sound performance is in BloomingDALE. BloomingTON is about 2 hours south of there.

oh missread hahaha good luck moving there then lol


thanks for correcting me tcpez

no problem aaron. :)


oh and good luck w/ your move Max, sorry i don't know anybody down there, but maybe we'll see ya at some meets next season.

welcome to the chicagoland area, i think. where is bloomington?

120 miles south on I-55

Yeah, a little south of the Chicagoland area. Good luck with your move.

Hey I saw your post about moving. That's where I am originally from and soon to be moving back. I have not seen a lot of scions down there. Mostly "auto zone'd" up neons and cavaliers. Maybe this summer we can see if we can meet up and see if we can get people together!

Sounds good.

I will be relocating to the Decatur area for work next month - bout 70 minutes south of there. From Chicago to Decatur.... :cry:

Ha, I went to school in Decatur at Millikin University. Good luck in Decatur. ps. where will you be staying in decatur? and where do you work?
If you are looking to move to Bloomington I would look in Normal. Normal seems to be a bit cheaper plus it is closer to ISU so there are alot of apartment complexs there plus if you get off of I-55 onto US 51 in Normal and look by the community college (heartland?) there is a new subdivision going up there and the prices are still pretty low on the homes there. What is taking you to Bloomington?! If you get the chance go to the Mitsu plant there and watch them make a new eclipse... They have pretty big car clubs and shows there too. enjoy

Sorry for the slow reply, been moving and without internet.

I am looking in the Normal area.

Electrolux brought me here. Does Mitsu give tours? some manufacturing facilities don't.

yeah mitsu will give tours as far as i know. if not, just wait for the spring when they have the eclipse show... you'll know when it is

Fully moved to Decatur. Living on the north side of town near the new Target (Mound & Macarthur). Working for the big yellow east on Pershing.

Max,

How is Normal?

I am living in Bloomington, not that there's a difference. It's cool, but pretty boring.

Work is going very well.

midwest boring as you say :P

haha

Boring? Haw-haw-haw! What's funny is that people who work down here commute from Bloomington/ Normal because they say that its boring down here. Tells ya how bad a rep Decatur got.

When I was looking for a house many people told me that I should look in Bloomington and Champaign. I looked and did not see anything worth driving 90-120 Minutes a day for. I decided that it is better to be bored and have a short trip to work than to be bored and have to ____ away two hours at $2.50/ gallon every day. :yawn:

Good to hear that work is going well. Can I borrow some money? Just kidding.

man... I miss the hucks gas stations around Decatur...

anyway, I will be in decatur this coming monday and tuesday. If you guys are not too busy maybe we can hit up cheddars or texas roadhouse... lemme know.

Ill be staying right across the street from the menards on 51

Tentatively OK for me

You must know something about Hucks that I don't....:ponder:

I am supposed to be traveling Tuesday - Thursday for work, but I have been trying to get out of it all week. I think that I got it done, so I may be OK.

aight, well I will be leaving the show tonight and driving to decatur... I would probably say if any night wuld work we could meet Monday night because I will be headed home about 12pm on Tuesday

Are we on for tomorrow? Email me and let me know.

emails are being sent now.

I did get the email and pm's with the phone number but I didn't get any names...
I'm up for meeting anytime, but it looks like maybe the roadhouse at 7? Or really anywhere at 7. That will give time for the people that need to drive. Let me know.

Ps. My name is sean

I live in Champaign, there's a Scion dealership there, and a few running around town. I actually do the commute every day, there are 3 of us who carpool together to SF in B/N. If you're ever in Champaign look for the xB Taxi running around. It's great.

Well the meet fizzled... it was just me and jason that met up and have a few steaks and a few beers. hopefullt next time i head down there we can get a few more people together.

plus the rain just sucked

Yeah sorry about that. Hopefully I can make the next one.

I used to go to school at ISU, now up at Rockford. But I do remember that there were 2-3 decent shops down there. When it gets warmer, theres always cars gathering in the K's Merchandise parking lot. Most of the guys there were decent.

Shops?

Where?

All I know if is next level in Decatur... and I think they are closed down now... And Rockford isnt too far from where we meet now... so you should come out and meet us sometime

I'm def game to meet up sometime. As far as the shops, I don't remember unfortunately.

I do know of Midwest Perf. HQ. Its located on Main st. in bloomington. There was another shop that closed. But I think there are still 2 others. You'll see an suv w/ 24's and advertising for the shop.

Thanks for the heads up, but I cannot find Midwest Performance HQ in the book or online. I'll keep an eye out for their SUV.

The suv is from another shop. Midwest Perf was/is called MPH. If youre heading north on main st just south of ISU campus, you'll see a converted gas station. Thats it.

After some digging... their website looks defunct. http://www.mphspeed.com/ It's been a year 1/2 since I was last there so Im sure a ton has changed.

Cool thanks for the info. I work on Main about 2 miles from campus. I will go up there tomorrow.
