anyone think we should start thinking of another meet maybe get the ball rolling

well, we HAD another meet a few weeks ago. tons of people showed up.
we just need to make the meet in a few months (once its warmed up) so we can actually do stuff. and we need to be paitient and hold off till its warmed. and get everything planned ahead of time.
what works best:
1. saturday or sunday.
2. mideast to central east iowa (ie: iowa city, cedar rapids, quad cities, etc.)
3. needs to be warm....................
4. got to get EVERYONE there. more fun with more peeps.

No, but I thought they were going to. When I was leaving late last night, a parking cop was hanging out in out parking lot. As I was leaving, a tow truck pulled into our lot. I drove by seven or either times until I was sure that they were towing another car and not mine. While it's covered with snow, it doesn't look like there's anything wrong with my 7 other than a couple of dents (from the rear, anyway) and a spare tire. The place where I guess they'd look for a license plate was covered up with snow, so I doubt they gave me a second look. But I was scared there for a second.

But yeah, I was afraid it was gonna be a little bit like your towing story.

My DOT problem is that I'm applying for a title. This car hasn't had a title in a while, and I applied for one. And they keep not sending me the next step - the one where I pay lots of money for a bond and they come out to make sure my car doesn't have stolen parts on it, after which they issue me a brand spanking new title and a registration. Until that happens, all I have is a bill of sale, and you can't get a registration with that.
