Chevy & GMC Vans

You going come to the Astro meets at Augustino's in St Charles?

I don't know when and what that is.

When: Pretty much whenever we get a reason.
What: AS drivers meeting at a cool '50s themed restaurant, eating, BSing, and showing vans.
Where: Augustino's is located just west of IL-59 (Sutton Rd) on IL-64 (North Ave) in St.Charles.

Last meet at Auggy's was a couple weeks back when Mr_Roboto was up from the Carbondale area for job interviews. Southern and I had our vans there. Same group and vans met at Southern's house about a week later when Mr_Roboto had his second interview.

Cool.

Must be interesting to think the way you do Petey ... but I am all thumbs up with your statement! I love look of the ride and '97 is the best
Those tires look lovely!!! Wish I did not have to go to so many underground parking here where I live - otherwise I would put beefer tires on my ride as well.

Thanks.

Welcome,,looks as if you've already met our local Smurfette from the far north, so I'll just say hello and move on.

Thanks.

I've seen his motorcycle, I don't want to see him in a blue dress, and I have enough firepower I'm not worried about anyone stopping by.

I got them on eBay for $200 previously owned but never used. 15"x 8" 5 on 5" bolt spacing 4.75" backspacing.

What!? $200!! Oh man, I've gotta shop Ebay more. I always get frustrated with the west coasters out bidding me in the wee hours of the morning...

Sweet deal indeed.
