Anyone interested in starting up a Chicago club?

[jjchgo]

Well I am a full time student, have a full time accounting internship, and all of my money goes to Jeep payments, phone bills, and rent in Lincoln Park which if you know the city you know that the cost of living here is the second highest in Chicago. The Badlands is two hours away, RORP is 4 hours away, the Cliffs is only an hour and a half, and I don't even know where McCaslin is. I don't have the time nor do I have the money to go to a park once or twice a month. I know people that have been going to *** for a while and never have been bothered. I know a kid that goes there regulary with his bike and has never had a problem. I went back there on Thanksgiving and it's so dark and secluded that a cop would have to try pretty hard to find someone there. It might be all mud bogs but who cares, it's safer than going to an industrial place on the south side or just finding an empty parking lot with snow drifts in the city. Is it illegal? probably. Do I have a problem with breaking the law? yes. Am I too curious to not stay out of there? no.

i have a solution to your money problem...move out of trendy lincoln park. if you can afford to live in lincoln park you afford to pay to wheel.

cheers,

LP trendy yes, me no. Never been to a club or done any of that tight-shirt date rapist wanna be stuff ever in my life. I'm 21, in school, and working full-time. Where I live is convenient for me because I work in Deerfield, take classes downtown, and all of my college friends are close by.

second that.

Who ever said anything about feeling sorry for me? I was simply stating the fact that I don't have the time or money to go to a park all the time like some of the people here do. I'm willing to pay a lot more money in rent each month if it means living in a safe neighborhood. Sure I could move somewhere else, but frankly I like to hold myself to a higher standard of living than many other parts of the city can provide. Then again I could always live for next to nothing by moving to Gary or Hammond or something.

You used that fact as a defence for illegal wheeling. " Well I am a full time student, have a full time accounting internship, and all of my money goes to Jeep payments, phone bills, and rent in Lincoln Park"

But you don't feel the need to hold yourself to the same high standard when it come to adding to the general public's bad opinion of us, as a community, do you?
If you make the choice to spend your money elsewhere to the point where you can't afford to wheel then be man enough to live with that choice. Don't wheel or save up for an occasional trip.
Don't tell me you can't come up with an occasional $15 for a day at Badlands.

Oh, I don't think All of his money is going to Jeep payments and living in LP-

Ok, everyone that I talk to about this and ask for advice on how to do it thinks i'm nuts.

I"m going to buy a new PS2 (one of the teeny ones), a 7" LCD monitor, and GTA San Andreas (relief from road rage while in chicago traffic!)

However, I want to be able to take out the PS2 for security and to use it at my apartment. I have a pioneer receiver that has yet to be installed that has RCA inputs. The sound of me blowing up a helicopter with and RPG will be loud as SH!T!!! Essentially what I want to do is find the factory wiring and 110 volt outlet from a WJ or maybe an XJ limited (not sure if they came with that option) and install it in my center console, and mount the couplers from the RCAs at the same spot. I want to also have the LCD monitor to have a mount on the top of the dash that will somehow power it, and be able to take off the monitor when it's not in use. Has anyone done this or have any ideas of how I can go about doing it?

*EDIT* What is a decent $100 range 7" LCD Monitor? speakers aren't necessary.

Unless you need to be able to play PS2 from the driver's seat to be trendy...

Hey, I found a couple months of wheelin' money for ya'. :laugh2:

HerpesinfestedCooter,

That'd be a xmas gift.

*edit*
Read the rest of the thread:

"Yea I probably won't be playing it too often, but I always have people in my XJ and I do a lot of traveling (20,000 miles since I bought her in May). It'll be a very addition. I really really like the idea of having household plugs like that. I think I'll only need one, and just hardwire a 12v monitor to the battery."

WOW.

Man, the Indiana school system must be proud! If you're mathematical skills are as good as your spelling some day you might be able to count as high as the amount of teeth your missing.

But you don't feel the need to hold yourself to the same high standard when it come to adding to the general public's bad opinion of us, as a community, do you?

What general public's bad opinion? Last time I checked the City of Chicago isn't too concerned about people driving offroad illegally. When I see Greenpeace on the corner they're not handing out flyers that say "BAN OFFROADING." The general public's opinion is either "your car looks horrible" or "why would you want to destroy your car." It's not an issue like abortion, or the president being a moron, or something that everyone is aware of. The whole reason why I started this thread was to get people together from around Chicago and try to get others into four-wheeling. As just about everyone on here will agree with me, there are a lot of Jeeps around the city that have never seen anything but the road. I would guess that there is a handful of people that would be interested, but just don't know where to go. With the exception of a few people posting on this site, I have gotten nothing out of it since joining. You want a "general public's bad opinion" ask the "general public" what they think of people that toured with the Grateful Dead or Phish. The opinion of those communities, which happen to be a lot more of a family than you d!ckheads get a lot more ridicule and are looked down upon as just pothead hippies. I personally have spent a lot of time touring with Phish, and the majority of the people on tour are not like that. There are those that are, but as good family people like myself always help them out. I don't see that with the Jeep "community." What I have seen on this site in particular is a bunch of middle aged a$$holes that aren't accepting to anyone new or different than they are. If anyone is giving the Jeep community a bad reputation it's people like you.

If you make the choice to spend your money elsewhere to the point where you can't afford to wheel then be man enough to live with that choice. Don't wheel or save up for an occasional trip.
Don't tell me you can't come up with an occasional $15 for a day at Badlands.

I never said that I don't go occasionally, I would like to those places more often but it isn't possible. The Badlands is a far drive, and with gas I spent over $50 the first time I went. Some people go to college. While in college they work and take classes, while paying for rent and all of their other bills. Hence the inadequate amount of spending money college students have. It's a concept that I could teach to my dog and he'd understand it better than most of you.

So, now you are a dickhead, pothead hippy? Or are you the perfect Lincoln Park yuppie wannabe? Illegal wheeling is illegal wheeling. Don't try to make yourself more important than you are. You come in here, get a little ribbing, can't take it, get CSV and then start bashing the people you wanted to wheel with. Why? Because we don't support your illegal wheeling thoughts? Does going to college make you higher on the intellegence scale than anyone who could possibly post on this board? What is it with the 22 year old's out there, lately? All of the one's who have posted here in the last 3 months, think they can solve the world's problems in about 10 mintues...give me a break. Go grow some hair on your sack and get back to us...

You're so ignorant it's not even funny. Next time before you reply to someting on here, take the time to actually read what was posted. If you're so goddamned intelligent educate yourself before jumping on the "I hate ChicagoStyleXj" bandwagon. As I stated early, I'm not a Lincoln Park yuppie nor am I a pothead hippy. I'm a broke college student trying to make ends meet while having fun in the meantime. You're going to come out and say that about me, but then b!tch and b!tch and b!tch about people that don't understand fourwheeling and are against it because they are ignorant! No, going to college does not make me high on the intelligence scale than anyone who could possibly post on this board. I know plenty of peope who never went to college and even high school dropouts that make more than both of my parents combined. Some of the people on here are so ignorant and quick to agree with everything that is said that they come off as morons.

So what's your point? You talk (type) too much and make it difficult to discern what your intent is.

 

[Urban Redneck]

There's a bandwagon? I didn't see a bandwagon. I did see people getting on you about illegal wheeling. I did see you bashing people asking if they could count higher than the amount of teeth they are missing...That's not uppity? Not making yourself out to be higher on the ladder of society? You're the one who said that people on here are dickheads and that people that followed phish are pothead hippys. I put the two together, you walked into it, not me. Maybe if you got over your bad self, didn't brag or try to justify your illegal wheeling adventures, you may find a decent bunch of people who are in your area that may actually wheel with you. You really need to trade in your backhoe and stop diggin yourself deeper into your little pity pit...

I'm guessing that somewhere in this rambling is a point

Perhaps your dog would understand the concept of spending your money on new PS2s, LCD monitors, GTA San Andreas, and trendy, yuppie housing while claiming to have to resort to illegal wheeling due to being a "poor college student" because, frankly, I don't.
Grow up junior.
