Moving to Chicago
Hey,
I'm moving to Chicago thursday for a 3 month internship, and just wanted to check and see who's in the area, I'll actually be living in Villa Park. I look forward to meeting you guys.

Later,
Clay

I'm not to far from Villa Park, I live in Carol Stream, but I no longer have my Maxima I traded it in for a new ride which I'll be posting up pictures here soon. But I recomend joining www.chicagonissanclub.net which originally was chicagomaximaclub.net if you want to meet more fellow Chicago Maxima owners.

I work in Melrose which is not too far from Villa Park, and usually drive just about anywhere. As Xander already pointed out, check out the forum from time to time. Hope you're ready for the moody weather we have

I just got back from Aspen, it was -12 with a -26 wind chill the first day out there, and I currently live in Cincy, so I feel I'm somewhat prepared, but I'll be bringing warm clothes and boots for sure, and the cars being winterized as we speak.
