///M-VADE Chicago 2016

To continue the success of having an early spring meet in Chicago that started last year, I am proposing a meet for all that love their cars at Burnham Harbor.

But wait... there's more...

Due to popular demand, unlike last year where everyone casually disbanded after the meet, I am also proposing a cruise through downtown and up to The Glen Town Center. Looking at cars is only half as entertaining as seeing them in action. Once at The Glen people can enjoy shopping or eating at their leisure.

Last year had a great turn out and I think people had a great time. Burnham Harbor is a great, secluded place in the city but also downtown. Although I cannot ban any make or model from showing up, my intention is for this not to be a 1995 Honda Civic convention. Last year, we had an array of BMWs (M and non-M), AMGs, Audi S/RS, Ferrari, Alfas, GTRs, and a few police cars

Here are the details:

When: Sunday, April 3rd, 2016 (come around 9am and leave for The Glen around 10:30am)
Starting point: Burnham Harbor - 1599 S. Linn White Dr., Chicago (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bu...c5349bd47e56b6)
Ending point: The Glen Town Center - 2030 Tower Dr., Glenview, IL (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Th...18cc89f0ca5ccb)
Route: Leave Burnham Harbour at ~10:30am and drive up LSD. Exit on Chicago Ave. and head north to Walton Pl.. Take Walton to Michigan Ave. south to Ontario and out to the expressway. Drive to The Glen. It sounds complicated but someone will lead the way. Here's the route (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/1599...42.0891605!3e0)

Check 'Yes' if you're going!

In addition to the Yes/ maybes here, Rennlist looks to be bringing a handful and a lot of interest from InstaGram. The attrition may be offset by the people who confirm for multiple cars (like last year) so my guess is ~30 cars will show if it is nice out.
