I have to admit I was really hoping he was going to roll it with his weak ass attempt at donuts. My sister could do better donuts than that.

From reading the comments it's pretty apparent it's an illegal site.
It's not what I would call wheeling anyway. 75th street is harder to navigate than that. |

Huh? Who me?

Thats a little spot near Willow Springs. Nothing there but a little mud and a lot of Squirrel Police. Technically it's Water Reclamation District Property that is unpatrolled. I wouldn't suggest going there, the minimum fine is $250 per wheel and so not worth the headache. Besides, you're better off going to established properties where wheeling is allowed. It's just not worth it and I highly suggest legit trails that won't put us wheelers in a bad light.

Alright, since you guys said so. I'll stay put.
 I just found it interesting that there were actually places like that in the area. I don't really wanna do anything until I get my sliders ordered and put on anyway. Then, it's off to the Cliffs... __________________ '01 UZJ100 Black '02 Camaro Z28, Black, 25K miles, *FOR SALE* |

Interesting though, that there are other 100 series wheeling not too far away. Haven't seen any yet. __________________ '01 UZJ100 Black '02 Camaro Z28, Black, 25K miles, *FOR SALE* |

body panels can be replaced. i've hit a deer once already going about 65mph and since it's been out of the shop, i've had this awful lingering feeling the integrity of my frame has been jeopordized. Even though all the lines line up, drives straight, and the body shop did stand by its work, that damn feeling in the back of my head just won't let go.
