I wanted to throw out the idea of a bunch of us meeting up sometime soon, possibly middle of February, just to beat the winter blues.

My proposal is to meet up in South Bend, IN at the National Studebaker Museum and then go out for burgers and beers afterwards. There's a couple places to chose from at different price points, but that's something we can figure out if there's enough interest.

I chose this location because it's in a centralized location for people from IL, IN, MI, and OH. It takes me 2.5 hours to get there. We just need to figure out if we want to go on Saturday or Sunday.

I've been trying to find a reason to check out the museum. I figured why not with a bunch of car guys.

So what say ye?

UPDATE

This is the event:

Date: February 20th, 2015

Time: 12:00pm EST

Location: Studebaker National Museum 201 Chapin St, South Bend, IN 46601

The admission price is $8.00 for Adults, Kids $5.00 and under 5 are Free.

Lunch Location: Scotty's Brewhouse 4340 N Main St, Mishawaka, IN 46545

http://www.scottysbrewhouse.com/index.php?src=directory&view=Locations&src...

We will meet at the museum at 12:00 pm Eastern. This should give people who are coming farther distances to get on the road at a decent hour.

After everyone has had their fill of the museum, we will head over to Scotty's Brewhouse in Mishawaka for a late lunch.

If people wish to stay the night in the area, you are more than welcome. I will not be, but Aussie has taken that on, so he will coordinate that along with a place to go in the evening to drink and possibly have a birthday party.

As for a car show, being the middle of February, I don't know if people want to bring their cars out in the weather for that, but if you want to, you're more than welcome.

In case of inclement weather, we will have a Rain Date of March 5th. Check back to this thread to make sure that it's still on.

I'm only 45 min. away East of there so count me in. I can try and scout something out for restaurants too. The last 2 weekends of Feb. are bad for me though. I'll be out of town then.

Potentially in, depending on what the exact weekend is. Oh, and if I have a car to get there.

Ok, so there's already enough interest to make this happen. Kids are definitely welcome, I'm just going to have to change up where we go to eat. There's mostly 21+ Bars and such downtown, so we may have to go up to Mishawaka where there are more family friendly restaurants, which is about 15 minutes away. If anyone has any restaurant suggestions, please post it. I imagine most of us want to be on the cheaper side of things.

I'm letting you guys decide the weekend by votes. Saturday will be the day since several people mentioned it.

The days I'm suggesting are Feb 6th, 13th, 20th, or 27th.

My vote is for the 13th. Yeah it's the day before Valentines, but that's payday weekend for me.

Bit of a haul for me, but if it's a weekend I'm not on call, I'm game.

Put me in the maybe column.
Perhap we can get an Ohio Turnpike car-pool going.
I'll offer up The Challenge Q45 which makes for a pretty good turnpike cruiser.

Edit:
I'm not much of a romantic but I see that the Saturday of Valentines weekend could be a hard sell. Not to mention that if you are thinking of restaurant plans near dinner time, that is one of the busiest restaurant days of the year.
