I'll keep an eye out for you. The only sonics I see lately see to be driven by old ladies.

I live in GR and am in the Zeeland/Holland area quite a bit. I'm surprised I haven't spotted your car yet. Since blacking out my bowties last year, I have developed quite an eagle eye for spotting them on other cars.
I'd definitely remember seeing a black hatch with the same tint as my sedan with blacked out BTs.I'll keep my eyes open for your car as I cruise through the west side.

The Woodward Cruise is coming to fruition. I noticed GM is setting up a display on the east side of Woodward near 13 Mile Road this afternoon.
I will have my Sonic RS at the Walgreen's on Woodward 3 blocks south of Maple Road Saturday as close to 2PM as I can do. There are usually 50 to 100 Corvettes in that parking lot then but I am sure they will not begrudge a Sonic or two.
I will be waering a Chevy Raving black tee shirt and most people believe I look like a refugee from the Haight-Ashbury. Because I do.
Hippy Power!

Heading toward Woodward in the Corvair in a few minutes, just noticed Channel 7 will be broadcasting from the corner of Haynes & Woodward, which is where the Walgreen's is that I will have the Sonic RS at around 2PM. If anyone is out this morning I will be driving a dark green convertible and wearing a black Stetson.

Just got back, only stalled one time. Yesterday I did not go all the way to the Walgreen's but today I did and they are charging $30 to park.
Needless to say, not for me. I will go back in the Sonic and get there about 2PM AND if can park while making a purchase at Walgreen's w/o the $30 charge I will.
I had not noticed the change after the Border's Books closed. In years past one of the Corvette Clubs used part of their parking and there was no charge for book store customers.
I saw a few Sonics on Woodward don't know if I saw Emorejnayr's.

I did park at Walgreen's but only stayed for ten minutes. There were easily 200 empty spaces, which means $30 for the day is too over the top as the $10 and $20 spaces elsewhere looked well occupied.
I am amazed each year seems to out do the previous with some of the most spectacular cars one can imagine on Woodward in one 24 (make that 36) time frame.
I'm done for the day. My left leg was starting to be incompetent and both the Corvair and the Sonic need competency for the clutch.

I live in GR and am in the Zeeland/Holland area quite a bit. I'm surprised I haven't spotted your car yet. Since blacking out my bowties last year, I have developed quite an eagle eye for spotting them on other cars.

Interesting, where do you normally drive? I live right downtown Zeeland and work downtown GR right by Van Andel. I'm beginning to see more and more Sonics around town (especially GR) but to date, I've never seen another One with Mods besides meeting up with Laborsmith and my own. Ill deff keep a look out for ya!
Do you hang out with any of the local clubs? I'm usually around the West MI Camaro Club a lot and occasionally with a few buddies that drive Hondas but not too often.

I'm not a part of any local clubs, but I wouldn't mind joining. Since you live in Zeeland and work in GR, maybe that was you I saw heading east on 196 near Rivertown Monday morning at 8am? Black hatch with tinted windows, right? I was heading west going to a job appt in Hamilton.
At this time I have no mods, but I'm nearly completely blacked out, including the same rims as Laborsmith. The only chrome I have visible on my car is the rear strip just above the license plate (and of course the perimeter of the bowties). I did have it blacked out with plastidip at one point, but I thought it looked like crap so I removed it. I've been meaning to either paint it with black gloss or use some of the same tape that I used to cover the chrome strips on the doors. Also 35% tint on the front windows and 15% on the rears.

You got it, that was me! Lol I'm usually passing Grandville around 7:50-8:00 am.
Your car looks great! I tried to see if you had a pic in your "garage" but no luck. I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for it though. Normally I would be hitting up the Metro Cruise and Berger Chevy show this weekend but now that I finally have keys to my new house ill be moving. I really recommend stopping by Berger Saturday if your not busy, be some killer rides there and the whole show is run/put on by our Camaro club.
Let me know if your ever around Zeeland on the weekend, love to meet up n shoot the sh*t
I have no local Sonic buddies. Otherwise if someone can get this MI meet plan together we could cruise out with our own small GR possie.

I'll be there with my Sonic. We could have a little impromptu meet and get to see what kind of power our cars make.
