Planning on making this also. Mine also needs some TLC, as I have been daily driving it in this crappy weather.

Bummer. . .just found out I have to go w/ my bf's family to dinner. But that starts at 8pm and it's right near there, so I can hang out for a little, but can't join you all elsewhere.

By the way - is this the one in Darien or Downer's Grove? Cuz there's a Culver's in both towns. The title of your post it says D.G., but the description says Darien. Lemme know so I don't look like a loser in a parking lot by myself!
