So much hate on the WRX.. Why did you buy another one after the blue one you had??
Because I got a better deal on it, and the blue one was getting lots of miles put on it, 35k in one year.

Want a low mileage Si? I have one. J/K. Just had to replace the rear bearings. 161K. It depends on how the hpde goes as to which car I will be in. It will prob be the si.

- Rented a C8 for a week (what a monster) ended up buying a TLX. Beautiful car inside and out. Killer stereo. Handles better than it should given its weight. Not my dream car, just a Honda Accord in a tux.

- Sedan with the backseat of a two-seater
On my list -- "Warwoman Road" which is Clayton, GA to GA-28. Here's the super twisty 3-mile stretch:

I'd let him drive the G35, I'll have decent tires on it this year.

We decided to buy previously-owned:
A 1997 Audi A4 1.8T for Jill
and a 2000 Volvo S70 Turbo for me
Not Dragonslayers, but they will get us there so we can hang out with you guys!!

We were on Warwomen Rd last year as part of the N. GA drive on Friday. Although it's very hard to recognize from the super slow viewpoint of a motorcycle!

I think you should start planning the Friday group drive etf
I'll keep it in mind this year to get on the road much earlier than last year.

The first N/GA run was much longer and more intense, the front tires on my blue WRX looked like I just did a track session with them.

I'd like to lead another N/GA run and I think the route from 2 years ago would be fun to repeat (with a few changes). My dilemma is my car. I'm not sure that a 13-year old Volvo with crap tires is good enough to lead the run. But, with some planning, we could put a faster car up front as long as they were clear on the route. I know that Jrotax101 is very familiar with the N/GA roads, has a very quick M3 and IMO is the best driver in the group. So, I think that he would be the one. Only if he wants too, of course. Another option would be to let me lead in some one else's car(s). I could do a portion of the drive in one, then switch to another and so on. Regardless I think that a Fri. group run has become a great tradition of this meet and I need to plan one for this year.

The M3...uh...ha...jrotax101
If it runs, you can take it, E.T. Keep it in 4th gear under 3000 rpm and you'll still have to wait up for people :P
The roads you plan on driving, I plan on riding. I want to climb wolf pen gap up to suches and back down..
Soon..
