Default Ames guys, need some help.

So I attend ISU in Ames, Iowa. In my group of friends, I am really the only car guy. I'm looking for a place to cruise or hangout or anything. I just need to meet some people that are like minded to keep me from going insane.

I think I saw you driving around yesterday or sometime lately. I have a black MKIV supra and I'm graduating this spring. It would be nice to get a good car scene going up here. I see a lot of clean evo's, stangs, camaros, sti's driving around now and then. Just have to weed them out from all the riced out Jap crap that's rolling around.

yeah... for sure. I drive around a ot!

I rolled up behind you at a carwash last year I think and couldn't decide if it was you or not. There's no car scene and it's depressing I saw a couple badass looking 350z's sitting in the friley lot with an evo or something that looks like it lol they looked awesome.

I'll be up in Ames starting the first of December living in the apartments just off of South Dakota near highway 30, east side of South Dakota. We will have to meet up sometime.

There are quite a few asian kids rolling around in brand new cars. Most of them are from China and have lots of mommy money haha. One of them even sold a viper for a 350 because it couldn't drift. If you see a black supra it's mostly likely me so feel free to say hi. I'll be out tonight driving around some after class.

Yeah I usually go up Lincoln way and go to the back roads when I'm feeling adventurous. There's a few mean sounding cobras and camaros around town but have never seen any of them at the tracks or messing around.
