Default Michigan Guys

Is there anyone as bored as I am. There is seriously nothing to do around here. Im 20mi west of Lansing but there are no cool cars around me not even a sweet mustang or two. I havnt seen a car that could come close to hanging with me, and im only running low 13's. I dont need to race, I know i have the track for that but is there anything car related to do in Michigan on a Saturday for christ's sake. Im tired of being bored and going to movies all of the time, what do you guys do?

It depends on where you are at, but in the eastside there seems to be a TON over there every time I go to that area and on the westside it's pretty bland but there are still quit a few stangs and f-bodys to play around with, but not much rice to pick on. Another cool club is www.michiganspeed.com . As for 1/4mi tracks the westside has the best tracks IMO Mid MI Motorplex in Stanton and US131 dragway in Martin are the popular ones here.
