Default Chattanooga TN

So finally got to where Im in Chattanooga Sunday through Thursday. I still work at my old job on Thursday Friday Saturday night but wont be like that but for a few months until I find something stable here.

Im curious if there is a "spot" anywhere.. Just to hang out, look for races, whatever. Right now ll I do is go make a pass or two around down town then come back.
Any local cruise ins, car shows, etc..

Were in red bank about 4-5 minutes from down town..

I have my car buddies back home and we constantly go cruise some where to eat or whatever.. Just trying to find some locals around here to grab a beer, meet new people, etc.

Also if anybody knows anybody hiring part time Sunday through Wednesday to give me something to do those days or a good full time job it would be nice..

Missed this bump man.. Hixon is about 15-20 minutes from our place I believe.

We're at the red bank exit (I think it is the one you are speaking of).. Right by the turnabout, Mountain Creek. I have seen several cars pass but don't see anyone sitting anywhere.

I wouldn't even mind finding some small bar and 5-6 of us meet up for some beers or appetizers/etc..

This Phil.. I would love to but that is about a 2.5 hour haul IIRC.

Unfortunately I wrecked my car last week. The GF still has her Z28 though.
I am about to buy an Xcab truck (let me know if you know of one) for a DD and then start looking for a white FRC C5.

Only thing is its $10 to get in which aint much but ima check out red bank exit tomorrow then I drive the red ws6 idk if you remember but caleb does. As for your Xcab truck for a DD i can ask a round and get back to ya my dad knows where to get them cheap, if your are interested.

That works for me.. That is about 20 minutes from the house.

10$ kinda blows but we could do it once every other week or something.

Hell yea man.. Just now clicked, MacArthur! It has been a while!! He mentioned something about you moving into the Chattanooga area a few weeks ago actually.

I haven't really noticed any bars right at her exit... But between there and down town, there is a tunnel.. Right after the tunnel there are 2-3 small bars with decent parking lots. It is literally about 2 minutes from Down town (aquarium)... But wouldn't have to pay for parking/etc..

Seriously let me know about the truck... I am looking to buy ASAP... Would like to stay around 5K... Extended cab 5.3 99-02 with under 200K on it preferred.. I will consider anything though.

I'm from Chattanooga, but currently stationed in Little Rock, AR, but if you want some good car crowds with a little bit of street action, you need to drive up to Cleveland. That's where it's at. That and Brainerd drag strip, and Tennessee Speed Sport.
