Welcome to the fold. I hope you like BBQ, football, and humidity!

If you like whiskey the Jack Daniels Distillery is close. They give free tours and have a $10 taste test tour as well. The town itself is very small but the surrounding areas have plenty of rolling hills and nice driving roads. There is usually a group of us from central AL that take the trip once or twice a year.

What is the dragon? If it is not a straight line deal I can't do it. 15x10 in the rears and 15x4 up fronts.

Ahhh you are just South of here, yeah for now the Z28 is still at my parents house in CA till we get a house here.

Hell yea welcome to the good ole state of TN!!! Go Vols first and foremost! Vandy sucks period! Also Chattanooga has some great things you can do if you're tired of the Nashville area and Knoxville, Memphis, and Bristol as well. Hope you like off roading as well its huge in TN plus you are actually near the Tv show called Power Block TV check that out on Saturday's and Sunday's on Spike TV. They are based in your area. There is plenty of hiking trails, amazing golf courses, Dollywood, pigeon forge etc...

I will be 4 wheelin I just picked up an 04 F250 6.0 Powerstroke that's been bullet proofed and the truck is in great shape. It has 162k miles and has the FX4 package I paid $12.5k for it and can't wait to hit some trails.
