I'm in Auburn, but I don't drive the T/A down here much. I think I've seen your car around here a couple of times. The f-bodies are few and far between. Mustang-fest here lol.

Just graduated a year ago from AU. Get on the local car club forum www.aspeedracing.com . There are couple of other vette/f-body guys on there amongst all of the other members.

Black chevy truck lol I drive the T/A down here sometimes. Firebird stays garaged back home. I haven't seen that blue vette yet. There's a red C6 Z06 and a black C6 with ccw sp505 wheels on it running around somewhere. I saw the red one a few nights ago, but I haven't seen the black one this semester. We need to cruise over to the parking deck next to the stadium on Tuesday night sometime. I went through there one night before I had the cam and all. Bunch of imports, but there were some newer mustang GTs. Not sure if they still hang out over there or not.

I'm not going home this weekend b/c of the home game, but I'll probably bring the T/A down the next weekend.

Would it happen to be you in the work truck on campus asking me what I had done to my car? lol

I had someone pull up next to me and ask if I had ever been to the drag strip somewhere down here, etc. We were stopped at the train tracks on college and between the train and the cam/true-duals, I couldn't hear much

Yeah, I alternate b/t the WS-6 and the 99 Ford Explorer. Surprisingly enough, i get better gas mileage from the Explorer (must be the cam, but it's knocked me down to under 15mpg-->then again, there's nothing but stop and go on campus so that might be it, because i get bounds better on the interstate).

Hit me up next week about the parking deck, i've heard about it and would love to just give it a go.

Anyways, I'm going back to Memphis at the end of this month and will probably bring back the explorer just to save some money on gas, but Evelin (that's her name) will be back for the holiday season and following.

Nope, that wasn't me. But it sounds like something I would've done though, lol!! I always wondered if there was a car scene in Auburn. I always see Acura RSXs, Cobras, and other things driving around. There's one neighborhood that I've been in and saw a guy with both a silver SS and I think a white TA. Do any of you guys have any specific hang out spots down there? Me and some friends have been thinking of coming down there to mess around.

Yeah, that's me and my roommate (mine being the white one).

The only thing i know of is a generic car enthusiast meeting every Tuesday at one of the parking garages on campus. Feel free to let me know if you're in town and we'll cruise with you, 's and everything.

I would ride the parking deck, but I'd feel out of place in my truck

I could always walk. I live a couple blocks away

Me, my brother, and some friends used to come through there quite a bit, to party with some friends that went to school there. Haven't been through there in awhile..... there were some nice cars out there. My little brother has some friends out there with some NASTY S.R.T 4s, a couple of cool F-body people I saw... a guy named Craig with a bad *** 3rd gen. RX-7 with a LS6 in it with a cam and ported 243s, that car is a BEAST!

^^^ don't get too excited... we are always overrated in my opinion.

Funny that the only difference I noticed tonight w/o our offensive coordinator is Cody Burns... who, i mean, as everyone saw definitely put on a better show than Todd
