Killeen really sucks. Alot of wanna be gangsta's. Your gonna get a kick out of the donks and the people driving them. Killeen got worse (if thats possible) after Katrina hit.

My recommendation is get out of town every chance you get!

I was there back in the late 90's and there was often some "action" down Rancier. There used to be an F-body club in the area that hung out every other weekend...doubt they're still around though.

Agree with the others....Austin is a reasonably short drive away. 6th St is a blast.

I was there a few months ago and did see a LOT of Yo's driving their impalas with huge rims. Its a ghetto looking military town.

I'm sitting on a jobsites right now in Killeen right off 190 so I get to see all the crap that drives through here. Did see a nice red and black c5 zo6 earlier but I've been up here daily for the last week or so on this project and that's the only nice car I've seen drive by. The drivers suck up here too. I set the cruise on 78 and I've got people blowing past me honking their horn like I'm doing 40 then they get around me and slow down. Shitty people in general, I'm glad I get to go back home to Austin every day.
