We are outnumbered here!

All I ever see our subi's.

As for other evo's theres a yellow one that races at OVR. I saw a black 8 about a month ago. But its very uncommon to see them here. I get alot of people rubber necking to see mine, and every gas fillup becomes a car show for people who dont see them much.
cool factor +2

That blows!!!
My parents live in the Hilliard/Dublin area...well I think thats what it's called.
The cops were out to get me while I was in town. They kept following me every where.
I live in the Chicago area. A few miles down from AMS. so there are tons of evos around here.
Crap, that really sucks though!!!!!

I saw a blue wrx on the highway....i think it was some what close to Polaris Mall. Thats the only decent import I saw around the area. A lot of people tried to **** around with me that had Honda's with fart cans haha. Then I rolled down my window and they realized it's a girl driving with a 30r ahaha and the looks on their faces were priceless.

I get that, I think there is a tuner scene here but I am relatively new to the area.

I havent really seen much other than vettes and a couple of exotics, and alot of subi's. The highways are heavily patrolled and dublin is probably one the worst for traffic tickets in the state. Most high speed blast for me are soon followed by a hard braking period as I hit either the traffic or the cops. Much better to go 'play' in the rural areas that are only 20 minutes out of the belt There are some very nice roads north of town...

Mostly I play on the AX courses tho. its almost enough

Being from Chicago, I'm use to doing 80 on the highways.

There's 2 day autox GASS event at cooper stadium (mound street off of 70w) columbus. If anyone is interested better get in early and pre-reg. if your already SCCA then its 40-45 bucks for the weekend. I guess that GASS is the tour for better drivers to school the locals But I am not sure. I dont plan on seeing a trophy this weekend. My small adjustments have made me slower and slower so I am going back to my 'lose by a little set' and trying to hit my marks better.

Heres the link:

Wow, another Gallowegian! I'm in Westchester. I've never seen another Evo in the south-west, usually just around Dublin. Though I did just see a BBY at the NAPA on Huntley (near the brewery) last week.

Well if i bring my car maybe you'll see me around. all i do when I'm in town is go to Chick-fil-a everyday because we dont have one up here and drive my little sister around to her friends house. I dont like driving my car out around dublin and hilliard a lot because the cops follow me like crazy.
I definitely dont need anymore tickets.
I was on 70 and going 75 and I got pulled over. Stupid chick cop was about to give me a ticket and I just said in Chicago everyone goes 75-90, so she let me go.

It's kind of funny because when I pulled up in my parents driveway and all the high school boys ran up and were asking me all sorts of questions about my car. I just said it was stock hahahaha
Hey, if you see a new black skyline in september in town wave, it's my dad (^_^)
