I enjoy (the drive to Austin via hwy 308 and various backroads) meeting and cruising the cool twisties of the hill country with EVOs and anyone else that loves driving.
Im sure that you will be here in a weekend with this meet so we will be talking about it this saturday.

I knew Austin was liberal, but c'mon guys--don't get your panties in a bunch! We all own Evo's....can't we all just get along?!
From my personal experiences the quickest and coolest rides are in Houston. They have some very quick rides in H town. I don't think either Dallas, Austin, or SA can compete with those guys.

From my past in the domestic scene the money has always been in Houston and Dallas. Then again, the import scene can differ greatly as the demographic usually varies greatly from the big boys. The funny thing about S.A. in particular is that the really fast cars are those that you never see or hear much from. The guys who step out in the lime light are usually jokes at best.

Maybe you just need to go to the right places to find said fast cars. There are quite a few fast EVO's in town. Why have you not been coming out to any of the meets?

I believe your thinking of Jackie Chan in Cannonball Run, in his subaru, although I do have comparable martial art skills.

I was at crown in the silver one, but I don't know who was driving the blue one. I see two blue ones in the san jac garage all the time.

What color is your mr2? What are you doing your graduate work in?
