    Congrats to AMS for setting the new record for the world's faster GT-R...8.63 at 172mph. It even lifted the front right tire going down the track. Being here is a bad idea though. Now that I'm in the market again for another car, I have a lot of dirty thoughts going through my head.

    I really really want one. I'm keeping my eye on them for sure although I pretty much know what I'm looking to get next. I want to take a break from boost and enjoy raw all-motor power for a change.

    Being in Houston has made me realize that there are no fast cars in Atlanta. You think you have something until you come here and get your ass handed to you. For example, there is a 1550awhp Gallardo (we'll call him SW). Last night, he got his ass handed to him by a Supra...the Supra's tag just happens to say "SW Killr". Lol. He put four lengths on the Gallardo. As a matter of fact, this Supra beat every TT Gallardo here this weekend.

    All you Newnan guys go like this facebook page when you have the time. Trying to get a decent idea of the car guys in the Newnan area. I really enjoyed coming out and plan on coming out more.

    This last friday night was my first night coming out so you wouldn't know me. My names Mike and im from Lagrange, right now i live in Grantville. Along side a friend of mine were trying to bring the car scene in OUR area together. When i say OUR area i mean Newnan, Franklin, Hogansville, Lagrange...maybe even Columbus. I know the scene in Atlanta is huge but we have some amazing vehicles right here in our own backyards. I would like to see a bigger crowd coming out each and every week for sure and i believe we could do that. Word of mouth is a huge thing with this. We are building an actual website, as one of my close friends is an amazing website designer...it will be for everyone. No discrimination with us, nothing but love. We don't care if your rolling in a Honda or a Ford if your a gear head your welcome. Hop on the facebook and gives a chance man, what harm could it do? Like i said where trying to pull the car community closer together so help us out

    Alright, no Facebook then feel free to bookmark our website. Its under construction right at this moment but will be running full speed in the upcoming weeks. Regardless of if you live in Newnan or not man you can still socialize on the website. Your a gear head right? Then you are welcome!

    ^Like i told you before on Facebook, this is the what we use to keep in touch with the newnan meets as not everyone does Facebook and i don't think anyone else really cares to have more then one website to discuss one topic. Your like Shane coming in here and posting a Sharpsburg meet thread when we all ready had this thread or like him starting the Varsity meet Facebook page when there all ready was one. Just come to the meet, invite your friends and come enjoy yourself.

    I'm going to be honest real quick, regardless of if you guys join or not where still going to do it. I've ALWAYS wanted to bring the scene together on a bigger level. I will continue to come out of course and socialize, i would just like too see that parking lot so full we would have to move to a bigger one. I was just throwing it out there for you guys to check out, where going to be doing build threads also. It's not going to be just a forum, its going to be a full on enthusiast website. We will be doing feature cars and build threads on some of our own shop cars. At this exact moment were building an insane s14, we swapped in a 1uz Lexus v8 w/5 speed swap of course, wire tucked, with a fat 70mm turbo and a custom paint job...oh and its going to be slammed.

    Over the past YEARS, yes we have been meeting for a while, we have moved around many places because we constantly get kicked out of parking lots or places to hang out. So now someone person wants to make this so large and possibly ruin it for everyone? We are on a thing string at the place we meet now, luckily we don't get bothered by the cops because we once had permission. Unfortunately the person that gave us permission no longer works/lives here. Its just fine how the meet is now. Its been like this for a long time and would like to keep it this way.

    If the Newnan meet is not good enough, Varsity is close by.

    I didn't say it wasn't good enough. There's some quality cars there for sure, i really enjoyed that m3 and the bamf hatch making like 600hp lol. I was just trying to make a suggestion, didn't mean to offend anyone at all and i feel like maybe i have done that. I will continue to come out every week i can make it and bring people with me. Once again sorry if i stepped on any toes lol.

    Am I the only one that feels like there's gonna be a large influx of asshats doing stupid shit at the Newnan meets soon?? Sounds like we need to follow through with an invite only meet like we discussed in the past....

    BTW Hellspeaker, thanks for the pm, but I already have my replacement vehicle.

    The one thing you have to be careful of hellspeaker is that you are coming into our "circle" and trying to change things up when you are just new to our crowd. We never offered our meeting spot to such a large crowd, we used to, but since it has gotten more grassroots style, trying to come in and saying "oh ya i want to pack that parking lot to the brim," is no bueno. We did all the leg work to get us where we are and we dont want to ruin it. If you got to know the local crowd at our meets before trying to get a bunch of randoms there it would be greatly appreciated.

    As tommy has said, we get by in the parking lot because we dont do stupid stuff but we are closely monitored by the stores. The current manager of SW doesnt really care (though he does express his disdain for imports from time to time) but its the fitness center who does care.

    I think its cool if more people want to hang out but what bugs me is when they drive from a good distance away and then bitch about how far they drove and no one wants to race. Then proceed to talk shit about how Newnan peeps are bitches and such. As long as everyone knows its a friendly get together and no one is looking to grudge race or do anything stupid like pulling out a weapon or burnouts im totally fine with new people. I wont be a hypocrite and say people dont maybe do a little playful smack talking and riding around but its all friendly and very remote from the meet.

    So its pretty much your shops website with a forum. There are ways you could just use this forum for that or any other car forum. Why not advertise your website on here which is popular among GA car enthusiast already instead of trying to create a whole new website for car enthusiasts? There is a car build and picture section and they attract a lot of views with quality work. Why not use the resources available to you now and build up your website by giving IA members a reason to visit your website?

    So its pretty much your shops website with a forum. There are ways you could just use this forum for that or any other car forum. Why not advertise your website on here which is popular among GA car enthusiast already instead of trying to create a whole new website for car enthusiasts? There is a car build and picture section and they attract a lot of views with quality work. Why not use the resources available to you now and build up your website by giving IA members a reason to visit your website?
    My friend just wanted to build a website with our area in mind and not so much the Atlanta area. You won't have to worry about any of my friends pulling weapons or being assholes, were just car guys who like to talk to other car guys and chill. I also would like too add that our website will me not only be pointed at imports but cars of all makes and models, trucks or bikes. If you have a street legal army tank then your welcome. I know you guys are not on board with it so i am just going to drop it. As far as advertising the shop we will probably be doing that for sure, if you have any work that needs to be done feel free to inbox me and we can dscuss it

    Hell, if you have an army tank at all that would be pretty bad ass in my book lol.
