Hey guys. I'm super glad I found a car forum for the location of my new place of employment starting within next few months. I just graduated from University of Toledo in Toledo, OH and accepted an offer from a company in Atlanta, GA. Accepting this and forcing me to move so far has been the biggest decision in my life so far. I'm 22 years old and one of my biggest passions in life is cars, bikes, anything that runs and I'm super mechanically inclined. I owned quite a few cars and bike throughout high school and college including MazdaSpeed Protege, '06 Civic Si, SRTurd-4, an LS1 F-body Camaro, W8 Passat, CBR 600RR, 636 Ninja, etc. Funds got tight in college so I currently rock a '92 minty fresh, rust-free Honda Civic sedan as a DD, and have an '03 Yamaha R1 for nice days.
Here's a few pics.

Tuning the pig a week ago:
Probably going to sell my Civic since new job offers a brand new 2012 Taurus as a company vehicle, but will definitely be bringing the bike down with me. Toledo, OH's car scene sorta sucks and there aren't really any good twisty roads for spirited cycle driving so I'm looking forward to moving. I mapquested "Tail of the Dragon" from ATL and found out it's about 2.5 hours away which is SICK. However.. whenever I watch "Bait Car" on TV, it is filmed in Atlanta, and I don't want my shit stolen! Basically I'm looking to network/meet people before I even move down there which is why I'm writing this today. I only know 1 girl from GA Tech who recommended finding an apartment INTOWN in Atlanta in either Midtown, Virginia Highlands, or Buckhead.. Are these good places within the city to live? 22 years old, recent college grad, want to live near other young professionals. Any apartments offer separate garages (since I'm bringing my bike)?
Thanks guys. Looking forward to the weather and meeting new people once I make the move.
