    Well. If you're THAT into the whole car scene.

    I think you should accept the fact that, if you think this: you have the best car out of all people in your area, and stay.

    Since you drive a beamer and all.

    But what's the point of driving a nice car if there are no other enthusiasts around to enjoy it with???

    100%. As in your case, I'd be grateful. You have the opportunity to go to several different spots and see different shit. Here in Atlanta, you go to a meet and see the same cars day in and day out. I'd rather live far away and know when you come to a meet that you'll probably something different.

    And also, my car involvement isn't so deep that it's going to affect where I plan to spend the rest of my life. I wouldn't give up a great place to live in order to be closer to "the scene." Later, QD.

    There is plenty of variety in the Atlanta car scene. Don't go to the same meets all the time. Get on as many different boards as you can and see where all the groups are doing stuff.

    If you want to be somewhere with a car scene, move to San Francisco or Los Angeles. If you do, let me know. I'll set you up with some people.

    I hope you're kidding... So you're into the car scene for the attention or something? I personally could care less about hanging out and talking about cars, I like driving, that doesn't require other enthusiasts.

    GA has a good car scene though so..

    Actually, it's a lot more fun when you're in a caravan and running shit together. Soooo much more fun.

    Not if you're faster then everyone else and nobody can keep up. lol jk.

    It is fun to do a mountain run or something with a friend or two.

    HOWEVER, I use to spend at least two days a week doing mountain runs alone and never had a problem not having another enthusiast with me. Meets are fun, I like hanging out with friends, but we rarely talk about cars.

    I know what you mean. I've been on cruises with stupid fast cars. I thought my car was quick, but when you're following TT'd Vipers, you ain't got shit lolol. If I kind a car scene wherever I'm at every week, I end up tagging along in my rental. You should have seen me following two of my friends in LA. F430 spider, F360 spider, and an SL63 comes up to play. I'm in an '10 Maxima rental car. I wish I would have had my car out there, it would have so much more fun.

    Yeah, Murcis are too fast for me. Thanks, man. You have the E30 325 and the E39 M5, right? I love bimmers, especially older ones.

    Ah, still, nice car for sure. Besides, the E39 M5s are a maintenance nightmare, from what I hear.
