I wish.

Hi Tyson, welcome to 2007! Tapes schmapes I always say.


I forgot you live so far away now.

I knew you could find some excuse to boycott/protest our change of venue... :P

I'll be there tonight!!

Damn, I can't make it...i have a physics review session at 6-8. So who knows when I will make it to the next meet. I will be at autocross on the 6th and 7th though.

No hes afraid hed get balled up on the court by us white folk.

I'm sure you'll talk less crap after I break both your ankles with my crossover!!! :lol:

Really: No chicken+some other crap I could be doing+really far away= No black guy at the meet.

I really like the new spot guys, good to see everyone again.

thanks for the cool Spa lanyard Matt!

Plus 1 on that.

Thanks a ton.

Aww... I don't show up, and there's Frickin' door prizes!? :lol:

I still have one for you.

Very Nice! [/borat]

This might not be the correct thread to post this in, but i wanted to say hello to you all.

I recently purchased my first new car, an '08 WRX, and was wondering when your next meeting was so i could come and say hi and introduce myself. I live in Minden but work in Tahoe, and let me tell you, the car community down here in Minden is lacking at best.

Hope to hear from you soon...and if there is an appropriate thread to fully introduce myself, could someone please point me in the right direction?

Welcome to SECCS. I think your the first 08 to post here. Meets are on thursdays at like 7ish.

that works perfectly...i honestly work most thursdays, but i am off this one so i shall drop by...See yall then!

Wow, a new member that uses proper grammar! Amazing, and welcome.

Welcome to the club!

A lot of members introduce themselves with an entirely new thread, but this is just as good a place as any!

welcome man.

hehe, yeah......product of a perfect English SAT score and a desire once upon a time to be a journalist. right now i'll take anything with a decent sized paycheck, which dealing blackjack provides.

you should come test that 08 out at the AutoX this weekend.

Welcome Badrover. This your first Scooby?

I saw my first 08 WRX in person yesterday. It was a WRB sedan and the occupants all waved at me. :D

Do you drive the new silver wrx through Minden?? I see a silver 08 WRX all the time when i leave work.

Sam and Max FTW, badrover. Welcome. :)

Oh, and I'll actually be at the meet this week, for all who care :P

Oh snaps.

Yeah, I think I've only been to two or three in the last year. Apparently autocross isn't the only thing babies are ruining. :lol:

Are you calling me a baby?

Looks like I'm gonna have to come down for this one! I don't think I'd even recognise you anymore!

Cool. :) I think you still haven't heard my car with all the exhaust bits on!

<---- I think you've missed the quote in my forum profile. :P

Haha im just kidding man. I saw that, I was just asking since I am sorta the 'baby' of the group. Besides Moose maybe.

yeah...that would be me....I get to drive Kingsbury Grade 4-5 times a week to go to work. It really is a fun drive and a great way to get to know a car

Good way to wear out your tires too. I used to make that drive in my STi, and it killed my tires pretty quick.

Yeah when I got my STi I had classes up in South Lake and I had to drive it twice a week in the snow!!!

Dang I think I'll have to miss the Office this week.

this may be true, but this is my first Subaru...my previous car was a '93 Toyota MR2, so the handling is quite different in this big Scoobie (and yes, big is the term i use because the MR2 was so damn small) so i need to get to know it better...if that costs me a set of tires, meh...no biggie. There are a lot more expensive things to wear out on a car than tires.

That being said, when I finally meet you face to face, I will tell you my best time coming down that road. From the top of Daggett Pass to the Stop sign.

Oh yeah, one more thing. The worst I ever did going up that hill at 3am in the morning, was I used up about 5/8ths of a tank of gas. LOL.

Personally I recommend not trying to match times of an STi in a WRX on RE92s. ;)

True, my bad.

RE92s will last a good while as long as they're not attached to the car when it goes flying off the road. :lol:

i honestly dont know what my best time is. Every time i drive home from work, there is always someone on the road all freaked out about the hairpin and doing about 20 mph through it. its a bit frustrating, but my downhills are definitely faster than my uphills. I think i am going to start lightening the car up for faster downhills.

faster uphill is much easier on your tires and brakes...but then again it sounds like you really dont care.

also much safer IMO because you have gravity helping you slow down but then again I don't like to go balls out on roads like that.

i think i have driven on that road more than any other in my life, whether it was riding with a family member or driving it myself. By no means am i a master of it per se, but i feel comfortable going fast either uphill or downhill on that road. but you are right, and i have been thinking about it. Uphill would probably be the best choice for this car. The downhill suited the MR2 much more honestly because it was already lightweight and the weight balance of the car was such that it did not put as much stress on the front brakes as the WRX does.

Here is another word of advice, those two >25mph turns on the Basin side are not doable at 60mph. Even in my STi. LOL!!!!!

yeah i know....i tried once. little too hairy for my tastes. Fastest i like to go through those turns is about 40.

street racers.

The obvious safety issues aside (or perhaps due to them), I don't know if a public forum is a good place to discuss something like this. . .

Aye. My apologies.

I'm planning on going tonight. People still meet in the parking lot beforehand?

Yup, and bring your snow parka.

Yep.

I wont be there tonight
