That exhaust is intense, btw. It sounds louder than mine was when I drove it without a muffler. Did you hook an amplifier to your downpipe??
Oh that would make sense. Lol I didnt recognize you without the black eye haha. Umm no that's just my catback haha it's pretty loud. I cant wait to hear it in WOT. It really amplifies the sound of the turbo spinning too. even though I'm not really even spooling it yet. haha

You've seen Rob with a black eye? This makes me laugh.

No. I was talking about another SVX driver who was late to work. Racing is such a strong word. Let's just say, driving faster than everyone else.

In Reno, you can drive 5 under the limit and still be "driving faster than everyone else". I swear I'm the only person that wants to get where I'm going... except at a stop sign. If you actually stop, there's a 50/50 shot you'll get rear-ended by the guy behind you that was just going 15 under the limit.

Reno is weird like that at times especially on 395. I am flying past other cars and am just at or near 65... Then there is the 50MPH section everyone drives 60 on...

Stop sign thing is true too. Reno loves stop signs. There is a Y right near my house where a single yield on 1 leg is all that is needed, but no, it has 2 stop signs instead which most everyone ignores.

I feel like an asshole for trying to maintain 65 on the freeway here. 395 drivers are the worst.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who notices how slow everyone drives here. Scott, that's exactly how I feel about it, too. Get the eff out of the way, I wanna get where I'm going.

+1 for Reno drivers, especially on 395. Heading toward Stead, everyone thinks it's a good idea to crowd to the two left lanes and drive 55 up the hill. I fucking hate it so much.

I'm pretty sure I saw Alex at Hiroba at dinner tonight. I think he looked right at me and didn't see me.

You're talking about when you were behind me at the light on McCarren turning west on Glendale? I took it easy from the light, and you were right behind me, I got up to legal speed and backed off for the turn onto Stanford. At least I don't think I was speeding??

Onto McCarren from Greg though, did that the other day from Texaco on my way home at about 6, and was actually really mellow, 2500 shifts, under speed limit as I was pulling away from everyone driving Miss Daisy.

Saw Cody on 395 north to Stead lat night. Followed him a few cars back in the left lane for a few miles, and we passed each other a couple times before I got off at Stead Blvd.


Cody, I wasn't trying to get you to let me past, jsyk, I was just pacing you to keep myself under control

I know what it's like to drive 395 to Stead and have jackasses tailgate for 10 miles, and to tailgate for 10 miles so didn't want to come off as a dick without intending it is all

I have no issues with being accused of driving fast, I do it all too often. That said, driving "way too fast" on 395 to/from Stead is driving the speed limit apparently
