colorado springs looks like a nice place to be im looking forward to going there. this is going to be my first assignment in the states. been stuck here in korea for a year but its not too bad here. wouldnt want to live here personally. I read up somewhere that the cab isnt going to be active till 2014 or so. how is the housing there? (assuming you live off post) I looked into on post housing but didnt really like what i read about them plus the the letter i got reccomended to live off post. I checked out the air force academy housing, you know anything about it?

Thank god!, its hard enough to pass already. Does colorado springs have you test for emissions? From what i put together it looks like only certain areas of CO require a test.

No... This is the only forum I'm on. From what I have seen over this past weekend the car scen here is disappointing, I don't know if it's just the weather or what but not a single 10 sec car was spotted this whole weekend. A bunch of fan boy cars is all I saw

Most of the springs cars are not setup for drag racing but as canyon carvers.
