Now they have 3-4 patrol cars daily, all day watching that 1/2-3/4 mile.

People now literally have to do 25mph or their getting pulled over. Before even when i wasnt speeding, the normal speed i go on that road regularly is like 50mph. Its gonna be hard adjusting.

back in the day, route 21 used to be a good speeding spot.. but bad pavement these days....

tell you the truth, west 80 goin towards 287 is pretty good, aside from the 4 spots where cops usually hide (right by 46/80 exchange, by pine brook on the little bridge/turnaround, 46/287 interchange, and the 5 lane spread around the mountain towards rockaway).... they usually are just lazy and leaving the radar on, so if your detector bleeps, just slow down, other than that... free to go

you probably scared that old lady with your courtesy. people don't talk to strangers out here in jersey.

check out the local forum. www.importfanatix.com. like every forum, it's got its share of ******** on it as well. but there are good people on there too.

besides that, being out in a new place by yourself sucks. and its winter now, so car meet activity and **** will be low. but i'll shoot you a pm if anything comes up. check here and on ifx for local activity. otherwise, welcome to jersey.

Yeah, you cant speed there but Rt.7 is always open when I drive down there. It only sucks when you get stuck behind a slow truck though.

I take the local weather forcasts with a grain of salt.

I survived the last two blizzard warnings quite fine.

LOL o hell nah, i didnt live by there, **** that. That place is a damn jungle. My friend lived on parampo ave, a block from the walgreens there and that was the only times i ever go down that area.

I lived in the decent area of the heights. If you know/knew where standard tile is on the blvd, then i lived 3 blocks from there, off kennedy.

But thank god im out of that jungle and into a relatively better area. Its still really close to JC but its like night and day where i live now and JC. The people, the neighborhood, the girls lol. I like it here.

Idk about the others but i like 8s.

But i dont feel like dragging myself and my car in 25-30 degree weather just to see about 5-7 cars i see all the time everyday (no offense to 8 owners).

Now if its a huge meet where every single week there are tons of cars, ranging from all different models, exotics to imports, to this, to that, then im sure you will get alot of showings from people on this forum and especially me.

When the weather gets warmer and people see there are more than just the same 8's and 2 FC's, then im sure you guys will get more people.
