Anyone in the Knoxville area?
 
It looks like Ill be taking a coop job at John Deere in Greeneville. Just looking to see if there are any 7s around and where there is to do between Johnson City and Knoxville.

I'm in Rutledge, about 30 miles NE of Knoxville.

Mindspin311 04-19-06 11:37 PM

Sweet, how close is that to greeneville?

Are there any local autox's nearby?

Go to Solo 2 -> Event Schedule and Directions. As you see we have a forum too for all the latest and greatest news. We have quite a few members in G'ville as well.

I'm in KTown.

I live and work right around downtown Knox Vegas. Free concert tonight in Market Square. There will be lots of cute girls there for all you guys, and vice-versa for any girls on the forum.

DerangedHermit 04-20-06 07:47 AM

I gotta get my car running so we can all meet up sometime. (Good job me shorting out my car by leaving the battery connected while working on it)

KnoxSe7eN 04-20-06 11:34 AM

I am in Knoxville.

frisbeedog 04-20-06 12:08 PM

Hey Hermt,

Were you welding on your car and forgot to unplug the battery? POW

Have you checked all your fusible links?

Good luck with that, and we should all get together some night.
:dubs:

KnoxSe7eN 04-20-06 12:21 PM

Its in the plans. How about May 6th at Hooters in Fountain City around 1pm.

RotaryResurrection 04-20-06 12:51 PM

Greeneville and Mosheim area (where you will be) blow goats. That area is one of the most backward, redneck, old fashioned places around here ,along with newport. There is nothing at all to do in that area. Good news, cost of living is fairly low there.

Most people go to johnson city, kingsport, and bristol for clubs and shopping...I'm unsure that there's any real automotive scene up there though.

Yea, I believe you when you say they area sucks. Lucky that autox region has a lot of events right where Ill be living so that is nice. Im trying to get a place closer to Johnson City since ETSU is in the area.

Damn alternator...

Just saw a Silver FC on UT campus. It had an aluminum wing on the back. Who's the dipshit...?

KnoxSe7eN 04-21-06 03:36 PM

I think I have seen said car.

Did you also shed a tear?

KnoxSe7eN 04-21-06 04:11 PM

No but I did shake my head in disappointment and sighed.

RotaryResurrection 04-21-06 07:06 PM

That's my daily driver. The wing is there so that when it floods, I can just pushstart the car by the wing and not get the paint dirty. why all the hate? :rofl:

KnoxSe7eN 04-21-06 07:48 PM

So thats why you are getting rid of the FD :D

halfshaft5 04-21-06 08:44 PM

I am just south of K-Town about 1 hour or so. Got 2 sevens now so plans are big, several good spots around me to ride and the dragon is good too but watch out for the crotch rockets, they run that dang thing hard and fast. Tried to keep up and did good for a while but lost traction in a S curve so I backed off so I didn't kill my R1 right after the new paint. Welcome and lets get a weekend ride together in mid June!

God bless

Makes sense. I wonder how much they cost... I've been looking for a good upgrade for my 7. I'm torn between a good exhaust system and a triple deck aluminum wing. Hell, if I can pushstart the car with it, fuck the exhaust.

Where-abouts downtown? I live across Henley Street bridge, about 2 miles from campus.

golferfreddie 05-17-06 07:28 PM

He is talking about Sundown in the city. Every thursday night during the summer they do free outdoor concerts in Market square. Go across the Henley St bridge and take a right. Find somewhere to park near Gay st and follow the music.

I am in maryville by the way, about 20 minutes south of K-town.

LizardFC 05-18-06 02:05 AM

Hey, don't forget to add me to that list! Knoxville - 87 TII, 85 GSL... anyone going to Sundown tonight? I'll be there, but I'm not bringing any RX-7's near downtown. No way.

I meant where does he live (specific address and the location to a spare key preferably). :molepoke:

I know where Sundown is... what kind of college student would I be if I didn't? :)
