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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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, **** the exhaust.

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

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.

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