Well thanks for the compliment man, makes me feel good.

Yeah I live real close there in Bloomingdale. We should meet up sometime, I'm heading to the Dragon next Friday with some others from here if you'd be interested in going. Ever been?

Yeah 421 is fun, been up there a thousand times, almost arrested once in my old car. I work Monday or I'd go.

Jefferson forest? Where's that? Never been on the other road you mentioned either. I don't drive too crazy in general either way anymore. Almost died once after a friend who thought he could drive slammed me into a wooden power pole.

I get off work at 8 tonight and don't really have anything to do if you'd like to hang out somewhere.

Www.fullthrottleforums.com is the local forum around here...not as busy as it used to be but I've been on there since '05...its a good way to keep up with the little that goes on here.

Jefferson is tighter than the dragon.. just not nearly as long... about 5 min for the longest section. And I have video of the rogersville road on my evo thread.. not a tight road but smooth with wide sweepers. Tonight is a wash for me.... im in dayshift mode.. ill be asleep by 9:30 :P... Im on the Eastman swings.... but if you're off 8 on monday we could all meet up afterwards and review the footage I ran with X on the downhill... i assume the nismo will be no different .. *fingers crossed*

White sucks to keep clean...mine is filthy right now cause I've been sick but I still love the way it looks. Wouldn't be happy with any other color. Had to wait nearly 3 months for this one. I do like the new gunmetal-ish color...that's about the only other color I'd have.

Milano Red would be ok but a distant 3rd favorite.

Oh & thanks again for the compliment. I really did no homework on "fitment", it just worked out.

Bought a few hi-res pics from different photographers who have been on the Dragon the last few times I've been down.. I think Photobucket automatically re-sizes pics unfortunately.

You need to drive more. I'm at 48k and mine's a year newer.

Trips to Chattanooga, Asheville, Miami, etc. didn't help.

I would say over half of those miles were acquired in the first 8-10 months lol...I drove it everywhere. Trust me, nobody wants to be on the road more than this guy. Farthest its been though is northern Alabama. I'd love to drive to Miami, I've always wanted to see it lit up at night.

I did go over to Asheville 2 weekends ago though, its one of my favorite places to go...love it. Had somebody in a gd blow at me downtown near Mellow Mushroom (the reason why I go to Asheville ), that was pretty cool.

Don't really have the funds to take it far anymore though. I've struggled quite a few times just paying my monthly payment, but oh well.

So an occasional trip to the Dragon & Asheville is just gonna have to work until my $ situation improves. Both are only a little over an hour away, luckily.

I have 39500 miles on my GD3 and have had it since July 14 2006... I go weeks without driving it at times but make up for it with nice little runs with the throttle wide open.

I've never been to the Mellow Mushroom in Asheville but my parents tell me it's always a show there. I'll be back in two weeks for the candlelight tour at the Biltmore and I'll make a note to swing by Mellow for a meal!

I've never had a bad meal from there. There's a MM a lot closer to me in Johnson City but its half as good, at most. Definitely worth it.
