Anyone else got Georgia on their mind ... and in their backyard? :D

Since nobody else created a post, here I am.

I live about a mile away from the capital building in Atlanta.

I'm in Lafayette GA, That's Walker county which borders TN and AL. Anyone planning on hitting some cruise ins this year. We have done one in Cartersville on the 1st Sat. Dalton on the 2nd Sat. Canton on the 3rd Sat. and Cleveland TN on the 4th Sat. All of these bring out a couple hundred cars and trucks and they are all free! If you haven't ever gone to these you should check them out. No judges to impress, most are very laid back. I have seen everything from trailered show cars to rusty primered beaters at these events. I hope to see some of you guys there!

Hey there, I live just north of the perimeter around the Chamblee Dunwoody Area of 285. Also, PanelDeland lives in Marietta and he's real active on the board.

I suppose there are enough of us here in the ATL area to have a truck meet, eh?

Anybody got a location for one? we could do a fundraise for Children's HealthCare of Atlanta or some other worthy charity...

thoughts??

Woog, check out garages that work on race cars. That's where I got my exhaust done for about 1/2 the price regular muffler shops wanted. And it was done in the same day (few hrs.) that I dropped it off. It was in Dahlonega off 400.
