Yeah property taxes are high but the houses are much cheaper than Va. I just built a house and moved in last month. Summers are hot but it's very nice in the spring and fall. If I could only find a job that was closer to my house everything would be perfect. How are things up there?

Good. I got a house over on 47th right near ODU. Real estate market got crazy for a while, but it's starting to correct itself.

The game is a little different over here than it used to be. The serious guys have some really nice cars.

I've learned thorough the years that logic is lost on a significant portion of the Hondaboy generation.

That being said, it's always amusing to hear someone talk shit about their Honda. It always starts out as some argument about how their Honda is so much better/more expensive/better looking or faster than other cars with all the mods they've put on it and then when challenged on all that bullshit, they always fall back to:

"Well, Honda's weren't made to race."

Hilarious...

That's it? Shit, I'll pay them if you promise to move out of state, never come back to Virginia agian and promise to never log back onto this site.

Sweet. The property taxes on the house I was looking at was right around $950/mo.

Coil overs can drop it to where the back wheels have 2" of tuck in the fender...and it still has plenty of travel and doesnt rub at all. Spring kits go from 1" drops all around, to the eibach kit which is 1.8" front and 2" back IIRC.

I havent lowered mine yet, but it will be one of the few mods I do to it. Springs, sways, adjustable Tokico's, exhaust, BOV, wheels/tires, and Stage 1 and my SRT4 will probably be done. That is unless I sell the formula and make the SRT4 fast, in which case I'll probably set it up for open track days @ VIR.

Sold all the cars and I'm not into racing anymore. One day I thought about all the money I had spent on cars and it made me sick. I have another hobby that takes a lot of my time but it would be nice to have a fast car. Just not one of my priorities right now.

Haha...that hobby wouldn't have anything to do with cards and chips, would it?
