Wow, i didn't think you'd say that. LOL. Nah, just wishful thinking. I wish i could own an MKIV along side the MKV. But see, inflation got me fucked up. Lol

Is that a worse problem on forums now too...? historically those people got banned lol
You’ll see that here too. Let’s be honest, the poorly worded part is everywhere nowadays. The unrelated and inappropriate comments, we’re very guilty of venturing off topic into side conversations. They can be fun but ultimately useless. But it’s a good group for the very most part.

Glad to have you! Also, completely agree about the quality of NC roads. I'm up there a lot, would you mind posting up some of your favorite routes for 100% legal street driving? LOL

Hi guys!

I'm a new member here and trying to get back into the "forum" scene and style of communication. I think the last account I made was on nasioc?!

I feel like so many forums have died off because of facebook groups where people ask poorly written questions and get fed lots of unrelated and inappropriate comments. Car culture as a whole has been damaged by social media with so many people being focused on approval and visual appreciation instead of just buying a car to actually enjoy the driving experience.

A few years ago I started running the long driving routes in TN/NC that the s2ki (s2000 community) mapped out and also frequent the famous "tail of the dragon". The amount of absolutely incredible driving roads in North Carolina continously dumbfounds me and for me this was the reboot I needed to get excited about cars and since then I've bought/built several cars with the sole purpose of visiting the area to just 'drive'.

So far I've taken my 15 M4, 18 M3, 95 Supra, 17 gt350, 13 FRS which then became a K24 Turbo FR-S and recently I bought a good friends supercharged stroker S2000 which has been a lot of fun but just isn't comfortable for a guy my size. Currently waiting one of my 5 dealers to get me a white premium manual... almost a year now and just can't seem to get an allocation for what I want... I feel like the supra is gonna be the car I'm waiting for.

Figured I'd share a few photos of my various cars that I've had down there. :)

Please feel free to hijack my thread, would love to see pictures and stories of your experiences.
Welcome! We're glad to have you here. You've had a sweet collection of cars. Never been to North Carolina but looks like the perfect scenic drive. Looking forward to seeing more from you around here!

Seconded. Also see that you're in GVL too, give 178 Pickens towards Brevard a try for a good road. I've had my Supra up there almost every weekend.

I tried 276 thru Caesars head recently but the road quality was crap and more traffic than 178.

864 yeeerrrrr

I hit Caesars Head a few months ago super early and it was awesome, but any later in the day and its awful.

The brevard route is *killer* dude, I wish I could hit it more often than I do. Do you go out with a group?

No, I don't have a group, but I'm looking to join one. Passed by a huge Bimmer group a couple weeks ago, wonder who they are...

If you're looking to link up, I'll probably be headed back that way middle of May. I can DM you my contact info. That gas station before the twisties on 178, Holly Springs Country Store, is a common meet up point for car groups.

Does anyone coordinate a TOTD (tail of the dragon) meet for MKV owners?
I haven't across one yet.. would be scary and fun drive through TOD at same time, won't be fun if one is on automatic mode.. should be on pedal or manual shifter through those turns to enjoy.. I think..
