      I've done that heading west out of Austin back when I had my M3. There are plenty of fun roads out around there to keep you busy for a while.

      I found one curve in Houston once, but they did consturction and made it straight. :D

        Definitely have done that here. Catoctin Mountain Range has been my saving grace when I need to carve some roads...

          All the time.

          Car looks much nicer now with the mesh in the rear bumper, dont know when you added that, but i like it.
          Thanks for noticing ;) I added it a few days ago.
          I thought it looked pretty good too. What kind of mesh did you use Jordan? Im trying to figure out what I want to use in my Breyton front and the stuff your using looks like what I want.

            I've been wanting to put some mesh there for a long time, but didn't really have any means of attaching the standard issue aluminum mesh there, besides that I wanted black.

            My mother bought a roll of black hard plastic mesh at Home Depot last week, its intended purpose is to cover rain gutters and keep leaves out. It also worked great for me. The roll was 100ft long x 8in wide. She said it was like $8.

              30 min in any direction and you're at another flat country road or city intersection.

              I also like to go on scenic drives (or a ride on my moped, anything to get out of thew house when I'm going insane)

                Not bad, it really cleans up the rear valance.

                  I've used the same stuff on my other car, works great, and you know it can't get all bent up and chipped

                    amazing how much that looks like Nova Scotia, (it's on the east coast of canada for you geographically challenged people) i have similar shots but mine have bushes in the way of the valley, damn renecks should trim them back. but yeah same type of landscape if i was looking for a place to live oregon would probably end up on the list similar to here but different.

                          LOL

                          I think he was referring to the car...which is fine, I am never jealous of her!

                          But if you REALLY want to know what Jordan's rear looks like, I will be happy to describe it to you.

                          ;)
