Lightbulb Just moved to VA from CT

Hello everyone!
I just moved to Charlottesville, VA from Norwich CT. Just getting my 1st post out of the way here. Also wondering what the import scene is like down here. I plan on making these forums a very viable resource to the outside world as far as what's going on around me.
Like i said i'm TOTALLY new to the area and I'm looking for some new car buddies to bullshit and chill with.
I look forward to meeting you guys, as i plan on making the trek down to Newport News on the 30th for the meet on Jefferson Ave.

Charlottesville is surrounded by the boonies. If you have an import, hope it's a nice one or expect to get stopped often for exhaust, suspension modification, and ass hattery. Lot more import stuff near Va Beach ("757") area.

I-64 is gonna be your main commuter route, so just giving you a warning about 10 miles east of Richmond out to Williamsburg you'll hit stop n go traffic during rush hour and weekends, further east expect to be parked, especially during summer.

he may need to put a stock looking mufflere on it, as long as he doesn't drive like a 'tard he should be alright
I give it 50/50 odds

Welcome to VA, homie. I would say, welcome fellow DA owner, but I sold mine. Going by your profile, you have a nice setup.
