I'm in Memphis. Just moved back home last year after graduating from college outside Philly.

sqcomp, I graduated from Craigmont, too! But I'm sure by "back in the day" you don't mean 2005. Lol.

sqcomp - I love it down there :) Roy and I are finalizing our divorce here in the next couple weeks, so I just don't see a reason to stay. I'm gonna go back to my family and friends and get my dual membership at the Chapter down there lol

MemphisLaVa - are there any YW meets that you know of? I think those are gonna have to start up :) The guy I'm seeing has a Mustang and I just won't be accepted in that crowd I don't think LOL!

I'm glad your moving to Memphis . Soon you will be just a couple of hours away from Deals Gap , aka Tail of the Dragon .

Bring ur new guy with his rustang and I will show him some proper Dragon etiquette and convince him to buy a Yaris

J: I honestly don't know of any meets. There's a weekly car show on the corner of Stage and Kirby-Whitten. My brother mentioned that a girl who drives a red Yaris goes to that one occasionally. He knows a lot more about the show and who is typically there than I do. Not sure that helps any but I thought it was worth a mention.

sqcomp: While I was in Philly, I really found myself missing bbq. They had a Famous Dave's up there, but that can't even come close to comparing. Cheesesteaks were good and all, but there's nothing like great bbq.

Here here. Well spoken.

We have a couple people from Tupelo up here. They do great BBQ but the ambiance isn't there if you get my drift. It tastes spectacular, like it should. It's about 90% of Memphis.

LOL

I don't think that's going to happen ... he drove my car though, and he loves it! However, there is nothing like 330hp at the wheels to make you want to get right back into the 'stang

He knows about the Tail of the Dragon! He was telling me that he and his friends go out there once a year, so I am excited to experience this road sometime in the near future

Woah sorry J haven't been on YW in a week or so. I'm not sure what time exactly, but I usually see a good number cars there when I drive by after work around 5/5:30. I'll ask my brother and see if he has any idea.

I will be out there tonight :) Won't be in the Yaris though - will be in an 09 Mustang GT CS ...

If you happen to be there; stop by and say hi!! Here is what I'll be in:



I'd be in Yaris, but he wants to take his car and it's too far of a drive from Jackson to take them both.
