You would probably be best off driving around Frederick and the surrounding areas, if there ever is another cruise up there. You'd absolutely love those roads, and they're a pretty convenient distance for you, a good number of Nova peeps, and Baltimorons.

Honestly, Frederick is only a tiny bit closer than Columbia, in a different direction. It sucks... My parents picked the absolute worst spot to live when you want to do things.

This is a fuckin dead zone for entertainment purposes.

Besides that, our coffee meets have gone to hell. I'm going to do something about that and start attending every one, even if there are other events going on.

Yeah no one seems to go anymore. Idk why, last summer we'd have like 10-20 cars show up each meet. Now we're lucky to have more than 3.

I know I for one have been mad busy. Its not that I don't like you guys (I don't

) but I only have Saturday and Sunday to get anything done so often times I miss meets. I haven't been to a VA meet in forever but hope to start making them soon when life calms down and the weather cools off.

Yeah, the meets behind the Starbucks havent been the same :|

I also cruize 'lone wolf' style all the time.. scouting all those good roads.

the larger group thing is really maybe only 3x per year.. so not much at all - and like the shaderps - i do it so other people can learn the good roads.

I actually haven't touched my Z in over 2 weeks now. Partly because I've been on travel, and partly because the Altima is so good on gas I only have to fill that up every 3 weeks. I get over 500 miles a tank in that thing lol.

I used to get like 450 in my Z when commuting to school. Now I'm only getting like 350 or so after putting on the summer tires and just going on my short commute to work.

Masa · 08-28-2012, 03:19 PM

Yea I can get 400 on the Z depending on how I drive but the Altima drinks the low grade 87 octane gas lol. That and traffic with the semester just starting is horrible - rather putter around in an automatic till people start dropping out and traffic normalizes again.

Glad I don't have to deal with that anymore
