One of the more popular roads is K-5 which runs from I-435 on the Kansas Side into Leavenworth/Lansing. Another is Mission Road in Leawood, south of 151st street. All around this area are some great roads. It's just a matter of finding a good map which shows county roads and just taking off and driving them.

Another great source is driving the SCCA Road Rallies. In the past few years they do this only in November. They run one course on Saturday and a different course on Sunday. The Rallymeister really finds some great roads, the kind of roads you want to go back and drive later.

Thanks!!!! Now I just gotta get home. My wife will be taking the Z in for tinting here soon. Going 35 I think all the way around. I'm sure she'll end up posting pics of it when its done (since I just found out she's on the board now too.)

there's plenty of places to drive around for fun. i'll have to start writing down some of my favorite spots.

i was hooked on late night drives through Mission Hills in the datsun (slowly i'll add). but it will be awhile before that happens again.

I think this warrants a new thread eh? If I were a mod, I'd probably sticky it, maybe we can convince one to do so. I bet before long, there will be others who would do the same.

how bout we just start a thread right now?!

ON IT!

my mom came over to my house the other day in stepdad's pickup.

backed the trailer hitch right into front of my z :eek: watched the whole thing happen

once again my bumper is going back to the body shop.

:mad: :shakes head:

That sucks.

oh ya.... my reaction would have been worth a million bucks.

worst part is that was the best looking body panel on my car. was just painted year and half ago.

tell her to back up into a beat up body panel next time

ninja side note edit: anyone wanna do the scca autocross on the 22nd of july? im signed up as well as 2 other guys from kc subaru (one with an s2k)

Love to now that the car is running but i will be out of town until Aug 20th.

About the same. Still waiting on Nissan to call me about my new solenoid valve. One day it will be tuned.:rolleyes:

so who else is going to the kcs cruize on july 1st??

Moving daughter into her apartment on the 1st.

I'm out....yet another problem. I believe the shytty tunes STS has been handing out have fried my cats. Great yet another problem. GO STS.....Stands for Sh*tty Turbo System

im prolly out too since i have the transmission issues

I am starting the second half of my move to Kansas. I am leaving San Antonio Texas today and going to see if I can make it in one day 14hr drive. My wife will decide in OKC if she wants to stop for a night.

good luck sir! that is a heck of a drive to do all at once. we did it one time when we visited our family, but it was a heck of a drive. let us know how the move goes

Have a safe trip. I'm actually doing something very similar when I get back. Breaking in the Nismo by driving it from KC down to Houston, and then back a few days later. Can't wait actually.

We just stopped outside witchata. About 2.5 more hrs once we get back on the road.

where exactly in kc will you be located?

I am in Leavenworth for the next year

I'm sorry...jk...welcome to the KC area.

^ does this mean ur a military guy??

Yes I'm army.

Attending the college there? Regardless, it's a beautiful facility. I've gone to the homes tour there the last 2 years and the homes are gorgeous. I was in one which had been occupied by Custer.

Yes I'm going to the school for a year. I'll look into the home tour. I'm sure the post will push it.

Maybe your home will be on the tour! Unfortunately, this great event has little publicity. I found out about it by accident last year and you really have to dig to find info about it.

Typically, we caravan from KC up there, do the tour, then head across the river and hit O'Malley's in Weston. man, I LOVE their Dropkick beer.

Hmm tell me more about this homes tour. Sounds like a fun day trip from KC.

This year it was May 5th. You pay at the museum (which has some really interesting stuff) and they provide you a map to the homes. You can drive, walk, or ride a shuttle. This year we opted to walk and hit about 8 homes. This year's homes were different than last.

Some of the homes are on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River. Very beautiful scenery.

If I recall, tickets were like $15 which went to a Ft. Leavenworth charity(?)

We think it's a great way to spend a Saturday.
