    Where do you usually by parts?
    Depends on what I'm buying in particular. Bulletproof Automotive gets me some of the harder to find stuff. Rallysportdirect.com or Importimage.com for things I need within a couple days, and my shop for regular purchases.

    Nothing in particular seeing as I don't live in Atlanta right now.

    Show, Go, or Stock and staying that way?
    All go with some hints of show. Ultimately, it's function over form.

    Do you wave to other wrx's when you see then coming towards you?
    Of course.

    Where did you find out about WRXatlanta?
    The Googles

    I haven't been to any around here for a while. I started autocrossing down here back in '07 and '08, then moved back to Wisconsin for the last 4 years. I've only been doing 6-7 events a year, but made my first trip to Nationals last year (a DFL in STR). Just moved back here last month, and haven't made an event this year.

    Hey what's up everyone! New to Atlanta and ready to meet and drive some roads!

    I live now in Sandy Springs for a little while at least. Originally from Cali.
    Call me Gianni
    I drive a 2013 SWP Subaru BRZ
    Modded? Yes. How modded? Well, you'll have to see it in person ;)
    I usually buy parts directly from the manufacturer.
    Don't know of any other Atlanta local boards...
    GO! If I can't drive it hard, I don't want it!
    I usually wave at all Subaru's, but I think people think I'm crazy, especially the Outback owners. lol
    Matt! Thanks for the invite!

    Awesome! We're glad you can make it out. I would say its averaging 8-10 people. There have been a few times where weve gotten a lot more. Follow that dinner thread, people usually post up if we are going to make it amongst other random chat.

    Good day all. I just moved here from Gulfport, MS and will be living in this area for the next coming years. Still looking for a place to purchase/rent, but hey, that will come right? Anyways, here's some stuff about me:

    Where do you live? Conyers, GA; but am looking at moving/living elsewhere depending on what becomes available.

    What do you preferred to be called (not your username)? Jonathan, but "hey you" works too. Whenever I show up to my first meet, I usually will have a t-shirt from my other car club from New Mexico (racingsouthwest.com), that has my user name on there.

    What do you drive? 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

    How modded is your ride? Lots of mods that bring me to 400-ish AWHP and 420 AWTQ

    Where do you usually by parts? Online, but haven't bought anything in a while.

    Do you visit any other local boards? This is the only one that I know of. Would love to plug in, meet some folks, and any one that tunes, as my car could use a tune.

    Show, Go, or Stock and staying that way? Go, all go. I love driving, even as temperamental as Subies are, that's why I love it.

    Do you wave to other wrx's when you see then coming towards you? Always, and for ever. Waved at a bunch on my way here to Georgia on the interstate. That's how we roll.

    Where did you find out about WRXatlanta? google.com. Its a necessary evil, but hey, we all love it right?

    Thanks for adding me on Alex, looking forward to meeting some folks in the area, and getting into the car scene again. Subies don't really exist in Mississippi - if it wasn't 'Merikan, it wasn't the in thing to do.
