Hey all you Philly drivers...

Hey fellow philadelphia drivers. I started school in Philly about a month ago and i will be bringing my car here after it gets painted ( ) My questions are: where are the race spots, what are the cops like, and where are you guys so we can meet up one night or something? I've seen sooo many ricers around here it makes me sick. I saw one kid in the parking lot here with a '91 or '92 blue Z28 with awesome *** rims though. People drive all crazy too so i could see myself against some family cars trying to get home or whatever. Thanks guys. If you don't know where St. Joseph's is, it's down City Ave. by 54th street. It's closer to the river than Drexel and Villanova is. They are up by 69th st and higher. Thanks again.

~Matt

the cops CAN be big time *********, they usually don't pull ya over but if they do forget it, you're ****ed, seems like it takes a lot for them to **** with you, now me personally i've never been pulled over by them but i've dealt with them on many occasions.

As for the race spots i think it's pretty much dead, not like it used to be

thats cool guys. I knew there wouldn't be much of a race seen because i see so many cops, plus the road is all stoplights. Some kid has a 95 Probe GT with type-R stickers all over it.
