all i can say is dahum. That SC looks familiar. I think he has a big build thread in the SC section I'm more curious on how it drives. Congrats to you Leroy on landing something you want to do. Don't worry I've been keeping good track of the Neloc stickers

Thanks guys and gals. I'm getting well adjusted out here, but there's definitely no place like home.

Yeah man I thought the east coast was behind the west. Apparently that only applies to Cali. The murdered out look is still in LV. Same goes for time attack style wheels, and rebadging Acuras as Hondas. . Some dude came up to me and said all my car was missing were Altezza badges in place of my Lexus badges. Whatever. Hit me up when you get out here.

Glad to see your settling in. Just take your time with the car scene, I'm sure you'll get it jumping after a while.

Thanks for sharing the flicks

Great pics, Leroy and it is great to hear you got a great job doing something you love. A few things, I just saw that laguna seca blue IS300 on the cover of import tuner, very nice! Are the vegas roads smooth, so you can drive around really slammed?, Are there big horsepower Supras and muscle cars that drag at the Las Vegas motor speedway, and/or race on the flat and long higways on the outskirts of town? Lastly I just saw las vegas is now one of the leaders of car theft in the united states, is this only in certain areas?, and does this effect you at all? Thanks.

Hey Ryan, The LSB IS is amazing. I first saw it when it was still GGP. He's making like 850hp at the crank. The owner (Billy) is a really nice guy. I was surprised someone with a car like that would know who I was without meeting me before, but apparently I was wrong. The roads are smooth with exception to the strip and surrounding side streets. But I don't go to the strip often. There is a weekly meet similar to the Chick-Fil-A meets in Sterling near the strip but I take the long way around to avoid all the construction on the strip. Once I stack some more dough I'll be going with a more aggressive kit and wheel setup and will dump the car some more . The fastest Supra is out here some where. It runs 8s from what everyone says. But I haven't seen it yet. They're aren't many high horsepower imports. Most are budget modders that bolt on nitrous kits with stock everything else. Stupid I know, but they don't seem to care about building cars the right way. Even tuning their cars to run on nitrous is a foreign concept to the majority. There's a lot of high horsepower muscle cars though. Mainly for drag though. Not street cars. Theft is high but thats mainly car theft and not part or wheel theft. But I live in a good area and avoid the bad.
