ilmor Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 The rain turns people into NASCAR drivers with high speeds and brake checks or devil's molasses where they must drive 20-30 miles under the speed limit. Mix no fear with all fear and you get rain demolition derby. Just you wait. First time it rains, you will shake your head and say...man these people can't drive. Friend of mine drove up to visit me in CT on Friday. It was raining. Took him two extra hours to get by 3 wrecks on the CT interstates. Maybe the Nashville drivers were in town!

Jerry Froelich Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Wait till they close school because there is a forecast of snow. The run on grocery stores will have you rolling. Still a great place to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Froelich Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I dont think it snowed last year. The roads were always white from them always brining the roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, got to do it for the ice at least, which is more of a concern in TN than snow from what I understand. When I lived in MD that was the case as well. My Shelby GT doesn't see roads like that.

ilmor Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I suppose you settled on a particular area of Nashville? Yes, the area south of Nashville (Brentwood, Franklin, etc.) makes the most sense for us. Also been checking out the Music City Mustang Club and Nashville Cars n Coffee who have routine events in that area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Froelich Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) You rich people live in Brentwood and Franklin. Cars and Coffee is awesome. No Atlanta but lots of rides.

07gt500conv Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I have heard from a friend who lived around Franklin. Franklin is quite the car community. Been thru there a few times driving and did not see the cars, will have to pay more attention in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller has a couple of horses, but, even though we have nothing against horses, we are not "horse people". There is one type of horse I will have there, however and that's a Mustang!

We paid a visit this past weekend to get more familiar with the area. Even did the Grand Ole Opry . Really looking forward to the move! We're doing so in stages; at some point I'm just gonna take a nice cruise in the Shelby GT to move it there . I have great plans for a new Shelby man cave!

Jerry Froelich Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Tourist. Did you stay at Opryland or Downtown? Only asking if you were Downtown and hit the cool sites. Howdy and welcome to Tennessee. Have to rustle you up some Tennessee Moonshine as a house warming gift. When I was younger, I knew some folks that had stills and some that made runs from East Tennessee. Not so much anymore. You can take that front license plate off by the way.
