when I went there last year I went to the coca cola factory haha I went to the church that MLK last preached at? I went to some other places, i don't remember.

Maybe you could meet some members from GA?

C'mon guys, you can do better than the Coke factory or Malls... HELL BMW NA has a huge office there - roam through there or visit Road Atlanta. Some of you guys are just really boring, hell we've been in Italy 2 weeks and have been escorted back to the hotel 4 times by "policia" (and NO I haven't seen a Ferrarri Police car "yet") On a driving note - we did get stopped for driving with fog lights on. Our rental car is a Benz and one of my buds is accustomed to driving with fogs on. We were stopped, surrounded by state "policia" and questioned and released. As later told to us - It's ILLEGAL to run with fogs on unless visibilty is under 100yds - or as cop politely told us - "those are fog lights, not jewelry as you Americans may believe" (I guess he told us -ey?)

Well that is amazing, but I see the point. I use my fogs without low visibility when I need them to show the edge of the road! Like no street lights after Wilma (yeah, here we still have that!)

Yeah, well, if I get arrested or escorted to my hotel by the cops, I get fired, it's a company event, so can't get in any trouble, but most of the "day time" I'll be busy working but am all game to do stuff at night, but no clue what there is to do there... Am also all game for meeting any members down there... Anyone?

Am trying to find a decent car to rent that won't be too expensive WITH Nav...., so far best I could find was a monte carlo via Avis...

I can't really rent from Hertz, loooooong story, sort of banned from there, but they don't even have what I want anyways!

[c1apton]

I hear ya, I use them in early morning hours not to hit wildlife roaming the streets in Minnesota when home. But these cops are like military, they are "by the book" - when we were stopped we were literally surrounded by like 5 cars with 2 heavily armed cops per car (I mean like automatic type weapons) for having fog lights on. We've already made a pact that if we're going drinking it's via cab - as Ron White says - "I had the right to remain silent, but not the ability"
Rooz, don't feel bad about Hertz, I need a pilots license to EVER rent from them again. We didn't get arrested, just escorted back to hotel because we were a "little to colorful" for their tastes

Haha, exactly where are you going to be? Cause I'll be in Athens those days, so it might be a bit of a drive, depending on where you are.

[german speed demon]

Vortex for the win, or if sports bars are your thing, Sidelines up by acworth is cool.

Also, Well, NM I checked ticketmaster, but there ain't much going on while your here. My buddy's roommate just went to Sevendust at the Tabernacle last night.
