They cant even post the price, you have to call

anyway when are you going to be going to Tahoe? Check out the snowboarding thread in the bay area forums here to chime in. I live in Fairfield and will be going up to Squaw a lot this season. See ya around

Thanks for the info dTek! Totally missed that site. I like how iwsti dedicates a section for GR owners but it doesn't look like the community as a whole is as active as others.

First Tahoe trip will probably be the weekend of the 18th (Northstar's opening day). I'm already locked n loaded with my season pass and even have a trip booked for 3 days in CO in Feb. My gf got me a Neversummer Proto CT as an early birthday gift and I picked up some Rome 390 Boss's to rock on it. I can already smell the powwww

welcome, but the darkside would be more so be the EVOs.. they are less popular, not as close knit family as subies, but they do make more power then us. a lot more

I have an avic 700bt and honestly, I think it's crap (although I can't complain too much because I got it for free). it crashes randomly and just goes on the fritz from time to time. I've heard that eclipse is a much better manufacturer.

oh and...

Congratulations on the new car and welcome to the community. I will definitely throw you a V if I spot you around. And, if you got time, you can check out the friday night meets at Wingstop. I will definitely show up tomorrow.

Enough hate - I don't mean to be a downer. Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Looking forward to meeting you Suby heads soon so we can talk shop!
