Atlanta has a lot of car activities here. Car shows are more normal than drives. If you want drives, The lotus club is a great club to get in with. they do a lot of Mountain drives.

If you already moved here

No, haven't moved. Atlanta is still on the radar as possible places to relocate, but I haven't found the right job yet. Thanks for the info, though.

Traffic sucks but coming from you should be used to it

zzzzzer is an unknown quantity at this point

Atlanta traffic can definitely be a nightmare and "Spaghetti Junction" is an aptly named section of roadway, but the city really is amazing and the number of beautiful automobiles rivals or exceeds many cities I've visited. I'm partial to the community of Alpharetta as it was close enough to the action to pay a visit, but far enough away to have its own quiet charm. Grant it, where you choose to reside (should you decide to take a position there) will probably have a lot to do with where the new gig is located but the good news is that Atlanta will give you a lot to choose from. Good luck in your decisioning.
