Hey everyone, I'm new to the area, I'm moving do Dover AFB next month, I"m trying to get aquanted with the local car scene. Hopefully I can be pretty active in the community.

here's a few pics of my car.

DE doesn't really have a car scene per say...but you can always find meets and things in the surrounding areas.

King_ · 10-12-2009, 01:28 PM

The01Cav · 10-12-2009, 06:12 PM

Roughly how many cars generally show up?

The01Cav · 10-12-2009, 08:39 PM

Not sure I haven't been to one in a while. It's just a get together to bull**** and get some food.

SikneSS · 10-14-2009, 04:17 PM

hey man, welcome to DE!

yea the car scene isn't the greatest, but there are meeting spots and meetings going on. i'm just north of Dover and have a few friends on base.

Welcome to TST! Very nice S2k you have there.

KetphanhDrift · 10-15-2009, 09:03 AM

Welcome nice S2K

King_ · 10-25-2009, 06:33 PM

Thanks for all the friendly comments...I'll be there in a few weeks...still debating if I am going to bring the car up or leave it in storage down here...

Silverfc88 · 10-25-2009, 06:49 PM

Whats the reason for wanting to leave it in storage in KY? Do you have a second car to drive around?

272sWrx · 10-25-2009, 08:14 PM

Yes sir, I have a 99 expedition awd I was thinking of driving until spring as oppose to leaving the s in a parking lot on base, it's been garage kept and I hate to change that now....

Yes the windshield is 35 % only noticeable when the top is up

DC Hunny5 · 10-26-2009, 02:41 AM

welcome to Delaware and the forum =)

Like everyone else said, there's not much of a car scene in Delaware. Are you planning on registering your s2k in DE? If so, they'll take one look at the windshield and have you remove it.
If i were you, i'd leave the s2k in storage until spring. The winters haven't been too bad here the last few years, but Delaware is the kind of state that if there is freezing rain, they completely cover the ground in salt.

StreetEG · 10-26-2009, 10:52 AM

i dont know what you guys were talking about--- when i went to school in de it had the best scene ive ever been a part of. Literally action every night. Sick car though

well, Newark police have cracked down alot on cruising and "illegal" modifications, such as window tint and exhausts. So, that caused alot of the scene to disappear.

StreetEG · 10-26-2009, 12:12 PM

thats the worst---it was literally the haven of tuning when I went to college (Graduated 06). Quality cars out from all over just to cruise main street then enjoy the 2 lane highway to follow. I used to work in dover too--a lot of rice mixed in with nice cars but still there was a lot going on--I guess the times are changin..

Now its nothing but RICE in Newark and believe me that is NOT an understatement. It's actually quite sad. I remember the good ol days when Burger King used to be the place to be on Friday nights and there were so many nice cars up there.

Negative, the car is going to stay registered here in ky that way it doesn't have to be inspected ... I dunno if they can ticket out of state vehicles for things such as window tint but I'll take my chances when I get up there...

Try to keep your car registered there if you can. I was able to keep my car registered to NM the 6 years I was stationed at Mcguire. Didn't have to worry about inspections. You shouldn't have to worry about getting a ticket for the tint.

They do have newer housing units at Dover with a one car garage. I don't know how long the wait list is for them if you do try to stay on base.

Keeping the car garaged during the winter sounds like a great plan.
