Why don't any of the Knox people get out and do anything? haha.
What do you mean? Out of the half million plus people in the Knoxville metro area, at least 40 of them sit in the old K-Mart parking lot, lol. Yes, I used to live there...

On a serious (and much less depressing) note, if you are up for some driving (around 35 miles East of Knoxville) there is a weekly cruise-in @ Morristown that often nets 500 cars. Also, they also have "Fouth Friday Music Fest and Cruise-In" monthly where they shut down main street in the old part of town for a car show, free rock concert, etc. (parking for cars in the show is kinda limited however).

Even better however is the one they do in Elizabethton where they shut off the downtown area every Saturday evening, have music, vendors, etc. But it would be a pretty big drive from K'town, but would give everyone an excuse to drive the Snake, which is about 15 minutes from downtown E'ton, and you will pass right by Thunder Valley (the drag track seen on Pinks).

Here are some links...a little out of date...but the first that came up on a search:

Morristown Cruise-In

Fouth Friday

Elizabethton Cruise-In

BTW, here are a couple pics I had on my HD, from a previous Cruise-In. Doesn't exactly look like the Clinton Hwy scene, lol.

Which mountains you plan to go to? If you are talking about sitting behind an endless line of 20mph cars around Gatlinburg or other "leaf looker" location...no thanks. But if you want to drive something like the Triangle or an original route...let us know what you have in mind. Keep in mind that any back route near I40 is a mess right now too, due to the rockslide, so that rules out nice drives toward Asheville too.

I hope your not serious?!?! Indy, Louisville, and Nashville are way closer and way huge compared to Knoxville. But on a plus Knoxville is just that nice of a town.
