Live in Key Largo, work in Miami.
I used to goto towers shops with the guys from SFR, but they turned out to be import **** and **** in general, so I stopped hanging with them.
So, I stopped going.

donor car? and what have it sitting in your back yard? Cophers is inexpensive enough that a donor car is not cost effective, unless you plan on parting it out and sellin parts on ebay.
fender $30
hood $30
whole engine w/accessories $200
starters/alternators $15
Batteries $16
Plus hundreds of cars to pick through.
I just bought a set of 4 camaro rims and tires for $100 with good tread on all 4. Now thoses are my autocrossing tires/rims.

I live in Miami Lakes ( Miami Dade ) off the palmetto and Miami Lakes Drive, wow, at least I am not the only South Florida guy here on the boards!
The Tower Shops in Davie has turned into a jap feast! I was soooo shocked! I went there 2 weeks ago with my nephew and could not believe it, the last time I was there before was almost 2 years ago where there was just a few jap cars by Michaels side, but what a shame! Most are crappy junk under 3k, I would like to kill the idiot who made those fast and the furious movies. Andy

I will say that Need For Speed Most Wanted is a fun game, I got it for the good feelings that Hot Pursuit gave me way back in the day, hell atleast Most Wanted lets you drive a 1st Gen Camaro.
Now if only someone would come out with a game based off of the same system as the new NFS game, but only with classic American cars, an old school city, and without cops that drive vette's.

I was told that the Tower lot is over-running with jap metal, but I figured it would still be a good place for us South Florida Members to meet up. Besides, I almost find comical to look at some of the cars...perhaps one day they will wake up and smell the coffee.

OK, I am throwing this out there for the Miami and Palm Beach people.....
Since the Towers is no good anymore, how about the Big Daddy Flanagin's on Atlantic Boulevard in Broward County, a block or two east of Federal Highway??
This Friday night (January 20, 2006) at 9:00 pm??

We need a future date set far enough so a midway point can be made, the broward area is right, it is in the middle. Anyway, I suggest a date with enough time for more to attend. Andy

Turns out the new job is paying once a month so it'll be a bit before I have my stuff in order enough to hang.
...but on a great note, I love the job and the boss is ultra cool.
