New here...not new to the cars though...anyone in NC?

I sold my Trans Am a long while ago because I had no choice but still have a love for them. Now that I am in a position to, I'm on the hunt for another one. Thought I'd post up and see if anyone was local to me, say hello.

I don't see where in NC you are, but I am in Wilmington.

I'm in the Raleigh area personally. I have to fix my profile, I made it last night so I'll fill in the blanks when I have a little more time.

I like the area, born and raised here. There's definitely not a shortage of third gens around. Will pass through Whiteville from time to time when I go the back way to the beach.

I didn't grow up in NC, but I've been here 7 years now and really like it. Finally bought a house since I knew I wasn't planning on moving back. I miss my family and friends but not where I lived.

Re: New here...not new to the cars though...anyone in NC?

Born and raised in Fayetteville.(30+ years) I don't go there if I can help it. Not much going on in Whiteville. I spent 6 years in Raleigh and I enjoyed it. Been in Wilmington full time 3 years plus visited most of my life and I like it here. Anywhere in the mountains around Asheville is nice too.

Raleigh was pretty cool when I lived there. Been in the Jamestown/Greensboro area for over 8 years now.

Been a member for a while, just really never post. Lived in Fayetteville my entire life. Ty92Z - What area of Fayetteville are you in? I'm near Hope Mills.

I actually live just north of Spring Lake in a community called Johnsonville. I work for UPS in Fayetteville right on Black & Decker Rd for 21 years now.

Ok, great. Nice to meet someone from the area. I think I am a little familiar with that area, kind of between Fayetteville and Sanford?

Yes, think you're dead on. Was a small community where everyone knew everyone when I was growing up. Over the years it has begun to overflow with subdivisions. A Walmart is going up now!

Re: New here...not new to the cars though...anyone in NC?

Yes, I know what you mean, unfortunately they are going up everywhere. We have two super centers and they are building a neighborhood one all within 5 miles of my house. I actually only live about a mile or so from the UPS hub on Black & Decker road. Would be nice to meet up some time and see your Z. Mine is a little under the weather right now. I have a couple of vacuum leaks I need to sort out.

Re: New here...not new to the cars though...anyone in NC?

I think I am a little late on replying to the original question but I am in NC. I live in Morganton. Hey by the way can any of you other straight drive guys post some pictures of your pedals and which wires go where I could use a reference for hooking all my stuff back up. Thanks for any help.
