oh man shawn you missed a good show last night i would like to thank everyone that came out alot more cars and everyone that showed up said that they were coming back next week. i was also thinking whenever the weather cools down and i get my car back i would like to have the meet out at orlando from what i have heard some people havent been out there and i figure see who wants to run and who wants to watch and whoever isnt running we can sit back watch everyone and bring some beers (for whoever is 21 or older) and cokes for the minors sucks guys i know but what can you do! maybe even if we can get ahold of a truck bring a grill cook some stuff its all up to you. everyone can halp out have any ideas feel free to post it there something i might not think of. if someone wants to have a meet somewhere else. sometime during the weekend post it! I hope to see everyone next week take it easy and drive safe in this rainy weather Later Daniel
Last night was cool. some guys waitin to get their car back, some guys lookin for cars....I like the potential! I should bring a camera next week.
The strip idea is a good one. Sounds like there is some fun to be had out there. Ill hold the cooler and I might be able to get a canopy thing from my dad, if he dont have it in use.
Also Old Towns cruise on Friday nights is for 1987 or older cars. If anyone wants to check it out, I was thinking about it some time soon. We can meet some where and cruise out there or just meet out there.
And of course the Camaro meet out there in Oct. As metioned in the other topic.
Can someone post a link (ill look too ... z28.com) to the info on the Silver Springs (?) show that was talked about last night?

It was a good turnout. im glad i got out of work at a decent time, hopefully it will be the same next week. I enjoyed all the conversation. Actually learned alot, and seems like i need to learn alot more, motor wise, that is. As far as cosmetics, i can do, but when it comes to the motor i will be able to get alot out of you guys. Thanks again and i'll see ya guys next week, hopefully.
Billy,
as far as the motor work get with me my dad owns a machine shop and they do all types of stuff rebuilds just about anything you can think of expect for port and polishing which is something i want to learn how to do good i have his cards in the blazer ill bring them next week. thats goes for anyone hit me up Later Daniel
ya that was nice last night.. if u want to meet at the track sometimes, i can go on fridays and we can chill or even race our cars and beat all the rice lol im most likely going 2morrow night so if anyone else wants 2 meet up the just leave a post
new to jacksonville, and the F3GO seemed dead. anything going on? whats the 3rd gen scene like here? I wen to BJ's on a tuesday and it seemed huge. good mix. I live at the corner of southside and beach in Jax.
uhh..just got my computer back from repairs today....sorry I missed the last wensdays pisses me off...I have freakin general Psychology sceduled on wensdays from 6-9....next wensday Im definently gonna try and get back to the meet.
well like i said we can always change the day it doesnt haev to be on wednesdays whatever is easier for everybody. mateo i met to tell you i took a look at the tach and it is a 6K tach my bad bro Later Daniel
The thirdgen scene in Jax is not as I would like it to be. The local f-body club is River City F-Bodies and they meet every Wed at different places each week.
Tues and Sat nites at BJ's and Thurs nite at Sonic on Southside.
Dan87GTA, you remember Cody with the black 86 iroc with silver stripes? i got bad news his car cought on fire this afternoon. it appears that his battery exploxed and caused the fire. the hood, bumper, and wiring harness is gone and pretty much everything under the is burnt.
well like i said we can always change the day it doesnt haev to be on wednesdays whatever is easier for everybody. mateo i met to tell you i took a look at the tach and it is a 6K tach my bad bro Later Daniel
ahhh no problem at all...so far everyone is likin those wensdays so I wouldnt want that changed...still at sonic though right?
ya its still at sonic well i can believe that happen to the car if youve seen under the hood its a wiring nightmare no joke i almost took a pic. not to put down him or his car but it needs alot of work. im sorry to hear that happen and i will help him any way i can. i have never seen a battery explade but i bet it will do some damage!!!! he hasnt called me yet ill go and see it some time. i hope he is ok! Later Daniel
well he claimed it ran 13's but i quick he is somewhere in the high 14's maybe even low 15's. ya the engine bay was plain but just the wiring was all over the place i saw bare wire exposed and everything. its a clean car from the outside like if you saw it on ebay if there was never a under hood shot you would buy without thinking! but the minute you pop it i would have slapped the guy it needs alot of work. how did you hear about it? how much damage did it do? Later Daniel
i was driven down aloma and it was sittin on sidewalk infront of the kfc i used to work at. i say a broken 3rdgen so i figured i would stop and it just so happen it was cody. he told me it went low 13's to. the hood, bumper, fuel lines and pretty much everything under the hood, oh and the interior had like 3 inches of water from the fire department. is everyone still meetin up wed at sonics?
well what im going to do is tomorrow when i get off work about 3 i wil come on here and post wether im going out there if its raining bad then no they say its going to hit late tomorrow night but who knows they dont know their ******* from their elbow it changes every 5 mins. OH MY GOD! i dont he didnt tell you it ran low 13's theat thing is no where near low 13's my car would have walked him badly before the trans went out. oh and by the way i drove andrews car the other night because of a mysterious miss he had at about 5500 to 6000 i didnt know what it was but i tell you what that car moves pretty good i think he will take you shawn so i wouldnt race if if you dont want to lose sorry buddy i would love to see a L98 tkae a LT1 any day of the week. but i just state the facts. well hopefully ill see everyone tomorrow another good show Later Daniel
its all good. i know his car is faster than mine. i already raced him from a 40 roll he pulled on me as soon as i went into 3rd but only by like a car or so by 80. oh well it will be fast soon enough. cant wait to kick some LT1 ***.
i dont blame you there bro im with you im jst looking for LS1's when mine get back just remember their on the same team cant hate team mates the f-fodies! go for rustangs! makes the kill alot better umm sorry fellas i think im going to cancel tonight meeting sorry its so late letting everyone know but this weather just isnt good for a meet just same place next week and hopefully the weather will wor for us it sucks but what can you do everyone stay safe and dont anything i wouldnt do( which isnt very much) take it easy ride out this ****ty excuse for a storm hopefully no ones loses power see ya next week Later Daniel
