Anyone from North Jersey

Hello all. I am fairly new to this forum and wondering how many of us are from North Jersey, especially Essex county area. Unfortunately, it seems as if all the f-bodies are down in central and southern jersey, while we get stuck with **** up here. Hope to hear from you all.

Thanx all for the responses. I guess you all agree with me that the local seven-elevens and Dunkin Donuts here in North Jersey are infested with import junk on summer nights. If any of you all are interested, Hooters in Wayne has a nice cruise night on fridays starting in May, right next to Willowbrook mall. Maybe we could get together a small gathering of F-body enthusiasts together at this show and hang. Let me know if any are interested, because I can't afford to drive down to central Jersey every weekend, and don't plan to hang at the local seven-eleven either.

I know what you mean Trans-Am. Not being able to do anything auto related is driving me nuts. I would be up for a gathering at Hooters in April if anyone is interested. In the meantime I'll stick to racing on Playstation until the weather gets warmer.

idea

I have this idea... let me know if its bad.
I feel that since march is like a starting point in warm weather,
we should make it jersey f-body month.
Maybe just third gen's
but anyway starting march 1st everytime you see an f-body(or third gen) beep like crazy!
Maybe it will catch on and people will beep all over! anyway its a thought! since f-bodies are not in production anymore.
well let me know if this is a bad idea or if its a good idea so that i'm not the only *** hole in NJ beeping haha
