Re: Moving to Mobile Al
I never realled looked into car clubs before. I almost got into one, but all the members used the cars as a measuring stick for who was better instead of helping each other out.
I am a huge gear head that rather get dirty with friends than listen to people talk about whos' car is faster.
Hopefully I can find a house with a big enough garage lol.

Re: Moving to Mobile Al
So I see you have an 88 bird - from your profile she sure sounds sweet. I'm a big fan of any third gen - actually, I'm a big fan of Camaros or Firebirds of any generation. Must say that 1988 was a spectacular year for third gens.
Racing has never been of interest to me and as for speed, I just want her to statisfy myself and my stock Camaro satisfies me plenty. When she was around 6 months old, I opened her up one mid morning on Hwy 267 south of T'hassee and had her up to +/- 140. That was enough for me - I've probably had her to 100 twice since then. However, I do like to get after it on the Cervantes street ramp to elevated I-110.
While I've never met the Alabama or Miss. guys that post on this thread, I have a very positive opinion of them. I think they will be a very comfortable fit for you.

Re: Moving to Mobile Al
competition is the best **** ever. its not -mean- for lack of a better word, to compete and brag about having a faster car. there is nothing like having to ***** to the walls fast cars and going racing. just to see one edge out the other by a VERY short distance.
there is no way you can this boring / unexciting:
