Default Just moved to the Lake Mary area

After about 18 hours of straight driving, I've finally made it to Lake Mary, Florida. I don't start work until Monday so what's there to do on the weekends out here? My brother and I are planning on going out to Daytona Beach tomorrow (weather permitting).

Also there seems to be a lot of black bugs everywhere, I hope it's just seasonal.

I just moved into the Ballantrae apartments. I've been driving around town all day, didn't see any f-bodies. I've got the red LS1 Trans Am, with the ridiculously dark tint and chrome z06's, ohh and the Texas tags. I've got my cutout capped at the moment, don't know what to expect from the local P.D., but the exhaust can get pretty obnoxious .

Throw me a rev if you see me out so I know its you.

Im in the area every once and awhile, so we might run into eachother. Bad weekend to move here tho, not much to do with a tropical storm moving through

And the love bugs suck! But gotta get use to them. I think theyll be gone soon, at least I hope.

If you need something to do, we are installing my headers on Sunday. Or if you want to swing by on the way to the beach or on the way home, I am in deland, right between Lake Mary and Daytona. 1418 Bent Oaks, Deland, 32724.

Definately get those bugs off every day. If the car sits in the sun with them on there the bugs guts will eat through your paint. They are seasonal.

Incidently I think I saw you. Loud Trans Am with Texas tags. I was in my work Dodge Caravan, so revving is just silly. I am all over that area, so I cant remember where I saw you. I kinda blew it off because of the TX plates, figured you were just passing through on the way to see the Rat.

Welcome TeX! Have fun at Dayton beach, its pretty busy and tuoristy, There is a pretty quick drive to a close beach thats more of a "local" beach town without any tourist n **** if you want something more laid back.

Where are you working?

Dont worry about the fuzz with the cutout, I keep my borla completely open with headers and ory all the time, just dont get on it. you will learn what roads they sit on, and what roads they dont.

hey disturbed bird, do you get on Ronald Reagan around 745 every morning? I see a black WS6 almost every day on the way to scc.

just be careful when you are on the west end of lake mary blvd. I just got pulled over for my tint. Officer Dipshit said that his tint-0-meter read that it was only letting 1% light through. THe lake mary and longwood p0lice love to hassle you for no reason. The sheriff's are pretty damn cool. I've got an all black T/A, with black z06s, dark tint, and one dark tail light and prolly a DRL/turn signal that doesn't want to work. It's not loud or fast, but I've got 90% of my exhaust **** on the way to my house. It'll be louder than anyones around lake mary, just like my LT1 was. It'll be nice to see another T/A around. Not to many nice ones around.

Josh's exhaust is about as loud as you can get ... doubt you'll top his on the decibel scale. My Tru Duals (back when I had them) weren't even as loud as his. When you get your exhaust done, it would be cool to hear you BOTH turn it loose.

I can attest for the loudness of that setup, my friend was running a very similar setup on his LS1 WS6. He had the Hooker LT's/TSP true duals (the very first true duals ever built by TSP, his car was the test mule) and a very aggressive TSP cam. It sounded sick as hell.
