Wee HAW! Closed on the house Friday. Yesterday, on Sunday, went to Lowes at Gainesville Mall off the 29(?), and saw a Red Shelby Cobra (SuperPerformance), driven in the 50 degree weather. Top Down! Yeeeeaaaahh!

I gotta tell ya, so far, the only thing I miss right now is the weather in Cali (which has not been that great since I left) and my 3 car garage.!!!

You guys even good have a lot of great looking women walking around. (but of course, since youre close to D.C., which has a lot of hotties walking around) Went to "Barnes and Noble" last night on Sudley, and spent more time checking out the scenery, than looking for gifts!

Damn. I was prepared not to like it here, but so far, its been a great first impression.

Can someone please PM me a good machine shop in the area. I do my own final assembly but I need a good machine shop.

I'll also be checking out f-bodyhideout.com and the local meets.

I'm the opposite. I loved it here at first, but now I can't stand anything about it.

As soon as the spring meets start again at the Burger King near the airport in Manassas you'll see some really nice rides. Boosted Z06's, GT500's, vipers etc..

The F-body hideout meet is going to be on January 10th at 2 pm at the Red Robin off of Liberia in Manassas. There is a thread on there but if you haven't gotten over yet then I figured i'd let you know. Hopefully going to be a good turnout if you need more info toss me a PM.

Yep that was me. I remember your ride, sounds vicious! My CETA has a baby cam 226/226 with a 3000 stall and stock exhaust. You should cruise to Manassas with us on the 10th for the gathering.

Yeah i thought that had to be you. Lol i like hugger orange and my car looks decent from a distance but once you get up on it you won't be very impressed(had a lil dent since i bought it and my clearcoat on my hood has started peeling) I guess there might be a slight chance i can make it, but we'll see.

Yeah i think I remember you, I saw a red TA with tinted windows going to work and going to the gym quite a few times, all about the same area on 208.

How about a shop or somebody that wants to hook up my nitrous kit for me? Anybody know of any good ones in the immediate area?
