I saw you in Lakeside Village Saturday night. I was sitting inside Brass Tap and heard something come rumbling and chopping up to the stop sign. I walked outside to try to catch you when you came around the corner but you were already going past

Have not been on here in a wile. I am putting my red camaro back the way it was and building a new car instead of the red one. Any one have a decent 4L60e and converter? Eric Kent has one that needs rebuilding but trying to see if there is anything out there that doesn't need to be rebuild first.

Farewell Polk county friends, I moved a couple months back to upstate New York and haven't spent much time here on the thread. I hope to find other like minded people up here. It finally stopped snowing regularly and is starting to warm up. It's been a rough winter for me here.

F-ing dirt bag drug addicts. They stole a LOT of money from a lot of people around here and haled *** to Georgia thinking no one could find them. Then one day I showed up on their doorstep (in Georgia) at 8am on a Sunday morning. They would not come outside but at least I got half my money back from the parts they had in their shed,

So I been gone a year now and what a brutal year it's been up here in Western NY as per the weather. Kinda sucks for my car also since it's been couped up in a barn since November. I did manage to get a nice piece of property with a creek and waterfall. I miss you guys and the Friday & Saturday night hangouts, which I've yet to find here. Hopefully I'll get back down there on vacation with the car soon. Here is a pic of my waterfall, my house is off to the right about 50 feet from the top of that waterfall

I wonder the same thing. The good old days people met up at best buy, or Southside books a million or that Publix by pipkin road, then we would go racing on pipkin or on frontage.
Good times

I've seen a good sounding black SS between Polk City and Lakeland a few times. There is also a low mile red one a guy has with some mods. Seen a few other LS cars including a couple GTO's. My SS is blue with the chrome 5 spokes. Rarely drive it but say hi or wave if you see me/it.
