Awesome! Nice to meet ya Mike, I'm Chris. I should be moving out to Lakeland between December 15th and December 31st.

I dont know how quick or clean my LT1 SS is compared to some of your rides out there, but I would come out to Publix for sure! The SS is my daily driver, but also a "rescue" project. The previous owner was all about fun and no maintenance.

My girlfriend surpised me for Christmas by renting me a garage at our new apartment complex in Lakeland. So i'll finally have a palce to get some restorations and mods done.

Yeah that would be awesome. She is in BAD need for some suspension and break work. I may need to replace the OPTI before the suspension though.

It sounds crazy, but I would like to replace atleast one OPTI in my lifetime so i can actually know what I'm talking about when everyone else says "its a major pain in the ***."

But this is my daily driver and I cant afford to have it out of commission for too long. So for this go around I'll have a mechanic replace the OPTI. Are there any good shops around the lakeland area that any of you have a good personal car history with?

F-body scene in Lakeland is dead. 15-18 second ricers outnumber 12 second domestics 140:1. I haven't been to the Winter Haven F-body meet @ Cypress Gardens Publix yet but hopefully I check it out soon.
