Hi Jay! Seems that there aren't many members from our area. Have you been to the car show at Fosters Grill lately? I live close, and pass by frequently on Wednesday nights coming home from work. Looks to still attract a good crowd.

I haven't been to the fosters show in awhile.... mainly just been too lazy to drive over that way.

There are quite a few members in this area, they just don't post all that much

Sounds good. Getting some work done on my car and just got back from vacation, so still catching up on things. Glad to see that there are some people in the area. We'll all have to set something up for a cruise or meet up at a show. I'll probably be ready in a month.

That's cool. They did a story on the shows they have there then? I'll have to meet up with you there sometime. Waiting on mechanic to finish clutch install and a laundry list of things that need done.

There are a lot of us still left in the area with ls cars but like Jason said we don't post much. I haven't been out in over a year now. Dam Th-400 is having problems and getting my masters done was priority for the last year. Im not going to fix my car unless I have the cash up front. My car will be back up to snuff here real soon + some.

I have no life currently as I am working 2 full time jobs- inbetween moving into my new job in Naples.
