I know xxxSilencerxxx, Blackbird and Mike Morris - but would love to meet up sometime. Used to go to "gatherings" all the time when I lived in Maryland -- don't see that too much down here. I think it's because everyone has to work three jobs to make a living down here.

Anyway -- live on Merritt Island, have a store at the mall...now, where's the next meet? Hooters? What about TNT at Bithlo one Wednesday night?

Redbird555 is Daniel
GT4URAS is Nick FYI

I live in Cocoa. Recently purchased a 1996 Camaro SS. Looking for a shop within an hour or so to freshen up the motor and upgrade the cam. Any suggestions?

Also have a 1991 Z28 with a 350 for sale if anyone is interested. PM Me.

You didn't get that SS at Champions, did you? I don't recall the year of that one...

I wouldn't take it anywhere around here. Honestly. These guys talk a good talk, talk about how they need money, promise you they'll get it done good and fast - you drop your car off and months go by before you get it back, and it's never right. Take it somewhere other than here or figure out how to do it yourself, because at least then if it's f'cked up you'll be better acquainted with what might be wrong with it.

I'm over in Orlando. 09 CTS-V sedan making north of 800 on E, but it will be sold next week to a guy in Wisconsin, then i'll be flying to TX to pick up a 02 WS6 to make go fast lol. Looking at going over to Titusville for a while to add some more certificates to my pilots license. I'd actually like to just move out that way all together, but gotta see where my career leads me first.

I work there. Town is trashy after shuttle program ended. I live on Merritt island lots to do around there and you can drive anywhere from this location since it is a central point.
