Default Just Moved to FL!

Hey everyone,

I just made the move from Los Angeles to Bradenton this week. My TA is being shipped over and should arrive this week. The highways here are so much smoother than LA and I can't wait to drive it down here, except for all the rain! Much different than drought ridden CA. It's going to be tough keeping it clean. Anyways, hope to see some of you around!

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the welcome. I've seen a few Trans Ams around here. Let me know when you all have another meet up and hopefully I'll be able to make it.

What cover are you looking for? I have a set of headers that have the EGR delete and what not i can give you those plates, since i'll be swapping over the ones that are currently on my car right now when the time arises.
I'm in Daytona, i'll be down for bringing my 3k trans am out ha
