I'm still waiting for these gatherings. I turned 16 finally and my longtubes arrived 
. I wanna get together, and I've been seeing some nice camaros/firebirds around town. I've been tempted to stop them and ask them about it. Anytime after school(3 pm) or on the weekends would be good. Lemme know when things are starting to happen. If you ever see me around bradenton/palmetto, i'm in a red 2000 SS, wave or honk at me. I'll be looking out for you.

i see nice Fbody's in sarasota all the time........last nite saw a red t/a with breathless performance projector headlights, and a black camarao with black z06 motorsports wheels.
dont usually see the drivers though.......i was thinking about making up some cheap business cards with this forum address on it, and leave it on the windows of nice fbodys when i see them, that way we can get more local people together for meetups.

i drive down manatee every tuesday and thursday around 4 o'clock. And i'm in palmetto later those two days also. Lemme know about the meet ups. Still waiting to install headers, it sucks when you dont have jacks, or jackstands. Been waiting since feb 25 now to install them, but would like to do it with someone, and not pay the money. Never done this before so the experience is needed. It's an obsession, I drove the car one time and have been hooked ever since. Just another ls1 trying to get noticed.

If you see a 2001 Navy Blue Metallic SS with US ARMY tags
that would be me.
Give a wave.

Ok, I know my car isn't anything special, but I really wanna get a meet going. These damn Ford guys think their badass cuz ford throws a blower on the cobra and and x-pipe on the 5.0. We need to have a meet, and get alot of people there. Show people what a real car looks like. I may sound crazy, but it irritates that ford guys think their so awesome. If we threw a blower on our cars, they would destroy a cobra. I don't care where we meet, but there needs to be one. The other day I was at blockbuster on manatee ave. and saw a nice '99(?) navy blue z/28. Anyone know whose it is?? Pailhead, what are the plans for this meet?? Are we just gonna post dates on this forum, or should we get out and find some f-bods? I'll go flag down some people and see if they wanna go. I'll be on the lookout for you guys. I'm in a '00 SS rally red with t-tops. I'm 16 so i can't be that hard to miss.

goto discount/advance or autzone........they have nice quality jackstands, 2 for $18.
then goto harbor freight http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta..._stores.taf#FL in sarasota (if you order online you gotta pay shipping)
they have a kickass low profile jack that slides under even a lowered car, the smaller version is $80 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=91039 , and the one that goes higher is $130 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=47246 ........i bought the small one but i wish i had bought the bigger one.

I pass 51st almost everyday, but I am on Manatee Ave (West) I live on Perico Island. Work in East Bradenton.
If I ever find time, we'll all have to meet up.
Take care.

I'm in Tampa but come down to Bradenton and Sarasota on a fairly regular basis for work. I've seen quite a few very nice F-bods down there and I know there are more.
I'm a charter member of a local club here in Tampa: www.FLCFA.net and have a couple of members down your way. If I/we can do anything to assist you in getting your group up and running, please feel free to contact me.
We'd be happy to have you folks at some of our upcoming functions and we'd like to throw together a big bash in Sarasota now that the weathers getting nice
