Default Im Here

Sup guys,

I posted about a month ago that i was coming down and here i am. I went to the T/A Nats on my way down and got to hang around with Jim Mattison which was cool. Im still going to try and make that show every year. I dont have a job yet but Ive only been here like 2 days. i need to find a shop that knows these cars inside and out i have a vibration that has an unknown location. may be wheel barings but i dunno its frustrating. anyways im in The Cape and have nothing to do. Hopefully Ill meet up with some of you guys on here before long.

Whats up you came down at the right time. We are having a cruize on sept 2nd. in fort myers. there will be around 30-40 cars showing up. good time to meet the locals. as for a shop there is a great one in fort myers J&J they can look at the problem they are over off of fowler by the chevy dealership.

If you have nothing to do, ya wanna help me move into a beach house on sunday, there will be beer.

its a little overwhelming. i need a job so thats got me worried a little as im still making payments on the ol girl. i also am taking some online classes but gotta love it here. i was hopeing ernesto was atleast going to be a 1 so i could say i went through a hurricane the first 2 days i was here. all we got was moderate rain. it wasnt even close to bad. actually compared to the storms in the afternoons we got a month ago it was weaker. it sucks cuz i left all my friends in michigan, so i kinda feel alone a lil but i have family here so its all good. thanks for the welcome guys!

If ya wanna come down to the beach house and drink some beer tomorrow night just let me know. We can check out what is making noise under your car.

I moved down in January after graduation and knew no one, the guys down here are pretty cool.

lol For real Ernesto was a joke. And almost in the same boat as you, I do have a couple friends though from when I lived here about 6-7 years ago. So, Im lucky in that sense, but im still trying to meet new people. If you ever make it down to the Boca/Deerfield area just let me know, theres a good amount of meets here. Towers is a good one to go to as well, a lot of folks from here and everywhere damn else go to that thing.

yea im hopeing to get things worked out. it makes things ten times harder when your still dealing with things at home...the old home. between my family and my ex its just horrible. sometimes i second guess my decision but i know i need to be here for a while. i havnt ventured out much since ive been here i may head down to the beach to hang out and get to know mike. how far away is boca ratan, ive never heard of it. cant be far considering how far down the state i am anyway.
