Default UCF Camaro hello

Hello everyone,

I know I already introduced myself in the main section, but I figure I might as well get myself known in the Florida section. My name is Dana (I am a guy BTW) and I have owned my SS for roughly 1 year, and I've loved every moment of it......except for the time my driver's side window motor gave way. I am a Criminal Justice major and am in the process of getting hired by Orlando SpeedWorld.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time was a song that was made back in the early 90's, and then came along the "Banana Man" that you see in the sig. I was a little tipsy one night and I started doing the Banana Man thing, and it stuck. It's my UCF Car Club Trademark.

It is definitely not rice. In fact 2 F-body owners are on LS1tech. Hennytime and CrazyZ28. We have 13 Camaros and Firebirds, and at least 6 pop up every week. We have some imports, but they're not rice at all. A few STI's, an SRT-4 or two, a right hand drive MR2 and some other different imports
