I might be up for it if some other people are as well, btw the Oaks Mall parking lot and the one behind McDonnalds are two different lots.

GMCC meets at the best buy parking lot at around 8:00 or so I believe on Thursday nights. And, there's usually a bunch of cars at the Ale house around 11:00. Intmo club (international motorsports....the IMV Films guys) are sometimes there. There's also A TON of dumb ricers there too around that time. You just have to weed through them and find the good/cool people.

BTW nhraracer....head you were looking for some Halo lights?

Thanks a lot. Quick question.... I attend a few car meets in Orlando during the week, and this sounds more like the Waterford Lakes car meet that gets together on Tuesday night. I'm sure there are a lot of cool people, but does it get broken up because of the idiots?

OK, so I guess it isn't as bad as Orlando. I'll show up at around 9ish for the car meet. I'll be in an Arctic White Camaro SS.

There hasnt been alot of people (Hence the reason I didnt mention it myself) but hopefully Derek will make it out (hint hint) and bring his buddies along. And along with the people coming from here to meet up with Dana hopefully itll be a nice meet.

And I was black but not anymore, I found a set of OEMs with 12000 miles on them, look brand new.

Now to decide which car to bring out...decisions decisions

Got a chance to see the Gainesville scene tonight. Some really cool people out there, and even got a chance to speak to the IMV guys... they seem like a pretty cool group.

I hope to do this again soon.
