Welcome to Florida!

As you can see, it is quite a bit hotter here then new york. id like to offer you the Florida fan temp special as a "welcome gift" Swing on by the shop sometime if you would like and we will reprogram your cooling fan times for free to better combat the heat.

I think you will like it here, especially in the winter

I wont be there either, my car is parked at the Daytona Marina, not running well. Once its back up, or I get an LS1, I wanna get in a club or somethin. Your ride looks sweet from the sig pic.

It really is flat here man, I'm used to seeing mountains and more things in the sky!
