Welcome, I'm from Modesto as well but I'm currently at school in San Luis Obispo. Looking forward to coming home for the summer and being back in the "scene" haha. I've seen a few f-body and muscle car groups, but I'm always busy when I come home and haven't had the chance to stop and talk to them. There's a pumped up pewter TA with dumps, slicks and skinnies that I've seen around a bit; been meaning to stop and talk to him to see who all he hangs out with.

Anyways, car's in my sig, have some HP split 5's waiting to go on when I get home though. Just shoot me a rev if you see me,

-Brandon.

LOL. I live in TN now, and I understand. That was a very nice way to put it. The slow pace here drives me f@!king nuts. I'll never be ok with the lifestyle here. As soon as I find work elsewhere I'm gone as well.

Welcome! Turlock guy here also. I roll around in a LS1 Trans Am (turlock), my brother rolls in a LS1 Camaro(turlock), My buddy Paul rolls in LT1 Camaro(turlock), My buddy Danny rolls around in a LT1 Camaro(modesto).

Just got done doing a cam swap in my ride yesterday. I love f-body's also. There are also about 10-12 other f-bodys from Modesto/Turlock area that come out and hang.
