Default New guy from Kentucky

Hello, figured I would join. I got out of the military back in summer and moved back to eastern Kentucky, and am loving it (even though the car scene isn't as exciting as Florida). I lived in Jacksonville, FL for years before I moved. Anyway, hey. I drive a 2002 WS6, m6 (stock, just WS6 options plus Volant) and a 1986 Thunderbird Turbocoupe, T5 (my winter driver and bad weather, and was also my first car).

Hey, I'm in the Cave Run Lake area. Lexington is quite a drive for me but I go there sometimes. Thanks for the website address, I will definitely check that out later. I ran across Lexistreets.com before and I signed up I think, but never really posted much.

Wouldn't happen to know of a good window tint shop in Mt. Sterling or Morehead would you? My T-bird needs tint badly.

No I cant say that I do...I am from Eastern KY originally, Louisa, but live in Georgetown now. I am not too familiar with shops around the Head...

Just to let you know, kyhorsepower.com is having our fall shootout event next weekend, the 28th. We rented Clay City for the entire day and have a bunch of good racin. If you think you might be interested, shoot me a PM and I will give you more info.

Ohh, and stay away from Lexistreets...bunch of punks with riced out Hondas

Sounds pretty cool, not sure what I am doing that weekend so that is an idea for me to keep in mind.
