TheBiz is a horrible driver and can't seem to hit a single gear. I wasn't sure if you took driving lesson from him.

I'm sure there is something going on. There's always something to do. I'm sure there will be enough people to have a small GTG at Hooters or Bw's or somewhere. And then off to terrorize the ricer crowd.

C'mon up. If you wait on James, it won't be until late, midnite or so. But us non-nocturnal drivers meet up and cruise as we want. Not a big fan of Hooters (capital H, not small h) but BW3s would be sweet.

Yeah thats the route I'm going with on my Iroc after I put the 383 LT1 in my Formula! If you don't mind I have a few questions on the swap if you feel like helping me out..... Thanks Man.... And I though it had a swap done to it b/c I seen it was a stick and it just seemed a little faster than it should've been. But I didn't know what you had in it! Looked good though, liked the wheels on it too! And I bet it's a blast to drive....

greenwood exit, then county line, then soutport, then 465 interchange.....Not hard to find.... Just head west on 465 from I65 and go to the East St. exit.... North goes to Downtown and South goes to Greenwood.

Pretty good, James, thanx. Picked up an oil pan, valve covers & fuel rail for $20. Just need the flippin' intake and timing cover and I'll be set. Gotta get Jeff to get done with that GSXR so he can focus on matters at hand. I was over there last night and he chose to go to dinner with a cute blond chick instead of working on car parts with me. WTF?
PM sent on the rest.

Not a problem man, anytime!
Hope to see you around sometime....
I also know a guy in an 07 c6 TT vette you could cruise with as well. He's a pretty cool guy! May be a little extra fun to add to the night.... Maybe a vette on vette race! J/K Man

I know this isn't the forsale section, but a couple of you guys might be interested. I have a set of four Chrome 16" Trans Am Wheels. They have chrome center caps with a red bird on them. I need to dump them off. They are just sitting here. Fronts have a Goodyears with probably 3 or 4/32's. They'll be okay for a short period of time. The rears have basically a brand new set of Nitto DRs on them. I'd like to get $300 for the whole set. Don't really want to separate rims and tires. Shoot me a PM if interested.

They are out on 31 quite a bit when its nice (were most people hang out). Most of them are in under cover cars, a jeep, a truck, a crylser or two, from what I hear a mustang also. Have seen the jeep and truck pull people over.

Best advice if you come up is to be law abiding
