Default Any F-bodys in the Jacksonville Area?

I just recently got stationed @ MCAS New River. I'm from Houston and in desperate need for F-body cruises/meets. My brother-in law is "XtinctHawko2"

back to the thread- no, there is nothing to do in north carolina.
Thanks Don't recall seeing you but I'm usually sleeping during the day(3rd shift). I know that Charlotte and Hickory have some good car meets and cruises going on. You going down to Charlotte on May 1st for the Grand Opening/Car Show? I may go down and see whats happening if I don't have to work OT.
Come on........You gotta get an LS1

thinkin about buyin a powerstroke now- probably a 95-97, get rid of the blazer- lift the powerstroke about 8-10" with 39" boggers and we'll be set, not sure yet, hard to come by the 5 speed crew cab 4x4s on the 94-97 variety for a decent price. would love an LS1, but being 17 that's not really feasible.

I live in Camp Lejeune, which is pretty much contained within Jacksonville of course. I drive a black T/A with red accenting on the exterior. Jacksonville is about 2 hours away from Raleigh.

BallerDave: On Wednesday nights there is a big gathering at 8Ball's, but its mostly imports. Every now and then on a weekend night you'll catch a gang of Mustangs and F-Bodies crusing around on Western Blvd. Other than that, head to the Raceway out on 24 and you'll find some F-Bodies. If you want to meet up sometime, let me know, because I know how hard it is to find some people to cruise with or even talk with.

I live right outside of Greensboro aka GreensBORING. It's hard to find other F-body guys/gals to talk to around here, but my best friend just got a 66 Chevelle Malibu, so I have someone to cruise with now...

I went with the spec 2 because I didn't think would be adding much if any power for a while but since then I've installed longtube headers and I have a cam sittin in my room. As for the price I got it from TTP, a sponser here. I don't remember the exact price, I think it was in the 800 range for the clutch kit, flywheel, and new hydrolics.

I'm up for anything. But the last 2 weeks of this month, I'll be in KY. I'm taking leave and getting out of this place for a while. Gotta relax!
