    My buddy is moving to Sanford, FL and I thought I would see whats out there for him.He doesnt know anybody and is taking a new job as an airline mechanic. He's got a 54 chevy 2 door done up slight custom style but with a 383 stroker. He's a good guy, I hope he ends up in good hands!

    Friends don't let friends move to Fl. But if you can't stop him it's a great area for cruises and swap meets. T.R.R. is just up the road.

    it was cool when i lived there... besides the 4 hurricaines humid summers and old people. other then that it was paradise....

    he might have more fun on the east coast of fl. down in melbourne you got billy lane's shop Choppers Inc. and daytona always has some good parties. to me it seemed like the west had a lot of tokyo street racers not so many jalopys

    oh and toll roads are a *****

    Florida is alright. The Southern Grease Pit is a message board close to this in it's own way,But it's been Hacked at the moment.Sanford is right up the road from me about 8-10 miles.

    Thanks for all the responses. He's a good guy, I'd hate to see him lose interest in the car life just cause he's movin away, but it sounds like he's gonna have it better than me now!

    Sanford huh... That's Larry the Cable Guy's hometown. I love Larry but hated central Florida. I escaped last year.
    When the forecast says 50% chance of rain... that means it will rain only 50% of the day.

    It ****s for car events. I got rained out of half the drag races I went to.

  19. It doesn't take much to get out of the Gainesville area and over to Cedar Key, makes for a nice drive. South of there is Spring Hill, home of some enthusiastic car guys, mostly muscle cars. and Rusty210 and HotRodA.
